    Hi,
    i have a nice wedding movie put together for a friend. Its came out well and I am happy wiht the quality. When I place this 1gig file into Sony Vegas DVD architect, it tells me the out going DVD is going to be about7gig. I have a double sided burner, and some 9gig DVD's , but i am wondering where is it going with the 8 more GIG, are there other housekeeping files loaded as well that increase this so much, or is it just the fact its expanding for the DVD player to play it? Just wondering..

    The format that is uses is not compressed, your 1Gb file is compressed.

    not being a pedant or anything, but mpeg2 (dvd) is compressed. It's just that wmv's are based on a different codec and are more highly compressed
