can't burn back up dvd's, help im toasted!

[larrye]

hi proper newbie here

i have just dowloaded mac the ripper and toast, to back-up my DVD's. the film i wanted to back up is 7gb. i followed the instructions for the ripper which all went ok. then these instructions for toast. however when i put in my 4.7gb blank disk in and press burn this comes up:

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE ON THIS DISC: 2928656 SECTORS (5.59 GB) ARE NEEDED, 2298496 SECTORS (4.38 GB) ARE AVAILABLE

i thought toast was meant to compress it, it's really frustrating me and i desperate to sort it out, can anyone help?

thanks

Larry

p.s. i tried it on another dvd that was 4gb it worked fine

Which version of Toast did you download?

[larrye]

toast 7, free download

Please consult the guides on this site,
because you would have known that POPCORN, not TOAST, is the program that "cOMPRESsES" or "SHRINKS" dual layer dvd's down to SINGLE LAYER SIZE.
another program called DVD 2ONE is also a OSX aPPLication that does mPEG-2 compression on a mac the ripper extracted file

Toast 7 does shrinking now .. but where on earth is this "free" download?

limewire.....or could this be the reason it's not compressing?

Unless I'm misinformed, the software in question isn't usually distributed via LimeWire. No help with pirated software here at VideoHelp.
