The Fog of War DVD too big to burn?

    I've just decrypted The Fog of War DVD and have unsuccessfully attempted to burn it using Nero.
    However, it's file size is about 4000mb and it won't burn. Is this telling me that it's too big for a normal length DVD ( it's got loads of extras etc) or should I just select the main movie to download when decrypting it to reduce it's size?

    Any help would be great

    The file size must be bigger than 4000mb. Max size of a single layer dvd is 4.36 gig so depending how much over you are may be the problem. You can use DVD Shrink to compress that file or edit out the junk. Set Shrinks output size to 4300. That gives you some space left over before the outer edge of the blank disc. Good luck.

    Thanks for the advice. I now know how to select the main movie in decrypter edit mode. What's the difference between main movie and main movie+ifo? What does IFO mean?

    Used DVD shrink in the end so I'll know to look at file size next time.

    Top tip and thanks
