In Nero there is a program called "Recode" in which video files from a DVD can be recoded or compressed to fit on a DVD+R.
Is there a way to do this with Easy Media Creator 7.5?

you can capture from the DVD with EMC but your question implies you have more than normally fits on a DVD at best qualtiy (1 hour) Ive learned from this forum that you can fit mor than that amount by doing an ISO output--i know ive copied DVDs longer than an hour by copying them as an ISO file, then burning a DVD from that.You can save as MPEg ,ISO or AVI files--Im not sure why youd want to compress,since that affects qualtiy--hope that helps--bob

Yes. Instead of burning to a DVD, burn to the 'image file' (.iso). ( You can burn up to 2 hours.) Then use Disk Copier to 'compress' and burn to a DVD.

However, the quality will not be as good as if you just burned one hour to a DVD.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, that procedure seems a bit indirect so I guess I'll have to use Nero Recodefor that, even if it is a bit buggy. You really can't discern the degradation in quality even seen on a PC monitor.
