Hey what's the length of video?

[Alexander2010]

Why you put it in Vegas for add chapters and burning? Vegas is montage programm. I would you advice other programm for this (TMPGEnc Authoring Work), but definately not Sony Vegas.

Anyway, there's still an option to burn a dvd directly.

Probably properties of your vob files are different (lower) than output settings. Check your video files with gspot and set the same project properties maybe?

Erm....... The total length of the files together is 2hrs55mins.
Mpeg2 10080 kb/s vbr
720x480 29.970 fps 16:9
48000 Hz 256 kb/s

Those are project properties right? You have to know video bitrate of files that you want to convert/author.
Anyway Vegas is right. Following this: http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm size should be around 13GBs.



I suppose to lower video bitrate to variable values, up to 9,8 mbps with average 6,0 which is standard in Vegas.

What i don't understand is...... If i have the vobs ready to go,and they only add up to 7.4 gig,why does it double in size just by using Vegas to add chapters to it?If i burned them as they are now,without chapters,it would fit on a DL DVD...... I don't get it.........

I've never recorded any dvds with Vegas... so all I answered is only my guess

I'd recommend using Nero Vision. Should be good, however I don't know if it's going to reencode video in any way.

Or, of course DVD Lab PRO, but that would be stupid for a short, single project.

Use TMPGEnc Authoring Work! Add own chapters, menu and create a new DVD (without re-compression in most cases). It will not take you more than 15 minutes if you want to add only chapters. It's easy, you can do it

Thanks for all the help.I finally found Womble Easy DVD,does exactly what i needed,easy to use,chapters,menu,all done and fits on 1 DL DVD....Simples!
