8GB iso/image fits 4.7GB DvD-r


Is there anyway to burn
8GB iso/image to fit 4.7GB DvD-r ?

I have noticed that some windows iso image
when extracted, they are more than their original size.

I wonder how they did that ?

I have an 8GB iso of videos I want to burn them into 4.7GB DvD-r.
In other way I want to save some money

I did search in Google, but I didn't find any useful answer.

NO you cant burn 8gb into 4.7gb without quality loss. You can try using something like dvdshrink.

[stone27]

yes of course you must compress it to 4.7gb and this result in loss of some quality and may may damage it then burn it using nero

Its an iso image and not video,
In other words, How can I compress
the iso image ?

Re-encoding the videos its not
solution, It will result in the loss of the quality

Dual layer disc should work.

The ISO is already a form of compression. These are usually broken up into (compressed) RAR files. I believe that the size of those RAR files would be about as small as you could get. Any time I have seen RARed files that were zipped, it was of almost no benefit.

If there is a way to do it, I don't believe it has been widely used, or invented yet...

I know that Dual layer disc works.
But if I want to use Dual layer disc;
I will Not post this thread. Thanks

2GB can be burned into 700MB CD
the example of windows xp.iso
when it is extracted.

But How could they make
2GB fits in 1CD of 700MB ?

That is really amazing...

Personally, if you're just going to compress.. then there are lot of softwares.. A particular one, which took my interest was Win - UHARC. I never got around learning, how to use it.. But this software does wonders. For example, I compressed my FEAR iso of around 4.5 gb to 500 mb and FIFA 09, which i downloaded the skulluptra version, also uses this..

Though.. since you're going to burn iso.. then this won't work for you.

But yea.. If you want to just burn it, to fit it inside the DVD and then extract in your PC later.. then this software's pretty much good.

It isn't amazing at all; it's just compression. Games are the same way. Have you ever read the requirements when installing a game? They'll say something similar to "Needs 6GB of drive space for installation. After installation, game requires 2GB."

Also, DVDs cost like 25 cents a piece. Just buy a 10 pack for a few bucks on eBay.

Yes you are right.
That's what am looking for.
How they can do that.

I wish I can buy sth from eBay or Amazon
But I can't. That's another topic.

in my country, 1 pack of 50 DvD-r costs 25$
but the problem, I spend a lot of money on DvD's
Because I download a lot of material from the net.

[l33tpirata13]

gee, did i not say that dvdshrink will take care of your needs? yes, it takes iso's.
