Shrinking a MPEG file of 5.25 GB (in the HD) into a DVD-R of 4.7 GB

[Ciccioniti]

I hope I'm posting in the right place...!:confused:
I just have put together some videos done with my DV Camera to which I added some titles, photos...and I created an MPEG file of 5.25 GB. Now I would like to put everything on a DVD-R but the original file is obviously too big. Does anybody know a programme which can shrink my original file into 4.7 GB, such like DVD Shrink does with VOB files?

Ciao!!!:)

Why ? The best thing is to calculate the bitrate so that you won't get an MPEG file that is too big.

the original file is obviously too big

DVD-R is not the only thing that exists. You could put it on a DVD+R DL easily :p :D

Does anybody know a programme which can shrink my original file into 4.7 GB, such like DVD Shrink does with VOB files?

Sure. DVD Shrink. You only need to author first, and then use DVD Shrink to shrink it.
