thanks for that i downloaded DVD Shrink, unfortunately the link on how to make a copy of my dvd is not working could you give me instructions please? i already have madagascar on my hard drive. thanx again for your help and patiance.
If you already have the DVD files on your hard drive, I don't know if I can help you to burn it using DVD Decrypter. The files need to be copied off the original DVD in a certain mode and then tweaked. However, the files you have now are well below the 4.36 gb limit (For future reference, 1 g is approx. 1000 mb).
The link works perfectly fine, but you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it, as the file is in PDF form. You can get it here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html You should download it, because that is just something essential to have.
From here, you have two options.
1) Recopy the files from the original DVD using the guide above, or
2) Get your hands on some sort of burning software (and you would probably have to pay for this) like Nero, which will allow you to copy DVD Video files to a DVD.
