Avi File Is About 6gb(2hours Movie) How Do I Get It To Fit Into The 4.7 Dvd-r
 

:bangh: IM TOTALLY NEW TO THIS SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME IF THIS HS BEEN POSTED PRIOR. I DOWNLOADED A AVI VDEO FILE(MOVIE). iM TRYING TO BURN IT TO A DVD 4.7 GB. THE AVI FILE IS ABOUT 6GB(2HOURS MOVIE) HOW DO I GET IT TO FIT INTO THE 4.7 DVD-R ONE SIDED. I HAVE NERO. I HAVE BURNED OTHER AVI FILES BUT WERE SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT.

When you add the file to Nero there should be a screen that pops up that ash if you want to reduce the size to fit the media.

You won't get a 6GB file onto a 4.7 GB DVD. You'll have to split the file and burn it onto two DVDs.
But I'm curious,......which movie turns out to be 6GB??:eek:
Don't post the name here, PM me instead.
Besides, if you got the 6GB after converting it with "Super-High-Best" quality then of course it can be that the file size turns out to be that huge.....

Edit:
@Grandpa,......wow, I didn't know that......well, might be because I never had such a problem yet.....

There are allot

Please Reply
 

i DID CHECK YES ON NERO BUT AFTER IT WENT THROUGH THE ANSWER WAS THAT IT WAS TOO BIG TO RESIZE AFTER ALL. HOW DO I SPLIT INTO TWO? DOES IT DO IT AUTOMATICALLY(STOP AND LET ME INSERT ANOTHER dvd?) oH YEA i ALSO WANTED TO ASK HOW DO I GET MY MOVIE TO BURN SO IT FITS A NORMAL SCREEN INSTEAD OF WIDESCREEN. BY THE WAY YOU GUYS ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL

I reckon you reconvert the file using the Super converter (free to download from here):

This converter offers also the feature to resize.....

To change the aspect ratio go to the bottom of the Nero page and select more then video options.

I now have the super converter but dont know how to use.
 

I got an AVI file that needs to be cpmressed to fit a dvd-so that it plays on regular dvd I also need to go from widescreen to regular. HELP!!!!

Change the Aspect ratio as sugested above.

which aspect ratio do i use
 

ok i changed the aspect ratio tp 16:9 is this correct. Also whern i tried burning nero said i could only save it to image recorder becuase it was too big. How do i split into 2 dvd?
