Help me! How to shrink a dvd?

Please help!! I am trying to burn a dvd that is a little over 2 hours. How do I use dvd shrink to shrink it down so I can burn to a regular 2 hour DVD????

 

hi

load the dvd to shrink and hit backup = done

 

I did that...and when I went to burn it told me the media was not not large enough to support file.

 

hi

if you are doing a full dvd of a big size in gig shrink has a big job of handleing the output size and basicaly getting it right, you can get over this in 3 ways

1, put the files back in that it compresses and compress it twice in effect!

2, Use deep analysis when first srinking!

3, or when first shrinking go into settings and back off the output size by changing to CUSTOM size! say to 4400

 

Thanks, i will give this a try.

 

hi

no probs chap pop back with your results to help others....

thx...

 

I just realized, you said full disk, but I am using reauthor plus I only pulled the movie itself to be burned...this is why I don't understand why I get "media not large enough!" The movie is 2 hrs and 11 min.

 

hi

the main movie can be most of the space taken! stil like 6/7 gig!

 

no, it still didn't work

I am trying to burn only the movie itself which is only 2hrs 11min. Under preferences I used Custom and 4400 and I tried to use DA but it wouldn't let me select it. I think I had done it earlier. What do you think is the problem? This is strange.

hi

afterdawn has been down for awhile with server trouble

 

Ok I understand. I was able to fix the problem...it wasn't my disk that was full, it was my hard drive. I had to delete some of the movies I had on my hard drive. Thanks for your help!!
