hello. i'm having a few problems that i hope someone can help out with. i'm trying to burn a movie,i have it on my hard drive. when i go to Nero to start the proccess,i get a messege saying that the file is too big. as i understand,Nero recode which came with Nero 7 package,is a tool to shrink the entire file down so it can fit onto a blank dvd(verbatim 4.7gb). so anyway,i go to Nero recode and at the title screen i go to compile dvd,then import files then locate the files i want. i open the folder that contains the movie file,and nothing. when i know there is the file there,cuz i have watched it using vlc. do they have to be in some special format first/different folder? what gives?
if you need and more info,please ask. thank you in advance.

On the bottom right-hand corner of the Recode screen do you have the size set as custom and at 4300MB or thereabouts?

It will only do so much shrinking.
I'm not sure exactly what the limits are.
However, it will not shrink from 6.5GB to 4.3GB.

What is the size of the file(s) that you are starting with?
Are they *.vobs or *.mpg?
