Hi Enforcer, Welcome to our forum! :cool:

What is the resulted output file(s) from "video edit magix 3"?
as freeware solution for shrinking i would recommend DVD Shrink
and as usually, have a look at our tutorials: http://www.dvdrbase.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=117&page=1&pp=25&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=-1

use GSPOT codecs tool to see if that can tell what file type the resulting file is :)

is the resulting file one file of 9.67 gb or is it several vob files to make a dvd with in audio_ts and video_ts folders ?!

this is the format of the file:
Media format AVi
Video Bitrate 28800000
Frame rate 25.000000 fps
Total frames 71942
media size 720x576
Aspec ratio vga

is that your output file type from video edit magic ?! AVI !?


9gb is still a pretty big file for an avi :confused:

when you make the file with video edit magic what choices does it give to save as what are the file type options :)

edit : you can save out as mpeg 2 with edit magic maby try that as mpeg 2 can give pretty reasonable quality output when put to dvd :)
