DVD Shrink

I second the DVDShrink option, but take the time to read the tutorials about
how to use it.

Some movies are too big to be shrunk properly, and need to be split between
2 discs, or burned to a double layer disc. Shrink can split a movie very
nicely.

Then you've been lucky, or you're watching on a small screen. Shrinking to
less than 80% is clearly visible on a large hi-res screen. Likewise, there
are many tricks and tweaks around to maximize results, and the proper use of
the quality settings is critical for top-quality results. All of which
requires some learning.

I agree......
You have to decide what extras to omit in order to fit most films onto one
4.7GB disc.
I usually get rid of multiple audio tracks, subtitles and most extras.
This usually results in a shrink of around 80% which as mentioned above is
what you need or else the quality really suffers on a large screen

I usually watch them on a 27" RCA, but they also get played on a 52" 16x9
HDTV. I know there is going to be quality loss...but i haven't seen
anything that obvious. I just always do the detailed analysis or whatever
its called, and leave out the audio tracks i don't need.

In addition to getting rid of surplus sound and languages, I also shrink the
menus as much as possible, making more room for the movie.

I did a "Copy Disk" in Nero and Nero output 2 images .....
"movie.nrg" (4194 Mb) and "movie.nrg.001" (3283 Mb) .....
So, what do I do with these 2 images now to have them
fit onto a single sided DVD?
I'm new at DVD burning and any help is most welcome.
thnx! ..... :-)
