I am using dvdshrink to try and fit 3 movies onto 1 dvd but it will only let me do 2 is there a program which can shrink the movies more I have heard of one but cannot remember the name of it now

You might try dvd rebuilder.

why would you want such bad quality?

[natty]

slimpickins so you saying then if I place 3 movies on 1 DVD the quality will be bad then yeah

Perhaps DVD RB Pro using the half D1 settings, assuming only 90 minutes per movie.

Otherwise you are down to VCD quality.

Personally, even 2 90 minute movies is pushing the bounds of DVD quality decency.

ok thanks all i will just leave it to 2 movies on 1 dvd only reason why I wanted 3 was because the 3 movies I have are all to do with the 1 movie this is why I wanted to join them to 1 dvd

There was someone here who put together an edited version of the Back to the Future trilogy. I think the original target may have been a 4.38GB disc. You could always use a DL disc instead, if you want to keep the three together ad preserve quality.

IIRC there was a guide on here and all to do with that particular project. It involved seamlessly joining the three parts at the points where they overlapped, so that it appeared as though it was one long feature film.


As for the OP, the running times of the 3 features, and the target disc (single layer or dual layer) are crucial bits of information here. With what you've provided so far, I don't think DVDShrink is the best tool for this.

Provide the info I requested and we'll all be able to give much better advice.

jimmalenko what info do you request as you havnt said. all I can tell you is that it was 3 x .avi movies I converted to vobs all the 3 movies carry on from each other IE: making 1 whole movie

Load the 3 AVIs into GSpot and follow https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=271697 to upload them here. Things such as the frame sizes, audio and video bitrates used and also compression used in the AVIs is crucial.
