afink01 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Greetings all:I have greatly enjoyed PTE and made several fun shows. Typically, I have generated an MP4 on my desktop, copied to my laptop, and then played on our flat screen using HDMI cable from laptop directly to TV (with Media Player classic). I would like to create my most recent show as a DVD that I can play in my DVD player. However, when I try to do this, despite the project line at the bottom of the screen indicating 0.9GB and using a new blank DVD disk, I get an error message saying that the disk only has 1.9GB free and that 2.6GB are needed. Any suggestions?ThanksAaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Aaron,My best guess is that you have included video files in your PTE project. Currently the projected output size calculation PTE displays does not include any video file sizes added to the total project.Igor will most likely address this total projected calculation in a future release.

davegee Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 If you have a DVD Burning utility (third party or W7 Cyber Link Power2Go) you can create an ISO instead of trying to burn directly to DVD. Untick everything other than Create ISO File.Then double click on the ISO file to bring up the DVD burner. If the ISO is greater than about 4.4Gb then it will not do it.Try that?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afink01 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for your replies. There are no video files in my show. I will try the ISO option and see if that works.Happy New Year to you both.Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 AaronThat ISO option you have been given will probably do the job. Its what I used to do sometime ago if ever I had an issue with a DVD. However, I have found another problem that you might want to look at at some stagePTE does create temp files sometimes and if you look in this address you can delete anything referring to pte C:\Users\Barry\AppData\Local\Temp\ In your case the word barry will reflect something else of course. I found that there were some temp files left which interferred with me writing a DVD. Once I cleared them , then the DVD was created OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
