insufficient disc space for img burn but not for dvd shrink

[babimemp]

I am burning an ISO file to DVD.

 

img burn says not near enough disc space on my DVD R. I don't have this problem with DVD Shrink. What gives and how do I accommodate?

If my crystall ball is correct, you're probably trying to burn an ISO image intended to be burned on a dual-layer disc, which holds up to 8,547,991,552 bytes.

 

You can either use DVD Shrink to shrink that image to fit a common 4.7GB blank disc, or you could buy a Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore blank disc and burn that ISO image as it is

What is the size of your iso file. imgburn does not compress and shrink does.

If your file is bigger than 4.38 gb then it has to be compressed to that size or less for imgburn to work.
