compress video ts to fit on 4.7 gb disc

Hi, I'm hoping that someone might know the answer to my dilemma.

I own a commercial dvd that is scratched (thanks, kids) and skips so I used RipIt to copy it (successfully!) to my HD in a Video TS folder. Then I used Disk Utility to create a disk image but burning that onto a 4.7gb disc is impossible because it's too big. We just want to play it on a regular dvd player. Nothing fancy.

I'd love to extract the extraneous stuff (all but the movie) OR compress the whole thing to fit on a regular dvd. Question is: do I do that with Handbrake? Wondershare? Disk Utility? Or iDVD? I own all of the above. Suggestions are MUCH appreciated. Thank you so much.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

Hello mggray,

three things you can do:

• recompress your DVD content with Roxio Toast; it has a fit-to-dvd feature
• burn the DVD onto a double-layer DVD ... most Superdrives have that possibility
• if both options are not possible for you, convert the video to DV using MPEG Streamclip. This will require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component. Then split the video into two parts and burn each one separately onto an SL-DVD creating the DVDs in iDVD.

hope this helps
