How can I fit a 8.9 mb highlight film on a 4.7 dvd? or is there dvd's with more space? where do I buy them?

You can by dual layer DVDs, assuming you have Dual-Layer burner. They hold twice as much. Otherwise, use a burning utility that allows you to compress the data.

The easiest way is to use something like DVD Shrink which will rip and then compress Dual Layer (DVD-9, 8.6GB) discs to a Single Layer DVD. \n\nOtherwise the best quality way is to use DVD Decrypter and then DVD Rebuilder.

There are two applications available at your disposal.  If you want to backup the entire DVD (including menus, extras etc.), use an application called MacTheRipper.  If on the other hand, you just want to rip the main movie to a single MPEG-4 file, then Handbrake is the way to go.  Both applications are free and can be downloaded at their respective websites.\n\nMacTheRipper:\nhttp://www.mactheripper.org/\n\nHandbrake:\nhttp://handbrake.m0k.org/

Hi, It is a easy yet tricky process if your new to such conversion. Usually to get a DVD 4GB+ to fit on a CD (700MB), you would need some sort of encoding.\n\nThe only step that I know of that 99% of the professionals are using is to encode it by using XVID. XVID is a video encoding scheme. Inorder to understand it you need to read the links in the bottom. You can save 50% of the space using this scheme.\n\nThe next step is to encode the sound to a high quality yet low space usage. Professionals use AC3 codec. That is VBR bitrate.\n\nOkay once you use these both codecs you will have the quality down to 1CDR to 2CDR depending on how well you are making the sound.\n\nPlease take a look at the links in the bottom for detailed instructions setop by step on how to do it with free existing programs. It is simply by pressing go and the program will do it for you :)\n\nEnjoy

the ones u get from file sharing are not dvd and they are avi or divx or MPEG format but when u rip a dvd u will get all of the dvd which means around 4.3 GB and it is divided into 5 to six files most of them are 1024MB (VOB) so u need a dvd to avi converter to get the size u want which arround then 700 to 900 mb and that can be controlled withen the software u gonna use to do the convertion but remember u gonna loose alot of quality after convertion. anyway try this to do the convertion \n\nhttp://www.shspvr.com/howto/converting_mpeg_divx.html

You need to convert them - try http://www.ePodSupport.com .  Skip Step 2 and do not download DVD Shrink if you already have the files.

The standard 4.7 gig disc will work. When you rip the DVD and burn it some programs will compress the movie to fit on the 4.7 gig disc. You can use DVD Shrink 3.2 and it will do the job. Also I use DVD Decrypter to rip, then Roxio 7 to burn. Any Roxio version, 6, 7 or 8 will do the job. DVD Shrink will do it in one straight job, but you must have Nero installed to burn the movie.

First, movie files are big. Get a program called DVD-shrink\nThis program should allow you to put more than one file on a\nDVD, because, as I said, movie files are quite big, the\nprogram will compress them, It depends on how many files you want, the more files, the more compression, the less quality.

change the format to avi or someother format which will take less space. or zip it, but na it rele dosent work good for videos

You can get an adaptor (like a Dazzel) that attaches to a VCR or camcorder and to a USB port to pull the movie into a program like studio 9.  Be warned, however, that if it is a commercial tape you will get a poor quality movie plus, even under the best possible conditions, it will never equal the quality of a DVD.  I have converted some family tapes to DVD, they are watchable but the quality is not what we expect from a DVD.

You need a program that would change it into VCD (Video CD). Like Intervideo DVDCopy 4 would do it. But if it's bigger than the CD it would need to be put in 2 CD's. DVD-Shrink is a good program but it may cut out the ending of the movie. It has happened to me alot that's why now I'm putting it into DVD+R with CloneDVD 2.
