dvd software alows me 2 write the dvd info but when trying to burn on dvd it says not enough space on disk?

Question

i have used the dvd burning programs alcohol 120% ,dvd decrypter. and nero they all say i dont have enough space on my 4.7gb dvd-r I belive the movies i am trying to burn is 2 hours long, The programs allows me to save the image on my hard drive but will not allow me to burn the image on disk it always sez not enough disk space. This makes no sense to me , am i supposed to compress it someway? or format my dvd-r if so how can i make it fit? any suggestions?

Answer 1

Have a look at the size of the file on your Hard drive - if it is bigger than 4.4 Gb (forget the 4.7 bit - it's another long answer) it will not fit on your DVD.

You will have to compress it somehow - although you should be able to fit two hours on a standard DVD quite easily at an acceptable quality by lowering the 'Bit Rate' at the disc burning stage

The fact that you can save the file on your hard drive is irrelevant - your hard drive is what size - 100GB ? 120 GB ?? so there is a lot of free space certainly it is a lot lot bigger than the 4.4 GB space on a standard DVD.

Answer 2

Yes, I had used WDM too, it's unreliable and slow, it only supports some special video formats, and have video resize problem on my computer, i had tried many freeware, but can't found out a better one, at last I choose an inexpensive good software RZ DVD Creator which can do this well, you need to try, it can convert any movies to standard video DVD and burn to any dvd disc(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc), and the burned video dvd can be played well on DVD playe, it provide more functions, faster speed and better qualtiy than WDM, and it supports multi single conversion thread, if you have stronger computer, you can add more conversion thread in option dialog to enhance speed when convert multiple movies onto one standard video DVD. You can yahoo or google search RZ DVD Creator and download it, easy to use, hope it can help you.

Answer 3

You either need to compress it using something like DvdShrink or you can use a dual layer disk which will hold all of your dvd copy without compressing. Dual layer disks are more expensive than the usual single layer disks.

Answer 4

dvd decrypter only rips to about 7 gig (i think) so this will not fit on a dvd via nero burning or alcohol 120% what you need to do is rip with this one

then burn with nero, or keep the one you have and convert to nero digital then back to dvd, then it should fit

Answer 5

A 2-hour movie is around 7 gb. You need to compress it. I don't know what system you're using so can make no recommendations as to what software to get, but you can google it for lots of ideas.
