    The current DVD size is too big

    I captured a movie with my TV card (mpeg) and I want to save it on a DVD
    The file is more than 4.7 GIG.
    I first authored it with DVDMovieFactory on the hard drive
    Then I tried to shrink it with DVDShrink.
    I received the message : "The current DVD size is too big! If you continue, you may not be able to burn the resulting file".

    THe files are :
    Video
    No Compression : 6260 MB
    Automatic (59%) 3664 MB

    Audio
    1 file 1447 MB

    The main movie is therefore 5173 MB

    I tried to change the ratio manually, but the lower ratio I can choose is 59% so it does not solve the problem.

    Anything that I can do ?
    Thanks

    If you cant shrink it any more then it is you might have to split it onto 2 DVDs.

      But How come DVD Shrink can compress some 8 GIG files on one DVD and could not compress a 6 GIG file on one ?

        why dont you convert your huge AUDIO stream into something smaller?

          Well,
          Obviously I do not know too much what I am doing here so...how can I recognise the audio file (all big files have a .VOB extension) and how can I reduce its size?)

          Thanks

            If you run VirtualDubMod on your original MPEG file you can split the video and audio streams in order to compress the audio for subsequent remultiplexing.
            Some folk however have got away with simply running DVD Shrink a second time on the slightly oversize DVD structure.
            One question; is your tv stream a DVB or analogue?
            This isn't a learning curve ... this is b****y mountaineering!

                that's good - just asked as DVB needs an extra conversion.
                I'd try the second Shrink before splitting your audio and video.

                  In TMPGenc go to file>>MPEG Tools>>Demultiplex and insert capture file into source window. If the audio stream says it's Linear PCM you can convert it to further reduce your video by 1/3...but if it's PCM, AC3, mp1,2 or3 it's about as small as it can get. If it's LPCM I'll give you a quick way to convert it.

                    Yes, it is Linear PCM.
                    It also says: "48000 hz 2ch 1536 kb/s"

                      double click video stream and save it (it's a m2v). Double click audio stream and save it (it's a .wav). Then close out of MPEG Tools. In the main screen area of TMPGenc click ctrl N and it will reset project. Then in "audio source" window select the LPCM .wav you just saved...an .mp2 file will pop up in the "output" window automatically....click "start" and it will be on your HDD in 10 minutes. Return to MPEG Tools...in "simple multiplex" select MPEG2 Program VBR and select the .m2v stream in "video source" and the mp2 (usually it pops up automatically) in audio source and hit run. Result is an MPEG2 2/3 the size of the original. Play and check synch.
