fat 32, so many files???

[lkrus]

Just wondering i am running xp home on a fat 32 file system using shrink 3.2 and dvd decrypter to burn i am limited on my hard drive space so i am forced to delete movies after every burn my question is this is it because i am running a fat 32 file system that either shrink or dvd decrypter breaks up the movie into about 6 files reason i ask is im pretty new to this and i set up a friends pc so he could do the same however he is running a ntfs file system and he says he only has 1 file to delete after he is done?????

this is due to FAT32 file size limitations.... you could consider converting to NTFS.

No - it's because your friend is saving the DVD in a SINGLE .ISO image file, while you are saving as the the separate (.IFO, .BUP. .VOB) files...
