Title: DVD Shrink from hard drive?
Post by: JPT on February 12, 2004, 04:47:59 AM
I have a file on my hard drive too big to fit on a disk. Can i use this tool to shrink it? I can only see ways of shrinking it by putting the original source in a drive?

I cannot find any guides about this

Thanks

If you have all the DVD files in your hard disk then click the open IFO option and load VIDEO_TS.IFO.

DVD Shrink cannot open mpg or other files.

Thanks, so is there any other way of getting this large MPEG file to DVD using Nero and any other tools?

Maybe Nero can recode it to 4,38GB if you load it.

If not, you can author it with an authoring program, load it in DVD Shrink and  compress it.

Thanks again ! Do you know if TMPGenc stores temp files? I have created a couple of movies this way and have suddenly used up 8gb on my C drive. I have looked to see but am a bit mystified how in 1 day I can use up 8gb.

You\'re welcome!
Each movie uses about 4,3GB, so 2 movies take 8GB.
