| Cannot compress DVD small enough to fit!? Hi there, I'm trying to burn a DVD using Mac the Ripper and Toast but my formatted DVD-R only holds about 4.3GB. Can anyone please suggest how to rectify this? Thank you! L  |

 What version of Toast are you usng. Toast V 7.01 compresses the file to fit on a blank DVD-R. There is also DVD2OneX which offers more than Toast and does an excellent job. Unless you are using dual (double) layer blanks, you have to use a compression program to reduce the size of the VideoTS file. A good site to visit is www.ripdifferent.com where a lot of your Mac questions can be answered. Hope this helps.

| I've also used a program made by Roxio called Popcorn to compress video. It does this by removing unnecessary subtitles and languages. As a last resort, it will also reduce to actual video resolution or audio bitrate. It's pretty flexible and has been very reliable for me. |
