Yes - it shrinks (compresses) the actual 8.5g original disc to 4.7 or less to fit on a regular DVD-/+R disc.

Well you have to have a DVD burner of course. Here's a link to a guide for you to follow. It's very simple. Good luck and happy burning! :-)

Typically the CRC error can mean a few different things, such as a dirty or scratched disc, sometimes it can mean you have a bad press. But lately the copy protection can throw out that error. What movie are you backing up?
