Yes I am new at this so bare with me if you would...lol
I can burn movies fine with express but
the ones that are two large, what program do I need
to use to cut one in half or make it smaller
so I can burn.
I downloaded dvd shrink and get an error when I try to open the file (movie) I want to shrink or cut..
Which ever is easier.
I can put on 2 disk if I know how to cut in half..
This is movies I already have on my hd. that I want to burn..
Thanks for any help and sorry to be such a noob..lol

Play the movie that is giving you trouble a few seconds with your software player, then stop it and reopen Shrink and see if it works then. You sometimes have to play the movie a little to unlock the drive for Shrink to work. Be advised that there is a new type encryption just out the last couple of months that Shrink can't decrypt. You will then need DVD Decrypter or AnyDVD to decrypt these new movies. You need to download the newest version of either one to work. Good luck.

Sorry, just re-read your post. You already have the movie on your HD. My mistake.
