 Shrink to fit DVDs Hello there, I've been reading through and searching here to get advice on burning video files to dvd. I've taken lots of it, bought Toast6, which blank discs my Apple will burn to (DVD-R), which my DVD player will play (also DVD-R).... but now I am again stuck.... Roxio tells me that the DVD-R is too small to fit!!! Is there anything else I need to do get these onto DVDs.. The video files I have are mainly movies, ca. 700 MB large, .avi's mainly, and the DVD-R's are TDK 1-8x 4.7GB single-sided. Please help!!! Its been days I've been trying.... All the best Amedeo  |

| Compressing file to fit on one 4.7GB DVD-R Hi there, I've had a good look through, and so far I have got Roxio Toast, ffmpegX, and 4.7GB DVD-R blank discs.... I'm trying to make DVDs (to play normally tv/dvd) from mainly .avi's, but also mpg's as well. I cant seem to find an answer to where I'm stuck.... Toast keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the DVD-R to fit the movie!!! Around I read that what I am trying to do is possible, but I cant seem to progress... Would appreciate any help out there.... From my searching I figure LOTR seems the person in the know.... Thanks Amedeo |

| Have a look at the image in the following link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...467#post127467 DVD2oneX does a good job. But that's really for working with extracted dvd's. (If you're talking about standalone avi files then if you have the appropriate Quicktime codecs you could edit them with iMovie.) Remember that using Toast 6 you can also edit out the intro & credits at the end if necessary. Select the track & press edit button. Select video & move 1st or last markers in to choose beginning & ending parts. It's not wise to recompress movies that have already been compressed b/c each time it loses more quality. Of course to burn dvd's to play on a set-top player you don't choose data format. Dvd movies need to be in UDF format. For copying dvd's choose udf but for creating movie dvd use video format.

| Thanks LOTR, I was hoping you would be there, as from my reading, you look to be the knowledgeable one.... I am a little confused... So I drag the .avi into the toast video tab, click the DVD-Video button in the disc options drawer, Standard video quality, put the disk in, click burn, and this is the reply: "Not enough free space on this disc, 4.9 needed, 4.4 available" I've cropped out the titles and credits, and still too big!! The .avi is 701.2MB... Do you know a way to make the fit to 1 DVD-R, not only for this file, but for the future also?? Thanks for your help Amedeo |

| Give us some more details about how you're setting it up with Toast. Open the advanced drawer to the left of Toast (the blue & white button to the top left) & tell us what you have it set to including which options? There's 2 quality options, one standard & one high. And which ones you have ticked. Are you sure it's a dvd-r & not a cd you're putting in. And you clicked dvd to the bottom far right on the Toast window .. sorry but I need to ask the basics. lol   |

| I want to trial some things out so I won't have an answer for you today. It'll take a while. I'm guessing the movie is over 2 hrs. Can you open it in Quicktime & open info about it (apple & i keys) & tell us the length of the video & the dimensions & the frame rate? |

| No probs... Format: Generic MPEG-4, 512x272, Millions MPEG Layer-3 Audio, Stereo, 48000 hz Movie FPS: 23.98 Data Size: 691.9 MB Data Rate: 118.9 K bytes/sec Duration: 01:41:19:28 Normal Size: 512x272 pixels Current Size: 512x272 pixels FYI I also read in a forum, that someone is able to put around a 2 hour movie onto a single 4.7 DVD-r using Toast6 and ffmpegX... So I got that as well, but was lost in it.... Here is the link by the way: http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ Thanks for the help |

| Likewise I installed ffmpegx last year but had problems getting it working properly. It's supposed to be very good. I used to working with full quality videos using dvd studio pro so I'm relatively new at the concept of burning highly compressed videos such as mpeg4, etc. that one gets from over the net. I've fitted up around 3 hrs max on a dvd so far using dvd sp. Not brave enough to fit more on.
