DVD2one project size....

    I ripped a dvd using DVD Decypter and then used DVD2one 1.2 to compress the project to 4.36GB.... I used 4.36GB and even 4GB and the project still turns out to be 4.45GB which Nero tells me i can't burn coz it won't fit on a single DVD+RW (Memorex DVD+RW).... anyone know why DVD2one won't compress to the size i select ???????? When i put 3GB the total project turned out to be 3.8 GB so i managed to burn that one.... don't understand why the other settings fail though.....

    (i know that previous versions of DVD2one used to have this bug but has anyone had this with 1.2 so far ???)

    I've had no problems with that. Try using the free 30 day trial of Record Mow Max, avaialable here:

    Click UserGuides >> Record Now Max

    See if you get the same problems. If you get the same problems when burning. If you do, it may be that its an RW disc. I havent used one yet. I will be soon though.

    If you set 4472mb in DVD2One [which is the pre-set output filesize] then the project size should come out exactly 4.36Gb
    I've used the
    DVD Decrypter
    DVD2One
    Nero
    ..method for a long time & haven't encountered this problem since a well early version of DVD2One

    I am confident it is not a Nero problem !: )

    Really weird....i used decypter, DVD2ONE and Nero and i can't get the project onto 1 DVD+RW .... set the size to default as you recommended and the project still comes out as 4.45GB on my HDD (which Nero can't burn on a single DVD) ........ driving me crazy......

    I am really surprised at this...

    All I could suggest now is that you try at reduced size , ie; 4272mb

    P.S. Have you got a multi or dual-format burner at all , thus giving you the option to burn on -RW ?

    ...but the problem already arrises on the HDD ... so it's not really so much a burning problem as a compression problem....even when i put the project size as low as 3GB is still get a total project size afterwards of +/- 3.6GB ....as i said: driving my crazy coz it ain't logic at all....

    Are you getting the problem only with DVD2One? try a different compression tool, such as DVD Shrink. If you dont have it or need the user guide you can find it on the site i mentioned earlier. Go to User Guides >> DVD Shrink.

    What O/S are you running? I've seen this before with Win98/ME. Or if running 2K or XP if your hard drive is formatted using FAT32 instead of NTFS.

    Yeah, my friend had a problem with this with his Fat32 HDD format. New HDD and NTFS and it was sorted. It had something to do with the way file sizes were allocated and counted using FAT32 i believe.

    I run Win2k and my disks are NTFS ..... as i said: can't figure out what's happening....

    as long as you don't use iso mode the fat32 problem don't exist as in file mode the files are split into 1gig files.
