DVD Burning - reduce size of files
I've had issues with trying to burn tv series to DVD and it is slightly too big to fit all the episodes, i.e 4.44gb.
Is there a way for me to reduce the size of one episode, obviously losing a bit of quality, but 40mb should be it anyway. |

Ffmpeg is a good program for changing video quality formats. Mostly drag and drop so not too complex

ah sorry you're putting .avi and .mkv files onto dvd?
http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ you need to purchase the product or get a copy from a friend. it converts anything to dvd. i normally use this to convert my movies to dvd. i use dvd shrink for shrinking dual layer movies to fit onto normal dvd's. sorry for any inconvenience. |

You could always buy Dual Layer DVDs, they hold 8.5gb per disc and they are getting cheaper all the time.
I see umart has them cheap. |

I used Windows Movie Maker - simply opened the file and saved it "for email" which reduced it enough for what i needed, although it became a .wmv.

Is it really worth the effort. Its 50c to use another DVD. I used to have this often with 13 or 14 x 350mb episode series. The time taken to re-encode the episodes for a smaller size very quickly outways the 50c. I just used to put the end of series 1 and the beginning of series 2 on the next disc... Each to their own though
