DVD maximum file size.

Gambalunga

Operating system Windows 10. VideoPad free version.

I am trying to burn a 4.7 GB DVD with a movie of about 25 minutes. The MP4 original file is 3.64 GB and the AVI version is 1.66 GB. When I try to burn the DVD it stops at about 1 GB ejects the disc and asks me for another disc. Looking at the files on the DVD the VTS_01_1.vob file is 1 GB.

It seems to me that the software needs to create multiple VOB files to get the film on one DVD.

How can I get my entire movie onto one DVD?

See what Express Burn does for you.

And, if space is tight, this utility might be useful.

Was that a typo or is really 3.64MB and 1.66MB?

Can you try burn to an ISO file?

Oh dear!!!!! I put MB and it should have been GB. I have corrected the original post. Thanks for pointing out the error. Put it down to mental exhaustion 🙂

Regarding burning to an ISO file you can't do that with the free version. To tell the truth I was thinking of getting the paid for version but it seems that there are a couple of limitations with VideoPad: Only one movie per dvd and no menus.

I will have a look at Express Burn to see what it does.

Well Express Burn seems to do what I want but I finished up with a replay on the TV that was not a very good resolution and the small objects such a leaves on trees were very flickery or strobing. I will go to the Express Burn forum to see what can be done.

If Express burn is not to your liking then give DVD Styler a try. You can download it here https://www.dvdstyler.org/en/

This is a free Open source DVD authoring program that gives you full control over the result (Menus/images for menus/chapters etc. The result seem OK. Another program I have used is the Windows DVD Creator program that came with WMM This is a bit simpler but OK.

Another program that you could try is Sothink Movie DVD maker..... http://download.cnet.com/s/sothink-movie-dvd-maker/

Ditto...Ashampoo Free burning studio suite....... https://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/pin/7110/burning-software/burning-studio-free

These are all worth a try.
