I wish to extend my deepest thanks to all you wonderful guys that have helped me over the months to complete my 5 HOUR Motorcycle trip out west (America). I wanted to let the guys know I did break up the videos into three 3rds. It worked! So I do have 3 Dvds of the trip.
Everyone at my party was so impressed and it was a hit. We had a tragity in our family, one of our family members that was also on the bike trip (my husbands brother-in-law, Gary) passed away suddenly just days after our party. My sister-in-law (mary) actually requested her copies to be played at the funeral home. (I didn't think she would even want to watch it, because of the loss of her husband). But it played on, and everyone just enjoyed it immensily! I got awesome comments all over the place and it has been very valuable to Mary to treasure the memories of her husband of 24 years.
This bike trip was a once in a lifetime trip out NorthWest America. 5 of us, all family, took this trip in 2 weeks on the backs of our motorcycles. The Sony camcorder held up on the road moving at speeds up to 80mph. The color and pictures perfect! So this DVD was to watch for years to come and enjoy. We never thought it would be so emotional, not knowing that Gary would be gone like this so soon in his young life (49).
So again, Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys, for all your help, your quick responses so I could get this DVD complete, and Gary was able to watch it before he died.
I don't know why there is no manual to read on how to use the PD7, and the help menue is very vague. So this Cyberlink is so invaluable and all of you great people are here to help us "first time users". I look forward to finishing some more dvds for freinds and family since I have a wedding reception, 4th of july celebrations and more on there.
Hugs and Kisses to you all. Bless You!!

Ok, So my problem here is time. I cannot re-edit it and then move all the music back around again.
I appears that I cannot just put in a disk, wait for it to fill, and then add another one. I have never done all this before, So everyone's great tips are a foreign language to me. Simply: How do I do it?
So I guess one of the comments is: I can divide my video into sections and how do I do this?
I would be happy to, but how, and do I need to start all over with a new project, and do one DVD at a time?
This sounds like an all nighter. This project has been 3 months in the works. Ugh.
If I have to start all over, I guess I have to. But if there is a way to avoid this I am all ears.
I do have my project divided into chapters. 32 of them. So if someone wants to watch the Badlands, they can go there, Yellowstone, Utah, Northern Michigan, etc... So it is not that they have to watch all of it at once. I have to make 3 copies as well for the other motorcylists that came on the trip. So they can watch it all in their own time.
I have already edited out some, but then we are missing a lot of good scenery that we may never see again. This is why it is 5 hours long. 5:45 to be exact.
Please help, I just need instructions on how to do this.
I have lots of Memorex DVD+RW, 4.7GB, 120 minute video, up to 4x.
120 Minutes is for SP, standard Play, I can do 360 min of SLP Super Long Play, 240 min for EP, extended play, and of course down from there (LP,SP,XP) But I understand the quality is worse the longer the play.
***I noticed the copy that I burned on SP, Did NOT work in the DVD player at all.(I was hoping something was there, and the DVD did burn as expected). IS there something I should be aware of with PD7 on settings so that the DVD will actually play? This is all a first for me.
I am going to try and burn a copy on SLP to see if it will work, but that is still going to overfill.
xoxo, Heidi
PS: I don't think a basket will stay on a motorcycle. LOL. But thanks. Hee hee.

Ok, Bike trip girl here again. LOL
I have it all done! Now I need to burn my bike trip to DVD. I know this video is about 4-5 hours long! It will take more than one DVD and I want to keep the video quality looking good so I tried to burn the first disk at SP (standard play) which is 120 minutes per DVD.
I know this DVD is not long enough for the entire video, but I cannot seem to figure out how I should add more Disks. I was hoping the computer would burn the disk and stop when it gets full and ask me to insert another disk (just like when I do backups). But it didn't. It simply said there was an error, disk not big enough.
Has anyone solved this issue before? I have a viewing party for this in 2 days on saturday. I want to get this all burned to disk.
What can I do to get around this issue?
PS: Thankyou RobertJ/OZ for your help with the music question. Your video explained it all. xoxo.

Hi Robert, Thankyou for your reply.
Now this is what I figured would happen. I have to mute the video clip in order to listen to the music I have put in. So now I have the music moved like you told me to, I split it. But now, when I get to the split the video track is mute. (and it flies back to the beginning of the track). I unchecked "Mute Clip" but now it plays the noise on the video track and the music track I have attached. So double the sounds unless I mute the video track again. Any help?
ALSO, I Know where the music fade is, but I can't seem to get it to work right? This is why I asked how to apply it. I know I am missing something or doing something wrong.
I love the support here! I am working on 4+ hours of video I took on a motorcycle trip, most of which is video while riding, there are a few points of interest like in the Badlands where we stop and get educated on some things about them, so I like to have the person talking about it in between riding with the music in the background.
so I am sure I will be back for more help. I hope no one gets annoyed. LOL. Thanks again, Heidi

I have PD7. And I have the music added to my video. However, I want to pause music I have added for about 30-40 seconds to listen to some important audio on my video, and then resume the music. How do I do this???? I know there is a way because I believe I read about this before but I could not find it in the forum today. The audio is pretty much in the middle of the music song, and then comes this place I want to pause it. Otherwise I have to end the song and then restart from the beginning after I get through this small short audio I want to hear. **ALSO, I am having a hard time figuring out how to fade out a song that is not finished, I understand the icon, but how to do it is another thing, and the help menu is kind of vague. Any help out there on both situations? Thanks, Heidi
