TICKET ARCHIVE -> Duplicating DVD
brrsoa - Dec 9, 2005 - 7:14 am
I tried to duplicate a DVD and when I order it to burn i received a message saying that the disk does not have enough space to store the master dvd image I did. Is there any way to customize the imaging process so that its size could be shortened?

Brrspa, welcome to macosx.com
(* you use, if you burner is ready for, double layer DVDs..which are more expensive than the classical ones
(*) you use some software to rip the DVD onto your hard drive (in a VIDEO_TS folder); then you use some other software like PopCorn to encode it into the target blank DVD
You rip the whole DVD with MTR then choose in PopCorn which title/soundtrack/subtitles to suppressed to obtain the minimum of compression and so the maxismum of quality
(*) you use MTR again, but you select within this soft which track/.. to keep in order to lower the final size under the 4.6 GB limit; and yes, you'll have to make some tries to find the final size
Then you use DVDImager to obtain a burnable image you can burn with the Finder
(*) you can use Toast7 which has a built-in "Fit-to-DVD compression" which automatically compress the video for the target DVD size
