right Deke,

if you dont mind you can sit aside for this one and let some of the learners have a go at this one.

how can I get a 7.3G image file onto a standard DVD, ?

:C

jump on it until it fits?

or use winzip or something to compress the file?

steptoe · May 17, 2011

it wont work if I compress it?

I dont even think you can compress an image file, its a direct bootable file, or directly playable on a normal DVD player.

Steps,

I don't think you can you'll have to use a dual layer dvd.

Doc Hudson · May 17, 2011

Get a 16gig USB stick and forget the DVD.

mmmm,

I was thinking that Doc,(but using an 8G stick!), but it means I still have to stream it from my PC to the nintendo to get it on my TV.

and I dont think my mate would even come close to being able to do anything remotely like that..........

Its a 'dvd' of a music concert.

On a linux box, but i can use windoze or even mac if I have to to sort it.

Or, i could just send it to you. :slap

As suggested above, burn it to a dual layer disk. They are approx 8.5GB.

Will a dual layer disc work in a normal dvd player?

Sidewinder · May 18, 2011

Normal bought film dvd's are dual layer!

Normal bought film dvd's are dual layer!

Expect really old ones that were 'flippers'

Thanks calltronics & canoeboy, will get the xp fired up tonight and give it a go.

And thanks everyone else for the suggestions too.

steptoe · May 18, 2011

thanks guys,

but where do I download it from?

its like the bloody crystal maze out there!!!!!!!!!!

Sidewinder · May 18, 2011

I beat you this time paddler, makes a change!!!

steptoe · May 18, 2011

sorry, mr kayak, but if Mr Adder has it right then we may be in business, 10mins left of compression by the looks of it,

external HDD between my ubuntu and XP machines, so its a bit slow, then back to ubuntu for the burn.!!!!

drum roll at the ready........

thanks anyway canoe.

WOuld have been easier to get some DL DVD's

ianmacd · May 20, 2011

Be supprised if it isn't. Most made in the last few years are.

steptoe · May 20, 2011

Close canoe,

Ian, its not very new!

All sorted now, took two goes at shrinking it though to get it small enough!

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions, and to Sidewinder for e.mailing me the dvdshrink prog.

I think there were copyright issues too?

Or, is that the Nero bit?
