Firts of all sorry if this is been posted before, I tried to look it up and found a couple of subject with no reply. I would really appreciate an answer to my question. I have two movies that are both under 2 hours. When I go into Nero and reauthor either movie, I bring just the movie over and have only one audio track. The problem is that both movies are 7.4GB. I want to know why an under 2 hr. movie with now features and one audiotrack is that big. What can I do to make it smaller. The compression rating on both movies are both under 65% and I usually don't copy movies under 70%. Please help me to understand why they are taking up so much space. Thanks

I may be wrong but here's my theory (what I think). The length of a movie has little bearing on the size of the dvd. I believe it is more the rate of which it was created. For example a song that is 3 minutes long would be bigger than a song that is 6 minutes long if the recording of the 3 minute song was at a bitrate of 512 and the 6 minute song was at 128. I believe the same to be true for movies. The bitrate when coding would/could affect the size of the movie more than the length. Just my thought.

you should be able to use shrink and just copy it with that depending on how old the movie is you might have to have a program running in the backround to take out the copy protection

Like the man said run through voblanker or fixvts to solve this now common problem. Also update AnyDVD or dvd fabdecrypter if you have them is also supposed to solve this. One is free one is not both very good.
