I have downloaded a movie in my computer but its size is bigger than the size of my cd in which I want to burn it in. I have heard that DVD shrink and DVD decrypter might be able help so I downloaded them both but not sure if it can lend a hand.
Therefore, can anyone tell me if I would be able to shrink the size of the movie on my computer in order to fit in the cd using this program or not? If yes, can you please tell me how to? I would appreciate useful replies.

There are several ways to shrink the DVD, but it would be difficult to shrink it to fit on a CD. Now you can encode it to a format like xvid/divx and then you could easily fit on to a CD. Now you won't have the menus, but you could have the film and subtitles. For good guides on DVD backup, check out Doom9

I use DVD Shrink as well, though I use it to store my DVD's on my laptop so I don't have to carry round DVD's everywhere! It will allow you to compress the file down as small as you want it but I think it always stays in a DVD format. The programme stores the DVD file(s) on your hard drive so you can burn them onto disc later. Open up CD burning software afterwards (Nero, Sonic etc...) then select VCD and browse for the file, the CD burning software should then do the rest.

No, DVD shrink and DVD Decoder will shrink a movie down so it will fit on a writable DVD... it has nothing to do with CD's.
Import it into Windows Movie Maker, then export it as a WMV file.... that should shrink it enough.

DVD shrink will allow you to choose the filesize you want to shrink it to, even onto a CD.
I did this with my personal home movies, so I could send them to relatives without dvd players that will read writable dvds.
Here's a tutorial, although you must know that if you are copying commercial DVDs, you are breaking US copyright laws.

Take my Suggestion use Total video convertor and convert your movie in a flv (flash live video) format take a example of online videos then your file size will be decreses and fit in your cd or dvd or whatever you say
But for playing flv files you need an flv player you can download it from this site:-
www.keepvid.com (for flv player)
and for total video convertor use this link
