Re: VIDEO_TS file too big for 4.38GB DVD

Is there a way to get the folder to fit on the DVD? Do I need to shrink the folder size?

Any help would be great. Thanks!

since one of the VIDEO_TS folders is over the limit of a single layer DVD (DVD5), you'll need to burn it is a double layer disc (DVD9) to fit, just as someone said above.

It might help if you report the torrent and explain the issue briefly so the video mods can make a note on the torrent that it requires a dual-layer burner and media.


You can also shrink it, as was mentioned, but you'll lose quality... generally has all that nasty aliasing when you do that.
