I have a movie that is 1 hour and 48 minutes long. I can download it with no problems but than I get a message that there is to much data for it to be copied and to start over and take stuff out. Problem is I can't, I have taken out everything but for the main movie. The first time I was using real cheap dvd's and after discovering this site and upgrading my dvd's now Verbatim AZO, I tried again hoping this would work but it didn't. I am using Clonedvd2 and AnyDVD and until now I haven't had any problems other than using bad dvd's. Can anyone help? Thanks
Run the movie through DVD Shrink which will save it to your HD. Then open those files and run it through Shrink again. That will make it small enough to fit a blank disc. Clonedvd should be able to do that movie on first try. I just did Titanic for a friend of mine which is longer than your movie and it copied OK. Compression was higher than usual but it still worked.

thanks for the info. tried dvd shrink and it did work. i know from looking at other comments alot of other people tried it and really liked it. i know i ran it through once but don't know for sure if i did it correctly by doing it a second time. what was so cool was after it did its shrinking thing, it went and copied on its own. do you need to use dvd shrink for all movies or ones that are to long? after i copied it i went back and added some of the out takes to it. thanks again - BIG help
DVD Shrink (as its name shows) is designed to do exactly that. It will shrink any larger dvd 9 movie to fit a single dvd 5 blank. It is also a decrypter and will work on most movies before Nov. 2004. It hasn't been updated to work on some of the newer encryptions now being used. To get around that problem you can use DVD Decrypter to rip the new movies to your HD, then run those files through Shrink to make them fit. Another way to use Shrink on the new encryptions is to run Anydvd or DVD43 behind Shrink. Both of them are updated to work on the new encryptions. Hope this helps you. Good luck. Jerry
