    Hi all. I ripped a DVD using DVD Shrink. The file size is 4.46gb.
    I currently do not have a dual layer dvd burner. Is there any other way for me to burn this without having to purchase a new burner?

    Thanks!!!

    No. Shrink again or remove some extras or cut it with dvd shrink.

    Thanks for your response Baldrick.

    I would like to keep everything in tact on the disc (including extras). Should I Shrink again with a custom ratio under compression setting?

    Burn what DVDShrink gave you with ImgBurn. ImgBurn will tell you if what you have will fit or not. You may be a victim of the "bits vs. bytes" thing that confuses so many people.

  5. It's close to fitting on a single layer disc so I would downlaod voblanker and blank 160 or so mb off it like you want to keep the extras but you can blank a trailer or two or in dvdshrink when copying it delete some audio like directors comments for example.

    Usually there are several language streams, each a few hundred MB. If you just keep the one(s) you need you can probably fit the video unaltered.

    You can also delete unneeded subtitles, though these are only a few MB each; but it simplifies playing the DVD.

    And often the "Extras" includes previews of other movies, FBI piracy harangues, these are pretty disposable.

    What hech54 said plus I'd like to point out that the original poster said only that he "ripped" the disc using DVD Shrink and based on that alone we have no way to know if he actually shrank it or not.

    xxxjojoxxx - You need to be aware that DVD Shrink cannot correctly rip all current DVDs. It was abandoned years ago when its author was hired by Nero. If you use it enough as a ripper you may eventually encounter problems.
