Can DVD Shrink do do this? I have a lot of MPEG files and I want to shrink them to fit it no a DVD.They are each 700 MB. Or I can have them on a CD. My friend's mom have her a VCD that had like 8 episodes and each about 40 Minutes. If DVD Shrink cannot do this, does anybody know any program that can shrink MPEG files?
Thanks

I think if u use a DVD authoring program like TMPengce or Unlead DVD Movie Factory to convert them to DVD format u can rip them to hard drive in DVD format then ripp them to DVD using a DVD ripper.

I hope that helps

Quan127,
borhan9 is correct as you will have to make the mpeg conversion to mpeg-2 DVD Compliant and the guide is below w/ the necessary programs needed

Okay thanks. When I convert them to dvd format, can the dvd ripper burn more than 1 dvd format? One more, how long will it take to convert them and then burning?

Quan127 ,
Speed of conversion depends on your computer resources( ram, CPU other programs running in the background) and burning depends on the speed of your burner. If I was converting the files and using Premiere I should be able to convert each 700 Mb file in about 15-20 minutes . After each is compliant then you can use DVD Shrink to compress and Nero or DVDDecrypter to burn the compilation. If you burn at 4X then it should take about 15 minutes. The DVD ripper I think you are talking about is DVDDecrypter and it only burns .iso files but you can use Shrink to compile the files for DVDDecrypter to burn automatically

That is for converting AVI's and not MPEGs isn't it?

I've another question along the same line, I have transfered Tivo recordings to my PC and turned them from .tivo files into mpegs, they'd fit on a DvD but when I go to Nero to burn them they have a large increase in file size, why is that?

As far as I can tell I must author these then I must shrink them then burn them, which takes ages on top of the allready long process of transfering from the tivo and taking of the .tivo, is this the only way?

Just because a program is faster doesnt mean it will make it better quality. Sometimes with time u get better results also u dont go through a bunch of Blank DVD's for no reason. Just take the time. If it aint broke y fix it :)

To All

Thanxs for the vote of confidence
:)

Yes, use VSO DIvxtoDVD

Input your files and press convert, it is MUCH FASTER than the other alternatives.

Enjoy!

oh I have that, but when i converted 5 episode about 40 mins each into a one mpeg file and converted into a folder using VSO DivXtoDVD, some of the parts didnt work on dvd. i just need a program that can work when you convert files and play it on dvd. speed matters, but not too fast so i cant play them on dvd. quality doesn't really matter to me
