OK here goes.
I am new to this so excuse me if you've all answered this a million times already.
I have a movie to burn to DVD and I have ULEAD, which seems to be a great tool, but...
The video I want to put on a disc is 4.9GB and there is only 4.4 GB of space on a DVD+RW.
How do I format the video so that it will fit on the DVD?
Thanks for your patience.

Use DVD Shrink but the files must be DVD video compliant (i.e Video TS/Vobs/Bups), not MPEG. Alternatively just rip the original disc again directly with Shrink.

How do I get .VOB or any of the other file types from .AVI?
This has not been ripped from a disc, it is an .AVI file given to me by someone else.
I'm new!!!
Cut me some clack.

You would get a better result with the Mainconcept Mpeg encoder to convert to mpeg2, then use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make the DVD files. Good luck :)

Ruddy52,
You can do it two ways assuming your original is MPEG.
1. Use TMPGAuthor or your favorite authoring software to create a compliant DVD directory (contains the .VOB,.IFO files) and then use DVDShrink to transcode it to the correct size - this option is easier but will loose more quality
2. Use TMPGEnc or Mainconcept MPEG encoder (my favorite) and re-encode the MPEG to a size below 4.3GB. Then use your authoring software to create the DVD compliant files - this is a tad more difficult since you need to know some settings in the encoder, but it will render better quality. It will also take longer to create as re-encoding is time consuming.
If your original is already in DVD compliant formant (again this would be: .VOB and .IFO files) there is no need to use an encoder, DVDShrink or any other transcoder will do the job.

A 4.9 GB AVI file will easily be under 4 GB when it is changed into an MPeg2 file.

Use DVD Shrink to rip/decrypt/compress. Then use Nero to burn. Nero uses simple drag and drop to get all files burned.

All I can say is if it's an AVI file it must be a bloody long film at over 4Gb!

"WORD" Herbsman??
What exactly does that mean?
Thanks for the help BTW Herbsman. I couldn't have done it without you.
In future if you have nothing to say that would help, then don't say anything.
