Hello, I have some videos that I encoded using DivXtoDVD, but when I went to burn them to one DVD+RW, the files were too large for them to fit on. Is there any way that you can encode them at a lesser rate so that they can then fit on one DVD?

Largest movie I have encoded with DivXtoDVD was LOTR3Extended - whole movie is so long that it does not fit to one 4.7G dvd. No wonder, as it is originally on 3 DVD and lenght is about 3 hours. But if your original movie is less than 2 and half hours, it should fit to one DVD-R after being converted. If you try to put two or more movies - tough luck, some fit, some don't. And there is no other software that could squeeze them to take less space while maintaining superb quality. If you want to sacrifice quality - DVDShrink will do it. But then .. who wants to look poor quality movie?

One of the Files is 1 hour and 18 minutes and the other is 1 hour and 30 minutes. When converted using DivXtoDVD, the combined total was 6.6gb. I used DVD Shrink to re-encode them and they came out at 4.3gb, but when I went to burn them - the program still said the files were 6.6gb! Any ideas as to where I might be going wrong?

If the actual filesize did not change after shrinking with DVD Shrink - you did something wrong. Check where DVDShrink saved NEW version; your original is not changed while "compressing".
