avi to dvd problems

hey i want to convert a 1,400 MB video file to 1 DVD-R. i have used nero vision express but each time i do it a error comes up saying:

ERROR
Cause 58(disk_full)
description: there is not enough space on disk

I have no ideo why this message comes up even when i tell it to save it in hard drive and 4.7GB DVD-R disk. There is also one bizzare thing aswell, when the error comes up my space on my computer dramatically decreases from 39GB to 166MB ????????????????????????????

plz if any1 knows what the problem is or if there is another program plz plz plz tell me

Bye

 

Try the [Free] converting tool from here http://www.vso-software.fr/

 

will that make the files fit a dvd disc which can hold 4.7 gigs

 

try loading it to tmpgenc plus!

convert to mpeg2

then load to tmpgenc dvd author to make vobs and burn...

i would guess that 1.400meg would equate to about 5gig

also dvdr are cbout 4.36gig and not what it says on label! od 4.7gig

 

rotart u got anyother ideas cos 5gig isnt gonna fit on a 4.7 gig cd obviously

 

dvd shrink
nero recode

 

yo hursty wat u talkin about plz explain

 

hi

oh yes you must shrink to 4.36 the real size of a dvdr! use dvd shrink follow the guides in my sig below!

which guide to use?

 

you can use dvd shrink to compress movies onto a dvd disc.
rotary was refering to the guides left on his post
