A quick and simple question for any experienced Imageburn user

[kingaaa]

Can I put 2 45 minutes avi files converted to iso files on to a 120 minute dvd-r disc?

[cornholio7]

how big are the iso's (gb) and are you using dvd5 or dvd9 ?

[kingaaa]

I dont know how big the iso's are, Avi2Dvd does'nt seem to have created iso files in the temp folder, it has created an "AVISYNTH FILE" , a "AUDIOSTREAM1 MP32CH" file, a"PULLDOWN VIDEO"file, and a "beesweet audiostream mp3" file ? No ISO. This is what it says in the log window :

I'm using a single-layer 4.7 G DVD-R, I guess its DVD 5?

Have a look at this...

[kingaaa]

I've actually read that thread and followed it step by step, I've never had this problem before.

[kingaaa]

Right, I got the Avi2Dvd working, so back to my original question,CAN I BURN TWO ISO FILES ONTO ONE DISC WITH IMAGEBURN? The files average 1.5 gigs, so there should be plenty of room on the disc which is 4.7 gigs. Anybody know how to do it?

[locoeng]

Add the two ISO images together with DVD Shrink to create one ISO for burning with Imgburn. I don't think you can do multiple ISO's for one burn with Imgburn.

Just some friendly advice:
When you use ALL CAPILTAL LETTERS it appears that you are shouting at people and people won’t respond well to that.
I understand you may be frustrated, but you have to clam down. There are a lot of people that will help just relax. People in this forum don’t get paid to answer questions and offer help we all do this out of the kindness of our hearts so please be nice. You will be amazed at how much help you will get.


As my mother always used to say “You will attract more bees with honey then you will with salt and vinegar.”

Angel 2004, happy Easter to you too. Why is it whenever you put anything in capitals you always get the obligitory "calm down" and "friendly advice" replies? I simply put the original question in caps to highlight it and get back on track.I'd like to think we are all adults here, and I am on a lot of other forums (different interests) and it always amazes me the amount of people that get there feathers all ruffled up when they see a few capital letters.And I think what ruffles my feathers the most is the tone of the message offering advice.Angel, I'm 39 not 12.There was no offence intended but if something like a line in capital letters upsets you, I apologise.I just wonder if the whole post was in lower case would you have chimed in with some advise or just moved on?

Now back to the original question.If anybody took offence with the capital letters I apologise, I was simply trying to get the thread back on track.I know nobdy gets paid for offering advice, so I will be greatful for any help at all.

[Chewy]

Now back to the original question
already answered, imgburn can only do one iso, use shrink to reauthor and join iso's

[kingaaa]

Chewy, thanks for the answer.I'm not familiar with dvd shrink, how does it work? Do I just add the 2 iso files from the Avi2Dvd temp files? When I first started using Avi2Dvd there used to be files named "ISO", but now there are only files called "DVD image".Are these the same as "ISO" files? Also, I'm presuming its called dvd shrink because it shrinks the files.Is there any loss of quality with the process?

Thanks

[Chewy]

in ben's guide under the DVD_Image it says iso file

under file in shrink, use the open image, see how big shrink analyzes it to be.
if a single image is already 4 gigs, then forget 2 of them, frivulous exercise

[locoeng]

If you are putting two ISO's that are 1.5 gigs each onto one disc you will need no compression, so there shouldn't be any loss of quality...

Can I put 2 45 minutes avi files converted to iso files on to a 120 minute dvd-r disc?

The files average 1.5 gigs, so there should be plenty of room on the disc which is 4.7 gigs.

If you only have the two files you will get no where near filling the disc completely...when putting movies on a DVD you should be more concerned with how big the file is rather than how long the file is.

[kingaaa]

Ok Chewy, I've downloaded Dvd shrink. I still have to convert with Avi2Dvd, right? Dvd shrink doe'st convert the Avi files as well as shrink them?

[Chewy]

what happened to the Avi2Dvd temp files?
shrink doesn't do avi's

[kingaaa]

Chewy, the Avi2dvd iso files are still there, I just was'nt sure for future reference if dvd shrink would actually replace Avi2Dvd?Please forgive my ignorane,I'm kinda new to the whole burning thing.

[Chewy]

In this case you are just trying to use shrink to join 2 titles into one dvd compliant file, shrink is mainly used to transcode(compress) dvd's down to a size that will fit a single dvd(single layer).

[kingaaa]

Thats basically what I want to do.The ISO's in question are roughly around 1.5 gigs.Does this mean that I will get at least 2, maybe 3 of the ISO's onto 1 disc without actually compressing them? Also, is there a maximum size that you can compress? i.e if I wantes to put say 6 of these files onto 1 4.7 gig DVD-r, can it be done? is there a huge loss in quality?

[Chewy]

You'd probably be safe with 3-4 1.5 gig files per dvd, but past that shrink takes too long to compress and you will lose quality unless you enable
AEC and DA, whole nother can of worms.
Blanks are cheap.

[kingaaa]

Thanks Chewy, Ill be happy with 3 files on the one disc.What are AEC and DA?

[Chewy]

Leave them out of the equation at first, they are in the backup window from shrink, da(deep analysis) and aec(adap erro corr?) are for compressions where you take 5-6 gigs and compress.

it's all pretty much in here, spend a few weeks or months and you should get a handle on it

[a2j3]

please read forum rule # 9. photo_angel was trying 2 help u. not be rude 2 u. our feathers get ruffled when people want 2 be rude to each other in this forum. therefore we refrain and donot condone such actions.

[blutach]

@a2j3 - please read rule 17 - if you think a post is bad report it please and do not go into print yourself. This only causes flame wars.

[a2j3]

was not trying to stir pot, but help. if that is wrong im sorry should have also read rules more clearly.

[blutach]

@kingaaa

Here's an idea - if your ISOs are of DVDs (I'm not sure whether you have them successfully converted yet), you can mount them with daemon tools.

Copy the DVD files into folders.

Now either use this guide (http://www.dvdshrink.info/compilation.php) or DVD Remake Pro (http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/index.php) to put the both onto the one DVD (the latter does it in one click keeping menus of both DVDs but the former is freeware).

Regards

[blutach]

@a2j3 - not only was the pot stirred, but an issue between photo_angel2004 and kingaaa that was amicably put to bed some 2 days ago resurfaced for some reason.

[a2j3]

as i said before I'm sorry.

[kingaaa]

Blutach, the ISO's are of tv programmes I've saved.I've managed to use Dvdshrink and got three episodes onto one disc, which is a big imrovement on just one per disc.It is a long process though,using the three different programs.

[blutach]

Well, as I said, DVD Remake Pro (http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/index.php) makes it a breeze. You just click a coupla times and export the project. Budda bing, budda boo.

Consider the investment if you have a lot of these to do.

Regards

[kingaaa]

Blutach, thanks for all the help.I think I'll stay with the present set-up, at least I have a handle on it now and I know it works.That DVD Remake Pro looks good, though, and its not a bad price either.
