3.5 hour movie creates 5.6Gb ISO

[Xymox]

I am having trouble with a 3.5 hour movie creating a ISO that is too big for a DVD... Im using the current beta.

How can I tell DVDFab to make a smaller target ISO ?

[Xymox]

The movie is Chushingura DVDFab is creating a 5.6GB ISO when it clearly says its target is 4.3GB

please download 6.0.7.0, be sure dvd5 is selected as the quality setting.

[Xymox]

Thanks,

But 6.0.6.9 is the latest beta posted.. I guess 6.0.7.0 will appear shortly

[Xymox]

Oops 6.0.7.0 is out.... hehehehe....

[Xymox]

Same problem..

It outputs a 5.63GB iso

If I could change the target size, or quality, then I could get the disc copied.

Do you have the PAID version of DVD to DVD because the FREE version does not compress?

[Xymox]

I am a paid user. Every other dvd I have done for a long time works perfectly. This movie being 3 1/2 hours long seems to be confusing the compression.

I think its just the shear lenght of the movie that doing it. 3 1/2 hours..

please post the information contained in common settings, info window. including the title of the dvd if not easily identifiable.

The original file size really shouldn't be a factor in whether or not the movie can be physically compressed to a dvd 5.
Whether or not it is reasonable to attempt or even "watchable" is something else again.

What's the title and how large is the original flick?

//Edit.. Hey Troy, didn't see you there...great idea

[Xymox]

Wow double helpers !!!

One thing I must mention. DVDFab has been a amazing bit of software. It just works. It just works perfectly. Even the beta's. Its GUI is easy to use. Its just a pleasure to deal with. Its rare to find such a nicely done bit of software.

This new forum is quite nice too !

Look even support is great !

This is the first time I have run into a DVD in like 1.5 YEARS that had ANY issue at all ! Its amazingly well done software !

OK The info screen is pretty scant in info.. I will zip up the info files and post them here in a few minutes..

Here are the info files.

If you want I could do the copy and if it generates logs I could also send those to you.

is this the disc?


what happens if you turn off pathplayer?


how are you checking the ISO size of 5.6 GB?

[Xymox]

Yes that is the disc..

Its running now without path player turned on. I will report back shortly..

I normally use Nero Burning rom to do the burning and it kicks out the DVD-R and reports the size needed as 5.6GB for buring the iso..

I also tried the VSO engine directly from DVDFab and it terminated with a error.

[Xymox]

OK, Turning off pathplayer did not help

I also need to report I was incorrect on the file size.. I got my 5 and 6 reversed..

Its reported by Nero as 5643MB to be written when the DVD only has 4482MB available for writing. It wants a DVD+DL to write to.

Windows reports it as 5.51 GB ( 5917 M Bytes )
