I have a movie that I need to burn. I can only burn 150 minutes, which is like 2 and a half hours, my movie is closer to 3 hours. I don't know if it is the disc or the program that is causing the problem. Any suggestions?
There are two solutions to this problem: 1) Buy a double-layer DVD, which holds double what a normal DVD does. 2) Compress the DVD to make it fit by DVD Rebuilder, DVD Shrink, etc.
The file size isn't the problem, so i don't think compressing the file would work. The time is the problem. Will a double layer DVD let me put a longer movie on it?
a transcoder like dvd shrink DVD Rebuilder ,Clonedvd 2 ,nero recode 2 etc will compress the file so it will burn to a single layer dvd-5 blank disc which is 4.7 gig OR you can use a dual layer dvd-9 8.5 gig blank and not compress it cost dvd-5 single layer blank is about 23 cents dvd-9 dual layer blank is about 1.75 each its your choice the movie will fit on either one dvd-5(with compression) dvd-9 (no compression) use this thread for the most up to date methods to backup your DVDs http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/622748
