Hi I have bought DVDOneX specially because it had the great feature to compress any dvd to fit on DVD-R first and if not to let the user decide of an output size. But this does not work ! My movie "The Life of David Gale" cannot be compress at less than 4.56Gb. And this does not fit on a DVD-R ! I don' t want to split the movie in two because of a 100mb over !!! what is the solution, how can i compress it ? the original VIDEO_TS folder is 5.6Gb. Finally can someone tell me why I can not put 4.5Gb of data on a 4.7dvd-r, don' t understand that ! thanks
Numerous programs will out there will help you. One of the best is DVDShrink v3.0 beta 5. It will allow you to compress a DVD-9 DVD down to a DVD-5 DVD-/+R without loss of quality. For best quality in DVDShrink, use "Deep Analysis" If that doesn't work, try CloneDVD. Oh yea, DVDShrink is FREE http://www.dvdshrink.org/
If after using dvd2one the and size is too big i send it through dvd2one again and it will fit on a dvd-r.
Blank media is only 4.37Gb and not 4.7 (it's to do with bits & bytes) [As stated above , run files through DVD2One again & all should be well]
sorry I missed the reply button for a new thread... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/58563
I am using DVD2oneX and what I do to get the files down to the right size is to reset the output size to 4465mb. Hope this helps out.
