If you do not have a dual layer DVD burner, then you will only be able to burn DVDs of around 4.5GB.
You will need to shrink the existing image down to fit.
There are a number of ways to do this: remove the extras, documentaries, commentaries, subtitles etc. Sometimes this leaves enough room. I thkn you can do all of this from DVD Decryptor itself - just tell it to copy the actual movie (IFO mode, Edit | Select Main Movie PGC).
If the movie itself doesn't fit, then you need to re-encode the image using something like DVD Shrink ( [Unverified link] ) which will take the DVD files and shrink them to fit, but might lose some quality.

You can also use DVD Shrink which is a hella lot easier to use.
Shrink will either copy entire dvd with extras and menu's and shrink it for you or you can Re-author it by taking out the extras and just shrink the movie while keeping the same quality of the movie itself.
I use it a lot. No problems.

Just note that if you do use Dvd Shrink, it does have problems copying Sony films as Sony has encrypted their films with a copyright protection code which a lot of burning problems cant decrypt.
I heard decrypter will do it, but its a looooong drawn out process.
If anyone knows a much easier way to decrypt the Sony films, by all means, share it. lol

I CURRENTLY COPY DVD'S USING NERO STARTSMART. IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? WHO CAN ADVISE ME ON THE WAY THAT I CAN COPY MATERIAL FROM 2 SEPERATE DISCS AND PUT BOTH OF THEM ONTO 1 DISC. THE MATERIAL IS NOT PARTICARLY FOR A LONG TIME, EACH ONE LASTS ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. ITS JUST THAT I DONT KNOW THE PROCEDURE TO SAVE THE IMMAGES AND THEN BURN THEM.
REPLIES WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED,
COLIN.

re: burn dvd
You need to get some other bits of software. Start with DVD Decryptor. This will allow you to copy bits of the two DVDs onto your hard disk, into separate directories. You then need something to author a new DVD. I use TMPGEnc DVD Author personally.
