Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how do I correct it?

It's too big.


Two options:


1) Take the original file into Compressor an reduce the bit rate.


2) Break it up into a multiple disks.


Good luck.

Thanks for your help. Will take your suggestions and do a little experimenting on the break points. I'm thinking that i'll probably have to compress it or split it among several DVDs since the project is 8.7. I'm assuming that it won't fit since the capacity of the DL DVD is 8.5. Anyway, I'll post back later and let you know what happens.

Just wanted to let you know that somehow and don't ask me how, two Quicktime movies were deposited into the DVD SP project. The size of the project was doubled. I took everything in to the Apple store and talked to a creative, who fixed the project but deleting the unwanted project and reconnecting everything. I was able to burn a DL DVD with no problem.
