Burning a large file with DVD Decryptor

Hey guys,

I have a whole season of a TV Show i converted to DVD on my computer (a total of about 8 GB). I want to burn this on two 4.7 GB DVD discs. Now, all of the episodes are all in one ISO file.

With DVD Decryptor, will it burn half of the file onto one DVD, then will it ask me to insert another disc? Or will i have to devide it into 2 ISOs then burn them seperatley?

-Thanks, Cody.

 

Im not sure about that would use shrink or in DVDDecrypter select main movie file only and then burn them to save space if the file is too big use Shrink. after Decrypting.

 

Try opening the file with Shrink and then use Start and End frames to re-author it and burn with Decrypter. Here is a guide.

Well, Since i have the episodes in a Non-ISO format, i could just put half the files in one ISO then half in the other.

I doubt shrink DVD would get an 8 GB file on a 4.7 GB disc anyway.

 

Yes it will if you loose the menu the subtiles and all the othe unneeded audio and compress to about 55% you should get there. Just go to reauthor mode and choose custom ratio and uncheck what you don't need and move the slide meter untill it fits.

 

You can do an episode disk with Shrink by just adding the episodes. Here is a guide.

Or you can use Nero Vision Express to add your episodes and then make a menu. Here is a guide

Or you can Shrink to a single layer but as stated you would have to really compress.

 

Well, looks like DVD shrink is easy enough to use. Now, when using Shrink, what format should my episodes be when i input it to Shrink - The DVD format or the AVI format? I used WinAVI to convert the AVIs to DVD.

 

DVD format.

 

So, you guys are saying i can fit the whole season on one DVD without reducing the video quality?

 

Yes you can fit the whole thing on one disk, however these are television shows which are not the best quality to begin with, and the compression would be large. If you are going to do it all on one disk use Shrink with deep analysis and quality enhancements. This will aid in a better quality.
