Load the ISO file into DVD Shrink:'File' > 'Open Disc Image' and see if everything is there(680.9MB seems small for a full movie) http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm Click 'Backup!' 'Target Device' / 'Select backup target' > 'ISO image file and burn with DVD Decrypter'
Thanks for replying I will try what you suggest. This is in fact an episode of a tv programme and not a film so is it still too small? Is there anyway that the whole episode has been encoded but my dvd burner is just not reading it. I have since burnt another dvd that was not a converted file. Would I be right in thinking that means the burner is fine?
I would expect a 50 minute TV episode of 350MB to be around 2GB after conversion from AVI to DVD. Try this for converting the AVI. http://dl.afterdawn.com/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_v0.5.2b.exe Import the file(s) (AVI, WMV,MPEG, VOB) Output (standard DVD file format) to a folder on the HDD. Set 'Aspect' to 4:3 (if you have a regular tv) Set 'Standard' to NTSC (if you live in North America)
Well Attar I got home and did what you suggested and put the iso through DVD Shrink and burnt the dvd using IMGburn and it worked. Thanks
