"contents of this VIDEO_TS folder cannot be compressed"

When trying to burn VIDEO TS files with Toast, I keep getting the following error message when dragging the files over:

"Contents of this VIDEO_TS folder cannot be compressed".

WTF??

Does the Video_TS require a dual layer DVD? What is the file size of the Video folder? If it's bigger than 4.7gb then you'll need dual layer discs.

Hmmmm...good point. The VIDEO_TS folder is 7.26gb. I thought Toast would compress this to fit it on one disc???

Nope. It can't compress any Video TS folders unless you do a file conversion which will likely take forever and lose a lot of quality. You need some DL DVD's.

That's weird....because I have another VIDEO_TS folder that is 6.26GB that just burned using Toast without a problem.....?

Hmm, that is weird. Well, I can't really advise past what I've already said. Maybe the 6gb folder was compressed to fit, yet the large 7gb folder can't be compressed enough? Good luck.

Anyone else have any suggestions?!??!?!
