View Full Version : Help, I need room on a DVD5 . . .

Hi Folks,
I looked at the "hidden settings" post and the numbers don't add up. Unless . . .

I thought that a DVD5 = 4,482 meg (4.482gig) Is this the max for a "data DVD" or is it the max for a "Video DVD" ?

In the hidden settings post, 2236400 * 2048 * 1.015 = 4,539,892 (call it 4.540gig). Is this the size of a "videoDVD" and which do I use if I'm using CCE SP 270 trial ?:

CCETargetSectors= OR TargetSectors= ... ?

BTW: none of the (xxx)TargetSectors= lines are currently in the ini file.

In any case, when I did a 1click, Nero choked on a burn of 4,508 as it sits on my HD. That's after the 1click rebuild, I then copied the "extras". Thus, 1click took the VIDEO_TS from 5,180 down to 4,435, then add 55+18 = 4,508 and... no burn!

Anyway, the real question is how to get DVDrb to take a HD dir:
K:\DVD\ --------------------5,253
K:\DVD\name\AUDIO_TS------0
K:\DVD\name\source---------55 (extras)
K:\DVD\name\VIDEO_TS------5,180
K:\DVD\name\ ---------------18 (support files)

and (preferably using 1 click) compress to fit DVD5 for Nero not as an ISO but a subdir so Nero's read verification functions properly)

AND preferably on a disc-by-disc basis, rather than editing rebuilder.ini in DVDrb's program dir on "C", Though editing the ini from time-to time is not a big deal, just gotta remember that that is the method to use.

I've got a couple of others with more/less extras.

-----
Ok, tried the following:
added the line:
CCETargetSectors=2236363 to the [Options] section of rebuilder.ini.
I'm figuring: 55+18meg (of extras) div 2 = 37 so the default of 2236400 sectors - 37 = 2236363, right ? WRONG !

Well, now, 3 hours later...
That didn't work, looks like after a 3 hour rebuild, the total went from 4.508 to 4.506 gig and Nero still chokes.
What SHOULD I be doing ???
And why didn't the CCETargetSector reduction work as expected ?

It is not clear what "hidden settings" post you are refering to.

However, a DVD5 can hold 4482 MiB = 4.37 GiB*. This is the same for video or data.


* (or, confusingly, 4.7GB - because a GB is different to a GiB).
