===================================
Of course you cannot burn a 28 GB file onto
a 4.7 GB DVD blank. However....when burning
a Video DVD with DVD authoring software...
the duration of the project is the determining
factor...not the memory size of the source files.

For high quality video on a DVD you can figure
One Hour on a single layer and Two Hours on
a Dual Layer DVD.
