I`m using DVD Shrink for a movie-selected "Main Movie"-backup but a message says (see attached)the current DVD size is too big. The size is 4555mb.
Could you tell me what to do in DVD Shrink to make it fit for burning please?

Have you selected 'Automatic' under 'Compression Settings' in the right hand pane - it defaults to 4464MB.
Also in the main menu, 'Edit' > 'Preferences' you can set a 'Custom' compression (4300 is conservative) and select that instead of 'DVD5'.
Then you would select 'Custom' in the right hand pane.

Click on the 'Compression Settings' tab on the right pane, then change 'Automatic' to 'Custom'.

Using custom setting allows you to get more data on the dvd5 without using compression & without overburn,my setting is i think 4480-4485,you should also use the trim front & end frames to cut down on file size,it normally trims 300-400mb off
