    Sectors Error While Burning

    I just tried burning three video clips (episodes) to a DVD5 using DVD Flick & ImgBurn v.2.5.4. The total playing time for the clips is about 1hr. 20mins. Flick ran it's steps OK then ImgBurn started. Some where around that point, an error message popped up saying (best I can recall) that there was not enough sectors available to burn the disc. It asked if I wanted to proceed anyway, so I clicked yes. After awhile, the disc was burned but would not finalize. ImgBurn hung so I had to force it to close using the Windows Task Manager. I then played the disc on my PC. The first two clips played OK but the third one got to 18 minutes (clip is 27 mins.) where it stopped & hung.

    Although I know my way around Flick, DVD burning, etc. I don't know anything about disc sectors. From what I'm seeing, it appears (to me anyway) that the space needed to burn the clips to the DVD was greater than what was available on the DVD disc.

    What went wrong here & how can I avoid repeating this on future burns? Do I need to shorten the video program time? If so, can you estimate how much?
    Best Regards, Richard
