I'm going nuts here. I have a large project I have finished. The "get info" says it's 26gb. And that's Part one. (I have 7 gb left on a 150g hard drive at this point). I've burned it to a dvd once. I just saved it as a disk image, but apparently that wasn't worth doing as I can't do anything with that except watch it on the computer. I tried copying the .img to a dvd then burning it. It burned it but it's useless (except to watch on the computer).

How can I archive this project to a DVD? How do I save all the assets off the hard drive if they are 26 gig? It's starting to look like the only thing I can do is burn a dvd and then make copies of that each time (and doing that, the encoding takes about three hours).

So, what can I do to get this project off the hard drive, but save everything? At this point, I'm not even concerned about ever editing it again. I just want my hard drive back.
 
What are your project files? You'll need to cut that project in about 5 GB chunks to get it on a DVD. If you want to make a playable DVD, it needs to burned a special way, Toast can do that.
 
I ended up purchasing a 160gb external hard drive. I guess I'll just archive the project to that, then delete on the internal hard drive.

I have a project I created of a live play for the playwright. It has been created in two acts (though I do have a double layer dvd burner now). THe problem is saving the huge project files, not burning the dvd.
