I used DVD decrypter to copy a movie but...

Hello.
Video help is the greatest. Every advice given to me works fine. Thanks, guys and gals.

Here is my newest puzzler.

I have DVD Decrypter and Imgburn.

I used DVD Drcrypter in the ISO "READ" mode to capture a DVD movie. I did this so I could put the movie on my harddrive in a WINrar file format then re open it and creative it again on ImgBurn.

Problem: When I use IMGburn or DVD Decrypter to try to re create the movie (burn it on to a blank DVD) an error message comes up that says that my blank DVD has 2.3 gig space and the WINrar movie file has 3.3 gig....there isn't enough space on the blank DD.

How do I fix this?

Thank you.

1. It isn't a winrar file, it is an ISO disc image. You may have WinRAR associated with ISO files, but don't confuse the two formats - they are very different.

2. Most commercial DVDs are dual layer, and therefore contain more information than can be stored on a single layer disc. When you make a disc image (ISO file) you are grabbing everything on the disc as it was written originally. If you aren't writing to a dual layer disc, it simply won't fit.

3. I suspect you are reading the wrong numbers. A single layer disc is 4.38 GB. A dual layer can hold over 8GB. Imgburn presents the data sizes in a number of different ways, and I suspect you have read the wrong ones. That said, it doesn't change the outcome. You have a 4.38 GB disc, and you are trying to put approx 6 - 6.5 GB onto it.

So what to do ?

DVD Shrink can open the ISO file (File -> Open Disc Image) and from there you can either just get rid of languages etc that you don't need, preserving menus, and then reduce the size of the rest to fit your disc, or re-author to movie only and see if it fits with out shrinking. Write the results to a new ISO file and burn with Imgburn.

You sure you have nothing written on disc?
Try DVDD or DVDFab HD Decrypter to rip to HDD,then use IMGBurn in build mode to burn...
