Among the options are, leaving the files in DVD format and shrinking those files to fit a standard DVD - and optionally burning the files - using DVD Shrink.
You can also convert the files to AVI format using AGK.
Run AGK and select the input file from the VIDEO_TS folder.
Usually it's 'VTS_01_0.IFO'.
Choose a location for the output (create a new folder).
Select the audio as required.
Choose a custom size for the output - 1500MB would be ample for a two hour movie for playback on the TV - 700MB if you want smaller files with lower quality for the PC.
Click 'Add Job' then 'Start'.
The conversion is best run overnight as it's quite CPU intensive.
Quote:thanks attar,one other thing forgot to mention, i need to compress the folder and convert to avi,so i can put it on a pen and then on a netbook which doesnt have a dvd writer,maybe you can advise on this,once again many thanks.
The output AVI file can be copied/dragged to the pen drive.
