hey, i dont no if there is another forum about this cause there is so many so sorry if am repeating someones question.
i have alcohol 120% and i made an image of a dvd onto my computer, but the size of the image is 6.5 GB, is there any software out there that can shrink the size of it down without losing any of the quality, so then i can burn it onto a normal 4GB Disc?? or if there is no software like that could someone please tell me if there is a DVD disc that could take that much???
yes thats very common and thats how people back up their DVDs. factory dvds have two layers, allowing over 9GB of data to be stored, where as consumers burners only burn a single layer which holds 4.7GB (4.5 formatted). there are consumer dual layer burners now that hold around 8.5GB of data though.
next time take a closer look around, there are numerous forum topics about this, and check out the guides section, you have many options of different software to use, and the good thing is they are free. I recomment DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD, DVD Shrink to compress and Nero (not free) to burn
