Good Morning!

I am having an issue burning a mov file to DVD in toast. Toast gives me an error saying that I need 4.7 gigs, with only 4.4 gigs available on my DVD.

My question, I guess, is in two parts. First, is there a way to change settings in toast to burn to 4.7 gigs? Second, if not, is there software (preferably freeware) that will condense a mov file?

By the way - I am using Toast Titanium 6.0.7, verbatim DVD's, mov files converted using divx doctor II

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You probably have your preferences set to 'best performance'. If you change this to 'best quality' you can use the full 4,69 GB...
Just go to preferences (apple + ,) and then change the setting.

If that setting is already in the right position, post back here and we'll work something else out...
