it will be dual layer and probably in and around the 7gb mark. Google DVDshrink. I'm sure it can split each layer to allow you to burn it on to 2 discs or else you are gonna need a dual layer burner

Originally posted by MWSAHI can't be compressed any further, it's stuck at 4.9GB. And I don't wanna compress. I copied Paris too and that once gave me a big VOB file which Nero couldn't handle with burning. So I gave Shrink the order to produce an image (.ISO) of it, I burned it with Nero and so I got it. Dunno if that will help with Chicago.
Originally posted by HarryAha, I'm guessing you're not aware of the thing young kids do when you get a couple of paper cups, join them with a piece of string and use them as walkie-talkies? No, I don't understand the logic behind them but I guess it's cheaper for parents than having to get hold of handheld radios for their children to break them lol...
...basically, I was saying that you don't seem to be satisfied with simple technology, unlike myself
My phone is outdated, considering how science has come in the last 3-4 years, but I don't care because I just want it for texting and talking lol.

Try removing the 5.1 or 2.1 channel sound. Go Open Disc > Re-Author > drag the biggest file in and then remove some of the audio channels, and it may well call for sacrificing some quality like down to 70% - which is kind of a big loss, but not massively. The picture quality looks pretty crap anyway, so it's not like it's gonna get any better. Actually, out of interest, I just tested it out and I got it down to an acceptable size to burn to a single-layer DVD. That was re-authoring and only keeping AC3 5.1 English sound, and 90% picture quality. Not bad.
I've tried doing it before and I got it to 4.6GB - remembering, blank DVDs (single-sided) are only 4.35GB in total, 4.7GB they never have been. Take 7% off physical storage sizes, always, and you'll get the true amount - this is why you only usually get 143-146GB on a 160GB hard drive. So really, it's kind of misleading.

In Shrink, you go to Edit > Preferences > Output Files and tick the boxes called "Split files into 1GB chunks (recommended)" and "Logical remapping of enabled streams". That should fix the one-large VOB issue.

Aye, I love the paper-cup walkie talkies. And you can even colour them so they look like they have different skins - what a concept.
