 The video only lasts 9 mins 31 secs so it shouldn't have needed a file

 For comparison, a typical commercial DL DVD of a movie lasting under 2
 hours  will have under 8 GB. You were using a larger file size than
 needed by most of the high definition video formats! Also, on a DVD,
 the video is broken up into .VOB files(a special mpeg type of file)
 that are about 1 GB each. The other control and housekeeping file
 types on a DVD are much shorter. Older hard drives formatted in FAT
 will not work on programs for DVDs, because FAT does not even allow
 files of 1 GB or slightly larger as needed for DVDs.
