DVD Project too big

I hope someone can help me.

I spent weeks working on a DVD project. Unfortunately, it is too big to fit onto a DVD. Is there any way I can split a project into 2?

Alternatively, can someone please explain, in English, how I can burn the project onto an image drive, and then use Nero to get it to fit onto a DVD? Would this work?

Thanks.

 

Before those can be answered you will need to tell what the project was created in.

 

Hopefully this is the answer you are looking for: the project was created in Nero 6. It was created as a DVD project.

THANKS

 

Then I am going to guess that by nero you mean nve.

If so just open the project and when you get to the point where it says this project is to big for the disk and should ask if you want it to compress to fit or whatever its message is that means the same thing. I would tell it no and continue. When get to the burn part select to write to hard drive.

You will then have a folder on the hdd wherever you told it to put it with a dvd layout such as decrypted from a dl dvd movie. Then you can split it to 2 disk with shrink or whatever you like or shrink it for 1 disk, whatever you like.

Like "whompus" said, did you created your DVD project using Nero Vision? If so and your results are too big, then you can have Nero Recode to encode/transcode or shrink it so it'll fit onto a DVD-R or DVD+R disc perfectly.

- open up Nero Recode 2
- recode an entire movie
- set/checked mark on [fit to target] and customize the size to 4400MB
- click on Import and browse to your files and go from there to transcode or shrink your files.
- remember to use "advanced analysis" and "High quality slow mode" (this will improve the quality in results

Good luck!!!

 

I don't seem to have the option to write the project to the hard drive. I can burn it to a disc, but that's it.

By the way, in case it means anything, my project has a .nvc extension and has a [DVD+VR] after the project name.

Please help!

 

Any ideas why I don't have the option to write to the hard drive?

 

You still need to give more info (ie specific to what is(are) your project? What movie is it that's too big for you to fit onto a DVD+R or DVD-R disc)?. According to my understanding, everything should be able to import/load into your hard drive and then encode/transcode/compress with Nero Recode 2 or DVD Shrink if you've successfully ripped or converted into a VIDEO_TS folder.

Good luck!!
