    The nominal running time for a DVD-5 is two hours of DVD movies (three would probably be ok).
    12GB sounds like a lot of running time for one disk.

    Load the output files into DVD Shrink ('Open Files') and click 'Backup'.
    Have it output the files to a new folder (or an iso image file) and play them back to see if the quality is ok before burning.
    You can use ImgBurn to burn the file folder (or iso) to disk.

    hi ok i burned the 12gb file to disc and it plays but not the prpoer way it has the top gear startup just where it says top gear and it flashes with a green screen looks like its corryupted not sure though so i opened the iso up that i made which came as 3.14gb and it says not bootable on magic iso so i changed to bootable and clicked save but it stays at 49% doesnt move i belive the reason is becuase it says not bootable correct
