I created an ISO image file with DVD-Shrink, at 100% compression, but it's still too large to fit on a single DVD-R. I imagine my options are to either find a way to shrink the ISO some more, or cut it in half and burn the movie to two DVD-Rs, and I don't know how to do either of them. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
when it says 100% compression, that actually means the output is compressed to 100% of the original (meaning no compression at all). You may have Shrink set to No Compression, or DVD9 compression. Set it to DVD5 compression or custom size set to about 4300-4360 MB.
You can also mount the image to a virtual drive (Alcohol120%, Nero, etc) and open it in Shrink so that you can compress it like you would a normal dvd.
When I said 100% compression, I meant I set Shrink to compress it as much as it could. Are you saying that I could mount it with DAEMON Tools, and run it through DVD Shrink AGAIN? Great Idea.
If I remember correctly, you don't need virtual drives to do this. In dvd shrink, click File, then Open Disc Image or something to that effect.
Definitely shouldn't be posting in DVD-R for advanced. Maybe Newbies ... but since we have a DVD Shrink forum, you should post DVD Shrink related questions in that forum. That would be correct!!
I'm curious, would this generally result in loss of picture quality? I burned the twice-compressed ISO to a dvd and the picture quality SEEMS fine, but it's a cartoon.
animated video can be compressed more without the viewer noticing video quality loss. If you had to use Shrink twice, it's probably a lot of compression. But if the first time it was 100% compression (which actually means no compression) then technically it was only compressed once.
