Does anyone know if you can shrink any movie reguardless of length and then burn it with nero on a single layer dvd?
Thanks.

Yes - it can be done e.g., Lord of the Rings movies (over 3 hours) can be compressed to fit on a single layer DVD (movie only at about 57%) and still be of good quality.

Same with TV Series e.g. 4 episodes on one disk.

The backup of a movie doesn't depend on the lenths of the movie, 3 hours +, just the size of the file being backed up and what will fit onto your blank disc.

What was the error message you got? Make sure your disc is clean and free of scratches.

That would of been my suggestion, rip to HDD first using DVD Decrypter or DVDFab Decrypter and then run through DVD Shrink.
