Hey guys,
I'm editing a wedding video in iMovie and was able to successfully transfer it to iDVD and create a nice theme. The project is now finished and I want to burn it to a DVD. When I click the button to burn it, a message appears that says my project exceeds the maximum content duration. It says I need to change the encoder setting in the Project Info window in order to burn my DVD. There are only 3 options for encoding that I see: Best Performance (which I have now), High Quality, and Professional Quality.
What encoding setting do you guys suggest I use to make this work? It says that changing the encoding mode will require iDVD to encode all previously encoded assets again. Should I be concerned? My movie project is about 2 hours and 20 minutes or 141 minutes total (7.76 GB).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I want to get this project done and deliver it to the couple in a timely manner, so I'd like to get this done tonight.
EDIT: I changed the DVD format in the Project Info window and thought I got it to work, but when it goes to burn the disc there is a burning preparation error that says there's not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. I don't understand because I'm using a new DVD (DVD+R DL) with a capacity of 8.5 GB or 240 minutes. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Ken
