There have been a great demand to know how to compress and burn 2-5 movies on to a single layer DVD (4.7GB).
Even, i personally, was in search for this. Seeing the innumerable requests on this thread and also on various other forums i decided to work upon it an find a way around.
There may be some other way to do the same thing. I cant claim that “this is the best method”.
If anybody have got any other method, plz share them as comments or post the links..

Burning a full length movie onto a CD

So, letz look how to burn a full single movie onto a CD (700 MB) and also the most awaited, how to burn 2-5Movies on a single DVD (4.7GB)

1. Buring a full movie onto a CD (700 MB)
(not only 1 movie, you can burn many movies onto a VCD, but the quality will be affected)”

We’ll be using Ashampoo Shrink & Burn to do the job.
In this great software, we can define the output size manually and it will automatically compress the movie.
We are also shown the specifications of target file (itz resolution, sample rate, fps etc..)

NOW, FOR BURNING A FULL LENGTH MOVIE TO A CD, Choose “to use with DVDPlayers” adn select “Burn Movies”.
In the next page, select the appropriate encoding (all options are explained there greatly..) and click NEXT.
Here, u have to select and add the files. The program will automatically compress the selected movies so as to fit them onto a VCD.
(The latest version, 3.x now supports burning Video DVDs too…)
