I cant seem to get the disc space to be used under 110% therefore I am unable to start recording... anyone have any idea what is going wrong?
If you are using the TMPGEnc Wizard, you should be able to adjust the percentage on page 4 of the wizard setup process. However, if your encoding project is very long, you may run into the problem that TMPGEnc has a minimum DVD bitrate that it will not allow you to go below. You can do one of two things in this case: 1) Just go ahead and encode the file even if it will end up too large (ie, 110%). Once you have encoded and authored, you can just run the title-set through DVDShrink to compress it down to the correct size for burning on a DVD-R. 2) If you originally selected PCM audio (page 1 of the wizard setup), go back and select MP2 instead. An MP2 file will be much smaller than a PCM file, and may give you the space that you need. Good Luck
