backing up dvds

[nfixit2004]

Hello to all, I have a question, Iam trying to back up some of my dvd movies, the only thing is when I created an image of my dvd, then try to copy it, I notice that my dvd is 6+ gigs. The dvd +r disc I have is only 4.7. So my question is how do I back up my dvd's(I have at least two at this size(6gigs or beter);
and the origanals are not double sided, so what do I do?

You can try this site DVD_Shrink and be sure to read the guides.

It's a normal thing. We are all at the same point. Your original DVD has 2 layers, the DVD-R has only 1 layer, so you have to eliminate some information and/or recompress data with a software like CloneDVD, for example.

Or.. wait 2005 to buy a double layer DVD writer.. :wink:
