Oversized?

[bsmntcritr]

Greetings to all!
After stumbling on to this forum, I thought I would drop a question. When burning DVD's on my home system, Everything burns and plays decent until I create a DVD with a MPEG2 file larger than 4GB. The most recent issue came from a dvd +rw with a file size of 4.3+GB. The movie starts and plays well until a certain point at which the dvd player reverts back to the main menu. The original MPEG2 file on the computer play cleanly throught the entire movie without errors. This leads me to think that there is a size limitation on a DVD somewhat less that the advertised 4.7GB.

True or false?

Quite simply, bad media/burn- a very common case. when the player ends to an unreadable sector starts all over again.

Hi,
Why don`t you just buy a few DVD RW`s.
Recording is a little slower, but there is no waste of money (discs).
Ha?
