Burning dvds - Nero I finally found my nero software and was in process of burning a dvd - for the simple purpose of testing it out as I have never done it before. It got to the stage where it told me to insert blank dvd-r or rw disk. Which I did. It declined saying that the disk did not have enough room to do the job. They are 4.7G or 120 minute disks and the movie was only an hour and a half. Is there something I am missing here?

Yeh it's not the LENGTH of the movie that matters.......right clik the movie file and then left clik properties.....if it's bigger than 4.5gb then it's too big adn you'll have to split it......

Are u sure it's dvd burner? Have u got more than 1 drive (with Nero you have to tell it which drive to use and it could still be that you've told it to use a CD and not a DVD)

I've definitely clicked the right button soodanim. It comes up with dvd-r/rw etc and thats the option I clicked...I was assuming that if the disk says 120 minutes and 4.7gb or whatever that I didn't really need to see how big the movie was. Maybe it's just ebst that I invest in the 4 hour disks that way there's no issue.

Are you trying to straight out copy a movie DVD? If so then the movie is probably a DVD9 (dual layer) and the DVD your copying to is a DVD5 (single layer). Try a program like DVDShrink if you're trying to copy a DVD movie.

Is DVD shrink a program that you can just download off the net? Or is it one that you have to pay for?
