    Minimum burn

    Does anyone know if there is a minimum time that can be burned to a dvd?

    I have a 11 second clip that doesn't seem to wantto go onto a dvd.

    Whilst I don't know if there is a minimum amount  that you can write to a DVD, and this may be controlled by the burner or burner software, I have experienced a problem myself with short segments.
    To overcome the problem I simply added enough "something" to the end of my short clip to make the movie longer.
    Try adding a title clip such as The End (or even a blank clip or smiley face) and stretching it out to extend the video on the timeline.
    If you have a menu at the start you can always put a menu return at the end of your clip if you want to.

    Thanks Mick.

    Will try adding something else to the time line and see what happens

    You've probably solved this by now, but I can confirm that one of my DVD players can't handle "short" DVDs - ISTR less that 10 minutes - burned by Studio. If you use Nero with files made by Studio, it uses a "compatibility mode" which burns a long lead out. They work on my player.
