8.13gb AVCHD too large for 8.5gb DVD+R dl

[Ayreonaut]

I have the AVCHD of Harmy's Star Wars Despecialized.

Using imgburn, this 8.13gb BDMV is slightly larger than a 8.5gb DVD+R dl.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

This can be due to the physical media itself, some cheaper brands don't hold the full capacity, try a different brand.
Alternatively, you can rip the main movie with MakeMKV and watch it, or you can try to shrink your BDMV to DVD5 size.

Could he reduce the audio side?
Say 256k.
To tell the truth, however, I don't know how to tweak 5.1 though over a dozen editors here at FE will.

I know this thread is old, but it's worth noting that an "8.5gb" dvd+r dl has an actual capacity of about 8.0gb
All storage formats lie about their actual capacity and say in the fine print that they measure data differently than every operating system. (1000 based instead of 1024 based)
Interestingly, cd-r discs are honest with their claim of 650mb/700mb.

Does your player play it correct, with menu etc.??
