| Need help with Ripper, please Hey I have MactheRipper and when I burn DVDs to the computer it burns at bigger files than what the movie should be. For example, if the DVD-r, a 4.7GB dvdr with a movie, is copied on my laptop, it copys it at 4.7GB+ sometimes up to 8.0GB. Why is this so? Can i make it smaller so it can fit on a normal DVD-R and not a double-layer one? Thanks agian  |

| '... if the DVD-r, a 4.7GB dvdr with a movie, is copied on my laptop, it copys it at 4.7GB+ sometimes up to 8.0GB.'... ''Why is this so?' - if the DVD you are copying, and thus removing the encryption - via 'MacTheRipper', is a commercial product - it would rarely be 4.x GB; but, is typically 8.+ GB. 'Can i make it smaller so it can fit on a normal DVD-R and not a double-layer one?' - by then using 'DVD2one'. Finally, you will need 'Toast' or similar to burn the copied movie onto a blank DVD. |

| DVD Compression Quote:
the output VIDEO_TS folder is uncompressed. That's why you see 8gb file sizes. As Microsoft Tech Support says "It's a feature, not a bug." Geezerbuttz has enough on his plate dealing with protection schemes. He isn't going to recompress the output for you. The other respondents have told you the standard "compress and burn" apps. Toast and Popcorn use the same compression algorithm (They are both from Roxio). DTOX uses another that some say is better.
