I'm in the final stages of creating my first DVD using this software. When I went to make the movie, it said that the file size was 4800MB, which won't fit on the DVD. So I took half of it out and made another file (figuring I would just have 2 DVDs) to make the file size smaller, but it keeps telling me that it's still 4800MBs and that it won't fit!!! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Did I skip a step somewhere??? Help please!
Ok so I don't really know what I'm doing as I've only used used WinDVD creator for 2 weeks (now it's stopped working altogether by the way) but I had the exact same problem, and did the same as you and cut some video from the project but same message. Then I think (can't recall exactly as I cant get in anymore!)I noticed I had the quality (?)setting on 60 mins instead of 120. I changed it to 120min and I think it worked then after saving as a new project name and retrying. Maybe a different issue to yours though.
I am not that familiar with this program because I am new to it as well BUT I found out that if you click the view on the bottom to timeline, then if you move that around it somehow shrinks the movie based upon how you move this. I am not sure exactly what it suppose to do, alls I know is it worked and I was able to burn a few things this way. Any idea how to use the *create menu* ??
I figured it out. The total size of all the video clips was app. 11 Gb which doesn't fit on 1 DVD (in fact, it needs 3 DVDs). The software only displays 4,800 Mb as a maximum and isn't specific about the amount above that number. Thanks for trying though.
