Does anyone Know of a program that can compress/change movie/video files to make them smaller so i can fit them onto dvd.

thanks

Hello there w_b_mitch and welcome to this great site.

• What format are these files that you are trying to change, and what size are they?
• What software are you currently using to burn the files onto DVD?

Normally the DVD burning software (e.g Nero) will automatically compress the file to fit onto DVD, depending on its size of course.

Alternatively have you tried using Windows Movie Maker (comes with XP), you should be able to open the movie in it and resave it as a .avi/.wmv. This will normally make the files smaller which you can then burn onto DVD.

They are currently vob files so they wont open in movie maker i can change the extension to make them open in movie maker but then there is no sound on some of them so there is no point. the files are currnetly 700mb each but the entire movie is togeter is like 6 gig. do u know of any programs made for compressing videos

You can download DVD Shrink here.

This will allow you to trim animated Menu's and unnecessary sound tracks (alternate languages and such). Furthermore, it will compress the movie file itself enough to reduce it to fit on a 4.7 gig DVD R.

Dvd Shrink and DvD Decryptor work Great and perfecectly, thanks alot for the info.

No problem, marked as Answered.
