Will a 120 minute video fit on a 25gb BR disc at the default settings for MPEG 2 (25mbps)? It's been ages since I've had one this long and I can't remember!

Thanks in advance!

I think BD-R is, as a rule of thumb, fine for a 2 hour video (as opposed to dual-layered Blu-ray Discs).

What will you be rendering out of? Premiere/Media Encoder will give you an estimate of the final file size. Off the top of my head, I think a 90 minute doc I made a Blu-ray of was about 17GB. That was an H264 Blu-ray, which is a generation above MPEG-2, so twice as efficient with the encoding.

Thanks Gary. I rendered using 21 mbps setting and it was fine. Appreciate your assistance!
