How to put a 12 gb dvd file into a 4.7 gb dvd?

[NITESHIN]

I downloaded a 12 gb mini tv show which was in dvd file format and I want to put it into a dvd, but the dvd are only about 4.7gb of capacity. How should I cut it and put it accordingly then into the dvd. Thank you

Either you have to cut it or compress but by compressing it will lose the quality. Cut with an editing software: a free: windows movie maker already installed on your pc which will cut the clips that you want to and divide the video.

There are many video formats, each with specificity. Nevertheless, the video players are not able to read all the different formats is particularly the case with embedded video players such as MP4 players. To remedy this, it is possible to convert (transcode) the video from one format to another.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of video converters:

Get the "Toast" application, if allows you to compress a video file to fit more video on a standard disc. I took a dual-layer DVD and fit it on a standard DVD with Toast.

From their website (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/to...verview.html):

Copy & Convert DVDs. Pass The Popcorn.
Backup an entire 9 GB DVD to a standard 4.7 GB DVD disc. Fit-to-DVD™ compression uses all available disc space to maximize video quality. Toast features Director’s Cut custom compilations, so you can select specific video, audio and languages for your DVD, or convert DVDs and video files for your iPod, PSP, DivX or other portable video player.
