ok this is annoying me like crazy but i dled some movies so i could burn them on to dvds and my dvd burner came with cyberlink power producer so i have been using that... well i have only burnt one dvd so far (The grudge) and now wen i try to burn a movie (ex: Saw 3=700mb) it says that the disc cannot hold it, but the dvds are 4.7 gigs so i dont get what is taken up the rest of the space?? If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated!!

it means its not the right file type, you need to convert it.

what program should i use to convert it?

I hear nero is pretty good... i'm although having alot of problems with my burner not uhh burning anything... off anything. I think its my blanks :/

On the Nero main menu, look at the top. It usually shows a default "CD" format, and when you select to burn a disk, it will only allow file sizes to fill a CD, not a DVD. Click on the CD and it will allow to select CD, CD/DVD or DVD. Change it to DVD. Now the menu will as you for what type of recording you want to make.

You need to be more specific as to what your trying to do.

I burned tons of movies to DVD using Nero, so ask away.

well i did that but im using powerproducer so i need another prgram to convert the video file...um has anyone used powerproducer before .... or wats the best program for burning dvd movies?

Use nero. Can get it at www.filehippo.com
If you're trying to backup a movie then you can use dvd shrink to back it up. Then use DVD decrypter or nero to burn it to another dvd.

Some movies on dvd actually exceed the size of a dvd. So, you may need dvd shrink to remove some parts you don't need. If you find that a backup of a dvd exceeds the file size when trying to burn it then use dvd shrink and click "re-author". And select the parts of the dvd you want to backup (ie skip the extras and such).

You can get nero, dvd shrink and dvd decrypter at filehippo.com

First, what kind of file are you trying to convert? What do you want to convert to? Are you wanting to edit the video file?
