I am trying to get a film I downloaded on to dvd but the file is too big for the dvd. What can I use to shrink the size of the file?

I have looked into a dvd shrinker but this doesnt help as the file is already on my hard drive!

Thanks in advance

DVDshrink can be used with video files already on your hard drive. In what format are the files you downloaded in? Shrink will recognize ISO image files or DVD video files (ie.. .ifo, .bup, .vob).

I would use a free app called Avi2DVD for converting the files into a DVD compliant format shrink will recognize. You can get it and all you need to know here;
