    You could make sure finalize is enabled, and maybe check setting's for how media size is reported.

      Make sure you are using the same "Gigabyte" units. Disk manufacturers mean 1000 * 1000 * 1000 when they say Giga. Most software means 1024 * 1024 * 1024 when they say Giga. So a disk that holds 4,700,000,000 bytes is a 4.7 GB disk according to the disk manufacturers. But programs call that about 4.3 GB.

        in my computer , the file is a 4.53 gb file. I can look at it with explorer or my computer and it is still 4.53 gb. It should fit, but from other sites, they say 4.4 gb is about max for dvd. It doesn't make sense. I haven't tried the plus format yet. I've cramed a lot in a cool format and am bummed it won't fit. I might dvd shrink it, just thru frustration. Arggggggg why doesn't any of this crap work right ?????? I still get bad encodes on a 4,000$ plus system. I just had one. Back to dvd problem. The file is 4.53. The disc is 4.7. Why doesn't it fit? How much buffer do they need? From burned disk , about 10 sec from movie one is missing. But all other movies and audio are fine. All mpeg2 files were encoded via adobe mpeg encoder. Audio is pcm. I don't want to encode to ac3. Nunchal

          Junkmalle is perfectly right. The MAX that a DVD will hold is ~4.3 Gb. From experience, I find it is bad practice to fill a disk and I aim for 4.0 to 4.1 Gb: much more reliable playback!

            nunchalnaomi, I guess you didn't understand my earlier reply. When disk manufactures say their disks hold 4.7 GB, they mean 4,700,000,000 bytes. When your computer tells you a file is 4.53 GB it means it is 4.53 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes -- about 4,860,000,000 bytes. Try this: right click on the file in Windows, select Properties from the menu. On the file properties dialog look at the line that says "Size:". You will see something like "4.35 GB (4,860,000,000 bytes)"

              Take a deep breath and read what we are saying...

              DVD Disc says its 4.7GB capacity (they get that number by 4.7 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000) = 4,700,000,000 bytes.

              Your file on the PC is 4.53GB (to get that your PC uses 4.53 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 4,864,050,462.72 bytes lets round that up to 4,864,050,463 bytes.

              Now no matter how you cut it 4,864,050,463 byte (your completed video file) will NOT fit on ANY 4,700,000,000 byte (single layer DVD). I know you think your getting the short end of the stick, but that's how the entire PC world works. Manufacturer's use the 1000x1000x1000 for a GB while the PC by design is 1024x1024x1024.
