i'm trying to back up The Matrix and ive stripped it down to 4.88 gigs, is there any way i can just burn it to the dvdr now? i'm not sure what it would do...and i dont want to wait an hour to find out...will it just chop off the credits at the end of the movie, or will the burned copy not work at all? i dread having to re encode this since i used ifo edit and it sounds difficult to learn and not the best quality result. but if it just cuts of the last few minutes of the credits on the movie i could care less about them. using Nero burning rom on windows XP btw...

I believe you will get an error if you try. Reencoding is going to be the only way. You need to get down to 4.37 GB's. Even if you could copy and have it cut off the end, I think you would lose more than the end credits.

There are programs out there that will cut these end credits off, but I don't know exactly what they are.

Reencoding movies is quite the process. When you get it down though, it's pretty much the last frontier. You will be able to do 99% of the movies out there without much problem.

As framerman says, u need to get the files to approx 4.36/4.37Gb, I have not done the matrix but there 2 methods that may work, depending on length of credits.

The first which is the hardest compared with the second, is to use ifoedit, and use the splitto 2 disc option.
Here you can select at which point to split the disc at, find the chapter no. which starts the credits and split at that point, then just delete the second disc and then u r left with 1 disc with the movie and no credits, however this STILL may not reduce the filesize to 4.37Gb, someone who has done the matrix would be ideal for u.

The second way which would be the easiest, fastest is to use the 'new' dvd2one software, this software will transcode any large movie down to 4.36Gb so it will fit on a dvdr.

This software is NOT free and costs approx £40, you can get a trial version which will do 30 mins for you.

Check out www.dvd2one.com and also the dvd2one section in this forum, I think u will be interested in it, BTW there is a slight drop off in quality but I think it goes unnoticable.

Have a look, hope it helps

hello all..

oh yea, the matrix is a fun one to do (or not!)
this movie has two main things to think about:
1. its a warner bros movie
2. its a multiple angle movie

1. when you strip the streams in ifoeditor, make sure you REMOVE the vob id for teh warner bros logo (if you keep it, it will make the transcoded m2v file blocky and messed up, i guess the warner bros logo has a different bitrate than the rest of the movie)

2. also be sure to only keep the angle 1 in ifoeditor, this movie is a multi angle movie and if you don't strip the other angles, you'll have a similar problem as with the logo.

hope that helps ya, if you need more info, PM me.
peace
