how to cut off some of a mpeg1

[xboot]

sup peeps

i have a mpeg1 or (or mpeg2)movie and its just over the limit to burn to a dvd-r.
how can i cut some credits at the end off to make it fit on to a dvd-r

plz advise thanks

Use DVD Shrink, re-author it and select only the main movie. if its still to large and you dont want to compress further, use the start/end features to get rid of the credits.

I am afraid that DVDshrink does not help you with that,
since DvDshrink needs a valid dvdstructure to operate.

if you have already generated a FULL and VALID dvd structure
you can use DVDshrink to adapt it to fit on a 4.7 GB DVDrecordable.
if you just want to cut an mpeg use Tmpeg encoder and refer to
the merge and cut tools in mpeg tools section!!

just wanna add this as cuting /joining will result in reencoding the whole file, and im assuming tmpeg doesnt have this option, use cyberlinks powerdirectors svrt option to reencode saving lot of time.

When using TMPGEnc's "Merge&Cut" function, there is NO re-encoding performed...

(TMPGEnc>>File>>MPEGTools>>Merge&Cut)

At the risk of offending you - So why would you make a contradictory statement/suggestion about software that you're not familiar with?

The suggestion made by "Shiny#3 was absolutely correct.

It's wonderful that you want to help your fellow posters, but your posting here only created confusion, not clarity...
