Dvd is too small to be recognized by players?

Hi,

I'm sending off a small project- 370 MB. Though when I test it in an average player its not recognized. Whats a safe sure way to deal with this? I thought of creating other elements on the disc that would be hidden but I dont want to create a snare for the client who will be using the short 3 min video in a power point presentation.

Any takers?

Thanks
Josh
 
If your client wants to use it in a power point presentation, why would they want it on a DVD? If they want to use it in a power point presentation, then give them a Quicktime file.
 
Dvd too small-

Dvd too small-

Quicktime files were my first choice but the mentioned client said the Quicktime video files looked terrible. Unfortunately I dont have access to a pc to do any trouble shooting. I thought a dvd would be an easy fix.

He'll play it on his laptop and via an LCD projector.

Any comments?

What did you use to create the Quicktime file? I know most Mac people use Compressor (which I don't use since I'm a PC guy).
 
I'm still here trying to formulate the appropriate question. For a 3 min video originating on HD 1080i how big would the Quicktime file be, and how big could it be and still run correctly on a laptop?

I was given HD 1080i footage to create a segment but feel it needs to be down converted to be used on a laptop and projector. Perhaps Im wrong.

You wouldn't use a lossless format. I would suggest h.264 if it's a pretty recent laptop. The h.264 decompressor is a bit processor intensive and hard for older laptops to deal with. For a 3 min video (depending on audio, etc) you'd be looking at around 100 megs, give or take. That's just a guesstimate though...
