Hi There,
I usually create a dvd with 3 avi files each and use best quality when creating my dvd.
I then use (I think it's..) disc copier to burn my projects as iso files. Even if the iso image I've created is over the 4.3Gb size limit DVD copier automatically shrinks the size down to fit on the disc.   The last couple of times I've tried to burn my creations dvd copier won't automatically fit them onto the disc. Can you tell me if I'm using the correct program (DVD copier) to burn the iso files?

Thanks,

Maxy

Maxy, Disc Copier does not make ISO files, it takes your ISO files made in MyDVD (or VW) and burns them to disc.  If the file is over 4.3 gb, then it should shrink to fit as you mention.  I've had a few times where I get a message that I need to use a DL disc.  For me, using my Plextor in the 'PowerBurn' setting sometimes causes this so I set the burn speed to the next lower setting and it works.  I can't say why this happens but in my case, seems to happen after I flashed to the latest firmware.  You might also make sure your burner is using the latest as well.
Can you tell me what message, if any, you get when trying your method?

Thanks mate,
I chose a slower speed and disc copier will now shrink my project to fit on a disk
