    I created an ISO image of about 4.46 GB from a 7.5 gb ifo, vob files using DVD shrink. When i tried to butn the ISO using DVD decryptor it keep saying that the file is too large to be put on my 4.7 GB blank DVD...

    Why do you think this is so? Can a 4.7 DVD really only fit 4.3 GB?

    Thanks!

    Set your target size to 4300 or 4400. Your final ISO should be somewhere around 4.30GB, which will fit on a single layer disc and will not burn too close to the edge.

    Yep a dvd5 - single layer dvd - can only hold 4.38 gigs - deceiving isn't it? So you need a bit more compression - may there are some audios you can remove.

    Ahh I see... Thanks guys.

    Which audios can I remove. In DVD Shrink I see: AC3 5.1-ch, AC3 2-ch, AC3 2-ch. THose in and of themselves are taking about 600 MB...

    In clone DVD I see more audios too. I see those and something about 6 channels?

    Just keep the AC3 5.1 channel in shrink - it's all you really need.
