help needed with burning process

[vidguru]

So i heard you can use dvdshrink to compress it, now how does that process work? since i have the iso file already.

That's not recommended, you'll face extreme quality loss!

[vidguru]

so what options do i have? but lets say i did use dvd shrink as my last resort, how does the iso file fit into it if you know

[Copytrooper]

Depends on the DVD writer you own - if it's dual layer writer, and you're ok with dual layer media prices, you can just use DVD+R DL - otherwise it depends on your acceptance of the quality loss. If you shrink 7.5GB to 4.37GB it'll be a huge difference.

i just have a single layer burner, i'm not spending more on a dual layer, but my question is once i compress it what do i do with it. like is it already in an iso file for me to burn or do i have to do something else?

[LocutusofBorg]

as soon as you compressed it with one of the so-called one.click.tools (like
DVDShrink), you can write back the .iso with f.e. DVD Decrypter or Alcohol120%
