    If you used Shrink to get the movie on the HD it should fit unless the output size in shrink was set too big. You may need to rip it again with shrink and set the output file size to 4.3gig. That way it will fit for sure.

    Andy, Jerry's right, open shrink, click on edit > preferences > under target size where it says DVD-5, select custom from the drop down menu. Type in 4300 and hit OK. Then re-rip the movie with shrink and it should fit.

    If this is a downloaded movie file it is piracy and can't be discussed on AD. Besides that, shrink can't deal with AVI files, they must be converted to DVD compliant files, that's why shrink can't see 'em.
