Problem with saved video files.

[vinny1971]

Hi I hope you can help.

I have just downloaded from the web the complete first series of Lost. All the video files play perfect on my computer.

Each file is between 350MBs and 42 minutes. What I want to do is put 3 episodes on a 120min DVD Disc (4.7GB) but of course they are too big.

So then I decided to use DVD Shrink to compress them slightly, but every time I try and load a file a pop-up gives the following.

DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue this operation.
Invalid IFO filename
The reason: is unknown.

When the files have finished downloading on to my computer they are avi format (hope that makes sense)

So how can I compress these and what are the best tips you can give me on transferring them to DVD Disc.

Thanks for your help.

DVD Shrink only works with DVD files, not AVIs.

And buy the DVD.

It's available on DVD. You can buy it from amazon.com and they'll ship it to the UK. It will play back as PAL60 and you can watch it on tv.

Downloading tv shows and making DVDs of them looks like shit. The XVID files are usually full of noise, and the videos were improperly cropped (removing overscan), resulting in the loss of picture and size distortion on tv.

Not to mention this is against forum rules.
