Compressing to DVD
 

Any ideas gratefully received thanks:-

I am trying to recreate some DVDs using AVI files of various episodes of a series.

Unfortunately, and bizarrely, when I queue the AVI files in Xilisoft AVI to DVD converter, the finished size is larger than a DVD.

Is there a way of reducing the files so that they fit on a DVD please?

Yup. DVD Shrink, free too.

Edit: If you regularly convert to DVD format, I can recommend SVCD2DVD. £20 for a lifetime of support & upgrades. Simple 2 click process to use, and fast - depending on your system of course.

Thanks Tatts :)

I looked at DVD Shrink but couldn't get it to recognise AVI files.

It won't shrink an AVI file - just VOB files.

Convert the avi files to DVD, then use it to shrink.

Now it all makes sense - thanks :D
