    Hi All,

    I just captured my honeymoon video using Adobe Premier 2.0 and I am trying to burn it to DVD but it keeps saying "Insufficient Disk Space for burning". I know that the video is HUGE (something like 50GB ) and i still have 55GB disk space free.

    How can I compress it or reduce the quality to make it fit on a DVD? its only 3 hours of footage plus the DVD menu.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    What type of settings are you using? (3 hrs in 50GB)?
    Is it in High Definition?

    Thanks for your reply, I dont know how to check. I think its NTSC high quality 9mb???

    How do I find out, and can i convert it to something of lesser quality so it can fit onto a DVD?

    Thanks.

    Rabbie.

    You can always use DVD Shrink but I dont think anything can compress 50 GB down to a 4.36 GB DVD-R, but you can always try ;)

    Sounds to me like a massive AVI capture. If so you will need to encode it as an MPG to be able to burn it onto a DVD. Then you need to author it as a DVD, and then you'll be able to burn.

    What is the format of the 50GB file? AVI, MGP, or another format?
