burning iso file smaller than 4.3 GB

[legoman44]

Hi all,

 

I have made family videos from my digital camcorder and burnt them onto a regular DVD. I believe they are in typical DVD format as they have chapters and a menu screen that is interactive and they play on a stand alone DVD player. I would like to transfer the DVD's (20 on them) to my Western Digital TV Live HUB media player and retain the full menu and interactive screens without loosing any quality of the existing DVD.

 

The issue is that many of my home made DVD's do not have a full 4.3 GB of video. Some may only have 2 to 3 GB of video. Is there a way of making a smaller iso file (or different format altogether) that only has the video files and retains full DVD functionality so it will play on the media hub? I may have only 50GB of video in total on the 20 discs but it would take 86 GB of space of full iso files at 4.3 GB a disk.

 

What i don't want is a bunch of folders with vob files that I would have to individually run on the media player.

 

Thanks

The ISO image will be the size of the files inside it, plus a bit more for the file system overhead. They aren't all 4.37GB regardless of what's actually in them - unless you've added tons of padding (zeros) for some reason.
