Can somebody Help? please

Hi, I have windows XP, i have a DVD writer on here but for some reason it says all my DVD files are too big to fit on disc, they are 4.7 gig disc's so i don't see how that could be.

does anyone kno a program that's reputable i can download that will allow me to put films i've put on my pc onto dvd

cheers!

Most full length films will be 7 or more gbs or more so you need a dual layer writer and dual layer media, that or a compression program. A little googling will get you what you want.

DVD Shrink does everything i need. I compress my DVD 9s to DVD 5s since never knew how to dual layer.

videohelp.com is an awesome resource for all manner of burning/ripping questions. It helped me figure out the whole ripping thing.

i use nero. if you burn them with nero vision it compresses it when you add the files if they are too big for the disc you have in the computer.

nero burn is a good utlity.
