hi

if you are doing a full dvd of a big size in gig shrink has a big job of handleing the output size and basicaly getting it right, you can get over this in 3 ways

1, put the files back in that it compresses and compress it twice in effect!

2, Use deep analysis when first srinking!

3, or when first shrinking go into settings and back off the output size by changing to CUSTOM size! say to 4400

I just realized, you said full disk, but I am using reauthor plus I only pulled the movie itself to be burned...this is why I don't understand why I get "media not large enough!" The movie is 2 hrs and 11 min.

I am trying to burn only the movie itself which is only 2hrs 11min. Under preferences I used Custom and 4400 and I tried to use DA but it wouldn't let me select it. I think I had done it earlier. What do you think is the problem? This is strange.

Ok I understand. I was able to fix the problem...it wasn't my disk that was full, it was my hard drive. I had to delete some of the movies I had on my hard drive. Thanks for your help!!
