ImgTool Files Too Large

[opieandy]

I ripped a DVD to my PC using DVD Shrink, which created VOB, IFO, and BUP files, less than 4 GB total.

I used ImgTool, as recommended here, to create an ISO file from those files. However, the ISO file it created is around 7 GB, too large for a DVD. Any idea why this happened? Or how to fix it?

Thanks,

Chris

Why create a ISO of the DVD? Unless you plan to make multiple copies? Just use ImgBurn in the 'Build' mode and burn the VIDEO_TS folder to DVD disc. And I don't know what ImgTool did.

You must have included extra files, or created the ISO from the originals and not the Shrunk version.

Confirm this by mountinging the ISO in DaemonTools

From the research I've done on this site and other sites, I read that I had to convert the VOB files to ISO before burning. I'm glad to know that's not the case. I'm trying your recommendation now. Thanks.

That was a 'recommended' way to do it, but with ImgBurn you get the same results if you use a ISO or the 'Build' mode. And it's a lot simpler. ImgTool hasn't been updated in some time, but ImgBurn is kept updated.
