I am trying to shrink a Harry Potter movie which is in avi format dvd shrink cant do it, it says the film is not compatible. The film is saved on my hard drive it was downloaded of net. Is there anyway I am able to shrink as I want to burn it to dvd/r so I can clear space on laptop,
all suggestions greatly appreciated.

The format it wrong for DVD Shrink. AVI has to be converted to DVD format. I use Nero Vision or ConvertXtoDVD for AVI conversions.

Why would you be burning DVDs with a conversion program? Normally for just burning, either the Burning ROM or Express are used. Nero Vision is the conversion program, similar to ConvertXtoDVD. Both convert and burn their output.

ConvertXtoDVD is free to try but will leave a watermark. If you like the results DVD Flick is a similar program to both Nero Vision and ConvertXtoDVD, but is entirely free and does a comparable job. Here is a guide:

In answer to your question, you appear to have it right now. Nero Vision is for converting various formats and includes the ability to change PAL and NTSC. The latter is handy if dealing with some out of region DVDs. With the burning rom and express, pretty much what comes in is duplicated by the burn as long as the structure is compliant.

Glad to see you got your conversion and DVD copy working properly.
