Hi Folx,

I Imported a MP4 file in Power director 15 to crate a DVD. File size is 7 GB I have a 8.5 GB DVD and I selected 8.5 GB G DVD in the disk option of Powerdirector. each time I bring the file in Power director, the size droppe to 4100 MB. after I burn the DVD, it obvioustly get les qualyty than my MP4 file. I mean verry poor quality.

I tried with BR drive and got same result.

I renered the file with PD as MPEG 2 file but size dropped again when I imported the redered file in for DVD vcreetion.

I really want a high quality DVD with no lost at all.

Please help.

It is possible that the bit rate of the mp4 file is 14 Mbps. Try a BR or avchd disc at 1080p60/50 settings. You can only get about 20 min. of material on the avchd disc at that setting.

You have to have a high end BD player to play these discs.

Thank you for your answer. But it looks like I am missing something.

I use H.264 format in Premier to export MP4.

I just exported another one with frame rate of 30Mbps and 50Fps 1920x1080. video last 54min and the size is 18.8 GB.

When I go to Create Dis in Power Director and drop the file in the conrtent tab, it shows at the bottom 4184 MB / 8500 MB.

As you can see it is using less than the half size of my disk.

See other thread. If your customer only has a DVD player, you don't have a choice. With 4.7GB DVD, you can get about one hour at the highest quality. On 8.5GB, that just about doubles. If you are using a 1080i MP4 to create that DVD, the video will be automatically down converted to conform to the DVD standard.
