dvd interactive problem

[natty]

Hi I bought a dvd Interactive game which I downloaded from the net as a .img file I burnt as a image file in nero but when I play it on my home dvd player it gets to where u select single palyer etc then dvd just stops. it seems to play on pc, also I used a duel layer dvd as game is 7.91gb which way should I have burnt this to make it play on my dvd player

Does your player at all support dual layer recordable disks?
What brand did you use? Verbatim is reported as the only reliable dual layer disks around.
ImgBurn is a better option for burning DVD images to disk.

well here is my dvd player its a bit old so maybe thats reason why

and the duel layer dvd`s I used are RiDisc

www.ridisc.com

do you think its worth trying imgburn to try out another. trouble is these duel layer discs are not cheap

[mats.hogberg]

No idea, actually. DL disks are expensive, yes. If I was you, I'd bite the bullet, and try to shrink this DVD down to DVD-5 size if possible. I managed to do so with my "Who wants to be a millionaire?" disk.

what do i use to shrink down to dvd-5 size this must be 4.31gb yeah on a single layer dvd-r I have dvd shrink but i dont think it will shrink this 7.91gb to a single dvd at 4.31gb or is there anything what will

when i tried to do it just now dvd shrink gave me an error saying out of memory not enough storage is available

[mats.hogberg]

I used DVDShrink. That error message seems like some hardware trouble, like low on HDD/RAM?

I have 768mb of ram and my 3 hard drives free space left is 44gb 30gb and 74gb space free so i cannot see whats wrong I have mounted the img file and in dvdshrink I go to open disc which is the mounted image it starts to analyse but dont get to 2% then pops up with that error is there anymore good programs like dvdshrink

[mats.hogberg]

Try ripit4me - may be some kind of copy protection, even if that seems odd for a disk delivered as an img file...

I am also giving dvd decrypter a go so what would you reccomend to burn this when done

[mats.hogberg]

DVDDecrypter just creates a 1:1 copy, so wont do you much good, but for burning, DVDDecrypter is fine too, only bettered by imgburn (by the same author as DVDDecrypter, but still developed/maintained)

ok will give imgburn a go pity there wasnt dvd-rw duel layer dvd`s about to test this on instead of wasting duel layer dvd+r DL
