I was referring to a screener posted only as an AVI, which he was trying to encode. Since "Zachary Zipper" is currently playing at a theater near you, it is indeed too new to have had a commercial DVD release.

I agree; the only way I could approximate his problem was by changing the DVD capacity to a DVD-1, and I did warn him to check that Nero wasn't set on that. Maybe he thought DVD-1 meant "fit onto one DVD."

True, and I'm not complaining; someone who needs to d/l more than one DVD per day should look seriously into getting a life. But if your ISP has more draconian limits you may well decide to d/l the AVI file and invest a couple of hours at home transcoding and burning it to a DVD (assuming you need DVDs because you're not fortunate enough to have a laptop with a large HD that hooks up to the TV and stereo), rather than use up your precious bandwidth GBs.
