Hi Everyone
I have converted all my old golf movies onto my computers hard drive using Cyberlink and have transfered them onto DVD but some of the files are to big for 1 dvd so I was wondering if there was some way of shrinking the files without loosing there quality. Also is there a free program that I can use.
Thank you all very much
Regards
Addam

An mpeg-2 file can be shrunk using Rejig.
The output will be two streams - a video .m2v file and an audio stream.
You can mux the two files together to get a new mpeg-2 file or create a DVD movie using the likes of Imago Mpeg-Muxer, Rejig or DVD Flick.

If it's great quality you want to keep them mpeg2. If it's average quality use mediacoder to convert it to AVI (use the h264 video codec, mp3 lame audio codec, and on the video quality use something like 1300 kpbs or higher for extreme quality. I usually use 900 kpbs and it produces excellent results, but the higher kpbs will give you results indistinguishable from the original.
You should get a finished file half the size.

Thanks soooooo much attar and jony218 for your help.
I downloaded rejig and after much trial and error I then downloaded imago and it worked.
I tried to convert to AVI but because the whole idea was to transfer from video to my computer and then compress the larger mpeg files so they would fit onto a single DVD the rejig and imago worked the best anbd gave the best results.
So once again thank you guys so much
Regards
