hi,i downloaded this axxo torrent and it's around 701mb when i use nerovision express 2 and choose create dvd, the file suddenly becomes 5.05 gb! why is that? and a message says: Your project currently exceeds the capacity of a normal DVD, but still fits onto a DVD-9 disc. Do you want to have the project quality reduced automatically so that your project will fit into the available space? i say ok, but then it says i have to reduce it manually, how do i do that? help please!
The original file is an mpeg4 within an AVI container in all likelihood. Nerovision is converting the mpeg4 to the DVD compliant mpeg2 format. MPEG4 is a more highly compressed video format than MPEG2 so the conversion results in a much larger file. You can adjust the video quality settings to reduce size by clicking the More>> button, the Video Options button, and then the DVD-Video tab. You should then see a Quality Settings menu. You can also save the Nerovision DVD9 result as a folder of video files and then run it through Nero Recode or DVD Shrink to compress to fit a DVD5.
