I basically took different things from about three different DVDs, and I was trying to put it all on one DVD-R disc (4.7GB). But for some reason, I am getting the red bar on the top, and my compression settings are set to automatic. I even ran "ANALYSIS" but that didn't do anything. What's wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Try changing the target size to 4300. If you still see red, then there is not enough room on the disc. You'll have to use DL media or take some stuff off using re-author mode.
You will probably be okay with the change of target size as indicated by Locoeng and DakotaFan. This has always worked for me. If not, run it through shrink twice. It might effect the outcome, but you never know til you try.
