    hey, i dont no if there is another forum about this cause there is so many, so sorry if am repeating someones question.

    i have Alcohol 120% and i made an image of a dvd onto my computer, but the size of the image is 6.5 GB, is there any software out there that can shrink the size of it down without losing any of the quality, so then i can burn it onto a normal 4GB Disc?? or if there is no software like that could someone please tell me if there is a DVD disc that could take that much???

    Your help would be really appreciated

    thanx

    Any time you compress a dual layer dvd to fit a single layer blank you will loose some quality. DVD Shrink will do exactly what you want and can be used to edit out trailers and other junk to help keep the compression lower and quality higher. Thats what it was designed to do. Anything around 70% or higher will give you good results as long as you use good quality blank media and try not to burn faster than 4x.

    There are dual layer blank media at about $5.00 each but you need a dual layer burner to use them. No compression is necessary with them.
