You need DVD Shrink, to compress the files, so they fit on one disc.
Good luck!
As you can see, the words DVD Shrink are underlined. Click on it to go to the page to download it.
Enjoy.........

where did you get these files? Sounds like you only have VOB files or you have corrupted IFO files.

Here's a picture of how the structure should look. You'll have a different number of VOB files and they'll be numbered differently, but basically you should see IFO and BUP files with the VOB kinda like I have. If you don't see them then the DVD won't work and you'll need to make them. We can help with that too if need be.

and on DVD Shrink, I click on "Open Files" and I try to select a folder which holds them movies, but I get that error message I posted earlier, can someone help me on JUST opening the files from my computer to DVD Shrink, i already know how to do the "Open Disc" I just want to burn movies I have on my computer to DVD, that's all, my DVD burner isn ot dual layer, so I guess I have to compress it first, but yeah, the message ocmes up when I try to "Open Files" option, please don't tell me how to do it with a DVD, I already got the movie on my computer, please, just tell me how to burn it to DVD, I am really confused....

your movies are not in DVD format. You will need to convert them. There are many programs available for this, WinAVI, AVI2DVD, DivXtoDVD (which is what I use).

I went to the links but they both took me right back to this thread.
I've heard good and bad about DVD Santa. You can do a search for it here and get a free trial of it if you'd like, but it's gonna leave its logo on your movies.
I'd suggest going with DivXtoDVD, they offer a free trial. The best thing about that program is its simplicity and it will do MPEG, AVI, and wmv formats, probably some others too. Most other programs only do 1 format or so.

Because I mean, whenever I open that folder (VIDEO_TS) in DVD Shrink, all it brings up is a 2 second lcip of nothing but black and top left says "Demo Version" bottom rightsays "Get the full version for only $29.99 @ dvdsanta.com"

you should only have to use DVD Shrink if the files are too big to fit on a DVDR. More than 4.3GB, use Shrink. Otherwise just burn like you'd burn a normal DVD.
