Imgburn says the file is too big to burn

[jasonco]

Hello,

 

I've searched the forum, found similar problems, but haven't found an answer to my problem. I just started using imgburn. Working to get 3 different projects burned to disc. First went fine. The next 2 I'm getting an error saying the file is too big for the disc. Windows explorer says the files are 8.05GB and 8.12GB but imgburn says they are larger than 8.5GB. I went out and bought some VerbatimDVD+R DL because that was recommended. My drive is a TSST TS-H653G.  Any ideas on why this is would be appreciated.

They're still too big to fit on the disc.

 

You'll have to make your source files smaller.

This is a movie. Windows explorer says they are under 8.5. Any idea why imgburn says they are bigger? Any advice on how to make smaller?

 

Thank you,

Jason

Maybe the Size On Disk value is too large?  For some weird reason, there are 2 different sizes returned by Windows Explorer.  Size On Disk is something that I think only shows up on Properties.  You might want to check the Properties of the movie file, if it's a movie file, or of the folder it's in in if it's a movie disc.  Therefore, Windows Explorer might not be returning the actual size.

 

 

And let's not get started on the size GB, GiB, MB, MiB, KB, KiB versus Bytes conflicting values of units of measurement.
