Hi i have a 10 gb mkv file i am wanting to put on a 4.7 GB dvd disk am i right in thinking i need to use a program like dvd shrink to get the file size down to 4.7GB ?
No DVDShrink is for compressing DVD-video - and was designed to compress movies originally on dual layer disks to fit onto a regular single layer DVD+/-R.
I don't know of any standalone equipment that will play .MKV files so does it really need to be a single DVD?
If say the MKV file is an HD movie, your best bet is to split/cut the video over a few disks - as compressing it further would just make a mess of the file quality-wise. MKV2VOB will repack the video into a .vob file which playsback on the PS3, and you can also tell it to split the files to DVD-R/CD-R sizes etc.
Thanks ye it is a 1080p file if i use convertXtodvd will it be of a good quality say as good as dvd even though it will compress it quite abit ?
It would probably be quicker and easier to download a new version, either a Xvid dvd rip or a dvd-r.
Does the standard player have a USB slot ?
