I'm not quite sure what's going on here but my project is a combination of two HD videos of a play combined together using different tracks along with synched external audio on separate audio tracks. The video ends at about 2 hours 20 minutes, however, after I produce the file (well within size to fit on a blu-ray) the disc creation shows I don't have enough space on the 25GB disc. I tried to use SmartFit which DID work, however, the resulting Blu-Ray actually has over an hour of blank space at the end! I'm guessing this extra hour of time is what's causing it to be too large. How do I get rid of that? I want it to go back to the menu at 2:20:00 anyway and that extra hour prevents that...for an hour of blank screen. I'm sure this is the size issue. Anyone know what the problem could be? I did notice a subtitle track that I had checked above all my tracks which is empty. Before re-producing the project, could that be the issue? Even when I uncheck it, my timeline goes to 3 hours and 38 minutes.

I think I figured it out after finding another post that was similar. Sorry if this duplicated the question. I exanded out as far as I could go on the timeline and somehow found a tiny audio file at the very end of the project. No clue how it got there out over an hour on the track. I've removed it and will re-product...hopefully that's it!

Why not try other video editors, both free or paid may help.

Don't know what you mean but I intended to say re-produce the video not re-project. Powerdirector is working great for me and has for years.

Anyway this did fix the issue. I've noticed now that cutting and removing chunks of video from tracks leaves tiny frame fragments far down the timeline which is what caused this. You can't see them unless you expand the timeline to frame level so they are hidden otherwise. Never had this issue with PD7-PD13 so must be a new bug. Definitely not good but at least fixable if you know what to look for.

Always pretty nice to have discovered one's own issue and resolve it... isn't it nice?

If you could go back to your initial post and edit the subject line and add something like 'SOLVED - PD14 ' added to your original subject text.... that would be great!
