Dang It.. My movie is too long!

[scoutcam]

Hi all.

This is my first post to Elements Village, but certainly not my first visit. I must first say thanks to all of you who have allowed me to find solutions to my questions and problems. :)

Here's my problem. My movie ended up exceeding the max ....

Oops, never mind. I'm a dummy. :o

120 minutes equals 2 hours...... I thought my movie was too long at 1hr 34 minutes for burning to a disc. :o

See, you did help me anyway, just by me sitting here thinking about my question.

O.K. Back to work!

Thanks for all your support! :)

Do not breath a sign of relief yet.

Assuming that your computer has enough resources (available RAM and free hard drive space) to support your project, you could end up with your project burned to disc at a lesser quality than you wanted.

I am assuming that you are going to burn your Timeline to a DVD disc (4.7 GB/120 min) to generate a DVD-VIDEO.

When you get to Share/Disc/Disc and are in the Burn Dialog and have your DVD disc in the burner tray, check out the values that you get in the Quality Area of that Burn Dialog. With Fit Content to Available Space checked, what does it say for Space Required and Bitrate?

High quality has the bitrate of 8. The program will automatically attempt to fit your content to the available space and, when necessary, will lower the bitrate to make the fit. The lower the bitrate, the lower the end product quality. So, if you see a bitrate less than 8, stop and we need to talk.

If worse comes to worse, does your burner and player support DVD double layer (8.5 GB/240 min) and do you see any content that can be cut?
