I've hit some kind of bottleneck that I can't figure out. I use showBiz to author (came with the movie writer). I have a wmv file that's about 1.8GB - but when I bring it into the authoring process, it tells me I'm using >7GB of space - it won't fit on the disc.

I have a project created the exact same way a couple of months ago, that works fine, so there's obviously something wacky with the way I saved this file.

Do I have to resave the original file, or is there something obvious I'm mising?

If I do have to resave it, what settings am I looking for to ensure it doesn't blow up 4x again?
