a dvd too big for dvd9??

[TCTheGreat]

guys, i'm trying to back up some of my dvds and as i know if they ar dvd9 i simply use blank dvd9 and DVDecrypter to "read ISO/write ISO" to copy it (my burner can write dvd9)

but my problem is right now, i have a disc that seems to be too big for dvd9, i don't know if it will fit, because i can't even tell if this disc is a dvd9 in the first place, it contains some what near the limit of a dvd9...... i'll copy and paste the disc info from DVDecrypter just in case....

Disc Information:

so will it fit in normal dvd9 with read ISO write ISO??? or what do i need to do, i don't really want to compress it..... btw, i'm wondering does the track path effect the way i write it?? at all?? or can i just ignore it?

Sounds like it'll fit. You gotta remember 1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes.

o...... because it reads it has 8,338,904 KB in it in file mode of DVDecrypter.... and i checked with DVDshrink, it saids it'll need compression 99.7% even if i choose output as DVD9, and not 100%, so that kinda worried me.......

so it will fit????

even though your burner can write to dvd9, do you actually have the dual layer media to write to?

DVDShrink use a safety zone when shrinking datas.

DVD5 are 4489MB but by default DVDShrink use 4464 MB.

if i'm sure it will fit then i'll go buy it this afternoon......

[TCTheGreat]

no wonder..... so it will fit if i use DVDecrypter?

like you stated above, read ISO write ISO
