Output file size doubled

i have created movie in premiere elements uses hi-def video, still images, narration , soundtrack. movie 1 hour long. once movie reached final length of 1 hour, output file size of movie burned blu-ray consistently around 11 gb. reasons don't understand, output file size has abruptly grown 26 gb. have not added significant footage or effects since reached 1 hour mark. i've made small tweaks audio balance , transitions.

 

the thing can think of might have caused growth went project settings , turned off "optimize stills." may have turned on "maximum bit depth." when clicked ok, premiere elements told me had re-render project, did so. since then, though, have re-enabled "optimize stills" , turned off "maximize bit depth." have re-rendered project again. file size still 26 gb.

 

i running pe on 3.06 ghz laptop 6 gb of ram. running windows 7, 64-bit.

 

has else run issue?

the thing can think of might have caused growth went project settings , turned off "optimize stills." may have turned on "maximum bit depth."

 

file size dependent on bit-rate , on duration. if have upped bit-rate, see increase in file size. project still fit on bd? if so, , want highest quality, bit-rate , bit-depth can stay higher. if space issue, can drop these down bit.

 

something else think , has duration changed. can caused "orphans," out beyond intend timeline end. article give tips. easy check.

 

good luck,
