    I've got 25 files i'm trying to burn onto a 4.7GB DVD disk but it says file is to large, i don't get it, the 25 files combined are 2GB, why isn't it letting me burn it to a 4.7GB disk?

    Try using ImgBurn.

    To be honest I have never used Nero, but I do know that I and many others have really good luck with ImgBurn. Also, what version of Nero are you using? I know from reading many posts that V8 is really bad news. That is not to say that any of this is the cause of your problem but it is just a thought. One other thing, have you tried a different disk? There is alot of crappy media out there now, use only high quality such as Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

    Yes, I'm usuing Nero 8.. but i've got nero 7 and thats doing the same thing..

    All 25 off the avi files are 2gb combined, i don't understand why it doesn't fit on a 4.7gb disk.

    I downloaded imgburn, how do i actually burn the avi files with that? i couldn't figure it out..

    I didn't realize you were talking about AVI files. Never had much dealing with them. I know that you can burn files with ImgBurn but what I dont know is if that works for AVI files. I will do some more checking on this.

    There are also some guides for converting AVI to DVD if you were interested. One example: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_convertxtodvd_guide.cfm

    You're probably trying to convert them. Try burning as a data disc.
