I create my menu perfectly how I want it, I then leave the program to encode the files (with the menu) for a couple of hours. It saves everything as 1 .divx file but I am not sure what to do with it. I've searched on Google for help and somewhere said you can burn divx files using Nero Burning ROM using the data mode. Since the .divx file is over 2GB, I had to use the UDF format. So I burn the .divx to my DVD disc but none of my stand alone DVD players (I have 3) can read the disc. My computer can but that's no good.
So my question is, what can I do? |
Has nothing to do with the size of the input files. DVD-Video is generally limited by the playback time. 1.5 - 2 hrs is about the limit, depending on the encoding quality. You can easily change your output settings if you wish, or use
DVDShrink to shrink the final output to a 4GB disc size. In any case, you can create any size DVD-Video project you want, you just can't burn it if it's too big for the disc. Just ignore the warnings about the project size and create the project on the hard drive in a folder.
Depending on the quality of your MPEG4 (AVI) files, you can expect to put 2-2.5 hours on a DVD-video disc with decent image quality. But again, I'd use DVDShrink to shrink the DVD to a single disc size. Or, use dual layer media and double the project size.
