Size Correction by Reducing...
In cases where the destination is (S)VCD or DVD Image and the source material coming from
the current Timeline would exceed the capacity limit of the selected burner medium, automatic
data reduction kicks in. The current capacity limit (DVD) is 4.37 GB.
Choose:
w Bit rate - automatically scales down the encoding bit rate to fit all data on the medium
(but not below 2 Mbps). If necessary still, phase 2 is enabled:
w Number of frames - This causes the remaining overflow to be cut off. If you choose this
option from the outset, the preset bitrate is kept at the selected level.
The capacity information used here and in the software is based on one kilobyte ~ 1024
bits. Thus, a gigabyte is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Occasionally the
capacity of a DVD is specified as “4.7 gigabytes (GB)”, but it is actually 4.7 BB (= billion
bytes) because it is based on one kilobyte ~ 1000 bits. These 4.7 BB correspond to 4.37
GB “real data”.
