I'm sorry if this is an obvious question or one thats been asked before but when I read a dvd I've bought(using dvd decrypter) eg Finding Nemo, it says the dvd is 7.2 gig big. How can this be?
I thought all dvds were 4.7 gig . How can I back this up to a normal dvd + r

Cheers

for this you need to shrink the movie to fit on a single layer disc (4.7gb). Look at software link at top of page to download DVD Shrink (free, outdated now as regards to newer copy protections but more than capable of handling Nemo as there's no fuuny new protections on that one). Then look at guides link at top of page for DVD Shrink, it's real easy to use
