At which step are you getting the error?

What OS are you using?

Are you just trying to copy The Tuxedo to a DVD or have you ripped it and ran it through IC7 or DVD2One or DVDShrink and then tried to burn it?

It almost sounds like you are trying to copy a DVD to a CD or at least your DVD burner thinks so...

That link you are following seems a bit involved. Why not try DVDShrink and it is free???

If I am understanding you correctly, you are taking a DVD-9, ripping it and then trying to burn that out to a DVD+R?

If this is the case it will never work. DVD-9 are usually 7+ GB and a DVD+R is a DVD-5 which only holds 4.37 GB.

You have to run the ripped movie through one of the DVD backup utilities like DVD2One, DVDShrink, Instant Copy 7, DVD95copy, or one of the many other ones out there. This will produce a backup that will fit on the DVD+R...

Read the Guides on this site about backing up DVD-9 to DVDr.

Try RecordNow Max.
Here is a link to the RecordNow Max site, where you can download a 30-day fully functional version of recordNow Max 4.5.

If you have your DVD-5 all ready to go and in a VIDEO_TS file, then use Data to burn it, or if you have a disk image of the DVD, then use Image to burn...
