    After using dvd shrink as reccommended by this site for many years
    i was recently given a movie on cd-r and wish to copy Backup these
    files unfortunately the files are too big to fit on a cd even though
    they are on the same size cd, is there a cdshrink like dvdshrink that anyone would reccommend using many thanks

    if it's just a cd, those files should fit on another standard 700mb blank. what process are you trying to use? you should be able to just do a simple copy and burn with any cd-writing program.

    Yes thats what i thought the cd-r is 700mb with a downloaded movie
    film given to me by a friend. when i try to copy it it says not enough room and looking at the data there is about 840mb on the 700mb
    disc, has some form of compression or shrinking been used, so far non
    of the programs ie nero etc have been able to copy it. I would happily convert it to dvd files but the process looks like more bother than its worth for one cd copy. even tried saving it to my dvd
    recorder (domestic tv) but that function was not available.

    Are you sure that the disc is 700mb? They do make 800mb discs.
