HI, I have a movie that is in .avi formatt and it is about 696mb. I wanted to put it on a dvd+r using nero startsmart. I convert all my movies to dvd using nero startsmart. Ok heres what happened, I to load it up on to nero start smart and it said: Your project currently exceeds the capacity of a normal DVD, but still fits onto a DVD-9 disc. You need a DVD-9 media to record your project on. Do you want to have the project quality reduced automatically so that your project will fit into the available space? If you click No, the project size will be expanded to DVD-9. Yes No I selected yes. It said: The project quality was automatically reduced to Long play (3382 kbps). OK so I went throught and created the menue like I laways do and I hit burn. So it burned over night like it al ways does but once it said it was done wich was like 8 hours later there was only 5 minets os the movie on the dvd+R disc. Do you guys think this is because it is in .avi formatt?
to be honest it should be fine i mean i burn all my movies on the reg dvds 4.7 an it works perfectly but wat happened to me one time was there wasnt nuff space to convert the hole movie but still took 8 hours lol. umm so make sure u ahve nuff space and u can use dvd shirnk sumtimes to preveiw it ina way the dvd files before you burn. hope dat helps
