DVD Space / Capacity Issues

[Al G]

I am trying to burn a copy of a movie but I get an error message -

 

There doesn't appear to be enough space on the disc to burn this image.

Image Size: 4,521,840 Sectors (8,831 MB)

Disc Size: 2,295,104 Sectors (4,482 MB)

Would you like to continue anyway? Yes or No

 

Here's the thread:

Can you not use a DL disk ?

Is there a way to compress the movie to fit on one DVD, or how do I split it into 2 DVD's? HELP?!

 

Just FYI, your image even exceeds the DVD-9 (aka dual layer disc) size, so the only way to burn it without re-authoring/modifying would be to use a Blu-ray media (since you have a Blu-ray drive in your system anyway). If you still want to go with the compression method, then you should try some re-authoring software, e.g. CloneDVD2. However, there is a plenty of similar apps available, google for them, see what fits your needs best.

Lighting King, I was under the impression that this is what these support forums were for - to ask questions of those more knowledgeable or experienced with either the software or technology. If your reply is simply to refer me to Google, I would highly recommend you reserve from answering any posts on this website. AH

Thanks eraz0r. I have CloneDVD2 and yes, I can burn it to one DVD, but when I play the movie on either a laptop or a DVD buyer it pauses throughout the entire movie. So far, when I had used Imgburn and burned it at 8X speed I was having great luck with how the movie played back. This was the 1st time I encountered the movie size being too big to fit on one DVD. Thanks - AG

No, they're not for helping people that are too lazy to search - especially when they're asking for help with something that's nothing to do with ImgBurn.

I don't get it. How were you able to burn almost a 9GB image onto a DVD? Was it with re-authoring or not?

Naughty LIGHTNING UK! How dare you post on your own forum about the program you OWN and maintain for FREE.

ALL Retail DVD's are pretty much DVD9 (dual layers)

 

you got 2 choices

 

#1- Use a DVD9 empty media and then burn your movie

 

#2- Use a DVD5 empty media and use DVDShrink to shrink your DVD9 into a DVD5 (single layer) then burn it

Ah, I don't think the first option is doable for him. Check the log:

The image won't fit into DVD9.

...Now that is some of the funniest shit I've read here in a while.

 

A complete asshole reads an answer from the Boss and chastises him for his answer...then two other users get into a discussion about what to do to answer the question correctly, when a simple link like this would help him to LEARN about what he wants to do.

Seems we've bveen getting more than our fair shares of fuckwits lately spinner.

Blu;

 

It probably because of that asshole selling ImgBurn as copythatgame and his lack of cleintelle that have more than an elementary school background.
