I've recorded 4 tv shows (each being an hour long) and extracted the commericals from them leaving about 43 min. for each episode. Each file is around 1.95gb in mpeg format. I would like to put all 4 on a standard 4.7g dvd. Is this possible? Do I need to convert the files to another format to make them smaller so they'll fit? I don't mind losing a little quality.
um...i think so, im 85% percent sure. You will have trouble burning MPEG files tho, you might as well go ahead and convert them to a DVD format and the use shrink.
the way i wud do it / the way i do it myself is convert the mpegs using VSO DivxToDVD i downloaded my version along time ago which was free i dont know if it costs now, i think it does. then use this guide http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/multiple_dvd_to_dvdr_dvd_shrink.cfm need any more help dont be afraid to ask =] chris
some versions do cost...I have a freeware one but i think it converts a lot slower: http://www.free-codecs.com/DivXToDVD_download.htm
If you have Nero, you can import all four files, add a DVD title page and let Nero shrink it to a single layer size.
