	Why is it that when I burn a 700 meg .mpeg movie onto a DVD to play in my DVD player it takes up much more than 700 megs even when reduced to low quality (low quality still looks perfect on my tv).

	I guess I don't understand what your asking here ACM. I typically use a program called DVD shrink to compress the video and back it up. then I would burn it with cloneDVD. If I was making a compulation of a series of short video's I use a editing program like nero or now adobe. Try compressing the video with dvd shrink first then burn it. you might want to save an original copy first just in case. Your village called, they want their idiot back!

	^ I see what you mean. What I was trying to say is I take a movie file thats 700 megs. I put into my dvd making software and it says 2 gig left on disk. The disk is like 4.7 gigs. So that means the 700 meg file is taking up 2.7 gigs of space?

	I understand better now, try running the file through dvd shrink. It's been my experience that when files are converted to DVD format the tend to increase in size. I don't know why it does that, I guess I have just lived with it. Your village called, they want their idiot back! ARTICLE X: You do not have the right to happiness.
