[galactica]

Hi
DvdBackup resulted in a 6.26 GB file that is perfect copy of the dvd. Question is, how does one then burn this! Its too large for my blank dvd-r.

Whats one to do?

Thanks

You can't burn it. DVDR's only have 4,700,000,000 bytes or 4.37 GB. You have to split it to 2 disks, or re-author and re-encode to a smaller size.

I was afraid of that. Dvdbackup is sooo fast. I get this file in about 15 to 20 min! What is the point of this program if you cant burn the files it creates.

Any suggestions as what program for dvd encoding!???
and then to burn???

there isn't a mac version of dvd2one, is there? DIVA and forty two both allow you to rip DVD's into lower bit-rate MPEG-2 files that will fit on one DVD

It's a 100% backup, so basically it's just copying, that's why it's so fast. If it was a DVD5, then it's a non issue. If it was a little bigger than 4.3 GB, you could edit out some audio tracks you don't need and it may fit. Your particular backup isn't going to fit on 1 DVDR unless you re-encode it (unless it has 6 AC5.1 and 3 DTS audio tracks!)

And yes, I know this is a MAC post. My answer was machine independent :P DVD2ONE is Wintel only, with little if any hope of a MAC version, much less a native OS X version.
