| Hi all first post and newbie here so first things first hello. I have searched the internet for the answers to my questions but belive this is the place im more than likely find the answers. I have 4.7 GB 120 min dvd-rw discs and am looking to burn an avi file which is 3.1 GB and over 5 hours in length. Now i pretty much know how to burn a relatively small file to dvd but since the file is so large will i have to split the file or compress it??? Any help you can give me would be much appreicated Many thanks |

| well with this size file you can do two things; 1. Transcode the avi into an mpeg2 file, then shrink with a program like dvd shrink or 2. Split the file first, then transcode the file to an mpeg2 Id recommend the second option, as you will lose alot of quality shrinking down that amount. |
| i thought that may be the case do you think it will fit onto 2 dvds? How do i go about spitting the file then trancoding it into mpeg file? Sorry if im sounding completly dumb but im still quite new to this Many thanks again |

 In order to really answer your question, we must know what you're really trying to accomplish. You are probably trying to do one of the following two things, but which is it?
If you're trying to do #2, then it mostly depends on how long your AVI file is (playing time) and what quality you can accept. In any case you will have to make a conversion and perhaps also splitting the content between multiple DVDs. You can use NeroVision Express for this purpose.

| hello all and thank you for your responses. I have an avi video file which is 5hrs in length and wish to burn it so it can play in other dvd players (sorry should of stated that before).

It's possible to squeeze 5 hours of video onto a single 4.7 GB DVD, but I wouldn't recommend it. Instead I suggest you use 2 DVDs or perhaps a single 8.5 GB DVD if you don't care about the higher price. NeroVision Express is one of my least favourite programs because I find it to be very buggy, but unless you get bitten by one of its bugs, it will do what you want.
