I'm trying to burn a 1.0 gigabyte file onto a dvd-r but it expands to 8 gigs! How can it go 8X bigger?!?

it does this because it is a compressed source
to burn to dvcd (i assume) you need an mpeg-1 file
yours is an avi file, which is an "mpeg-1 squashed"
when you try to burn, your burning software expands it to an mpeg-1 file, which in this case is 8GB.
the best option is to use tmpeg-enc to change it to an mpeg-1 and then to burn it how you are trying to now
That sucks because I did that and it'll only go to 3 gigs minimum. I don't want to waste precious DVD-Rs
you should convert the avi with a 'convert' tool to an .mpeg and then burn it as 'data'
Will it work on DVD players?
if its converted to an .mpg... yesQuote:

under "advanced settings" right click on "bitrate" and click unlock. then in the penultimate screen, change bitrate to whatever you like, watching the size change as you do itQuote:

Won't let me go under 3 gigs.
in that case select a different template - say an SVCD one. should work with no probs
