DVD Burning with Nero

[dava]

Tryin to use DVD2One to fit Back In The US onto one DVD-R. Got the file down to 4.3 Gigs but when I try to burn with Nero its telling me the file is to big. Using Datawrite 4.7Gb discs

[housepig]

what version of Nero, what type of disc are you burning (data, dvd-video, UDF 1.02, etc) and what steps are you taking to do it?

[rrobinson256]

Due to the confusing way that disc sizes are advertised, a "4.7"GB disc can store 4.3GB of data.
You're probably right on the DVD size limit cusp at 4.3GB. Try DVDShrink with the original source, it's end file size usually ends up slightly under the 4.3GB limit.

I had the same problem with the default setting in DVD2one and burning with recordnow. Change the file size to 4450 in dvd2one and it should work

Hey,

I used to use Nero for everything...

It was a hassle and just gave me discs that were compliant on some standalones and not others (where they should be).

Just get the newest demo of CopyToDVD.

Great little program. The demo is full feature except for a little popup that reminds you to buy the prog.

Just my $.02

a 4.7 GB DVD actually holds 4.36 GB. I use DVD2One with a cap size of 4.472 GB. WOrks all the time.

max i can put on one is 4487 MB...and if you add in overhead..it amounts to a little under 4489 MB...which is 4.38 GB
