File To Big

[USiT]

Hello

For some days ago i started to get a error wene i was going to burn w/ Nero 6. It says that the file is to big to fit on dvd. Wene i check the size of the movie in Explorer it says its 4,3gig but nero says that its bigger. How can i fix this?

Im using SmartRipper for ripping and DVDShrink for shrinking. I havnt search for the answer in this forum yet because the search part didnt seems to work w/ i wrote this.

Please help me

Not too familiar with DVDShrink, but there must be a setting to compress the file to a certain size. Try setting that value to less than 4480Mb (to give yourself a little bit of room). This is assuming you are indeed using a 4.7GB (4.3GB) DVD.
Or, try DVD2one. Maybe it'll shrink the movie a bit more for you.

Best of Luck,

It likely has sumthin to do with the fact that yer ripping and shrinking with the 2 different programs. Try using DVD Shrink to do both, and make sure you have the output set to dvdr size.

lol, this happened to me too. Are you using dvd+r media? If you're using +r, you're going to have to reduce the disk size in dvdshrink by about 5mb (do 10 just to be safe). I shrunk a movie according to the default dvdshrink size..when burned on a dvd-r it fit, but on a dvd+r, did not.

Welcome to the forums, USiT.

If Kingnog's case doesn't apply to you, what release of Nero 6 are you using?
Have you tried with v5.5 or another burning software?
