Well, Roxio will very obligingly span it (it needed 3 standard DVDs) but
then you apparently need the same program at the other end to play it back.
I could go back and recapture it into Act 1 and Act 2 (the show is
Brigadoon) but I suspect Act 1 will still be too long. Would other people
with DVD players more than a year or two old be able to play a double layer
DVD?

I have a program called HT Video Editor that I'm trying, as I type this, to
use for this project. It says it will burn the entire project in DVD format
using 1143 MB. It works very slowly so I may need to go to bed and see
tomorrow morning if it really did what I need.

Thanks for the suggestion. If all else fails, I'll go back and recapture it
in two smaller files, even if I have to break Act I.

Karl
