Depending on the original size (file size of the images) the number of images
that fit on a blank CD or DVD differs.
For the MPEG-2 encoder it can be difficult to supply reliable information
relating to the required memory space. If the "variable bit rate" of the MPEG-2
encoder is activated, encoding will occur according to the movements in the
picture. The required memory depends on the film material; an action film
would need more memory than a drama, for instance.
If you cannot save your disc project on a single disc, you will have to divide it
up into different sections.
Further information on MPEG compression and formats can be found in the
chapter "Annex: digital video and data storage" (view page 363).
Test series with variable encoder settings
If you would like to know how much memory space you require for various
encoder settings, you should run some simulations before burning.
So you don’t waste any blank CDs while testing, you should activate the
“Simulate first” option.
Then create, for example, a short (ca. 5 min.) disc project and simulate burning
in multiple cycles with various settings.
After every simulation you can access the created file on the hard disk to
check how large the file has become.
