If that's the size, that's the size. If you're doing a straight DVD rip, the disk was obviously dual-layer, so you'll need a dual-layer disk.
What i want to do is rip a dvd to the video ts folder. When i tried Handbrake it didn't create any video ts folders but a mp4 which is probably to put on your ipod. That's not what i'm trying to do. I want to get them on dvds..
What progs do you suggest
Will toast 6 titanium do that? Or only the purchased version?
Moonie, you know all the tricks for video BS.
I'll just PM you next time I have troubles. Fought like hell w. Dark Knight and then found your blurb - after loosing two nights sleep farting around on my own.

Wow, that's weird. My "King Kong" Directors cut is like 3 hours long, yet comes in at about 3.8 gb using the old Apple TV preset (2.5 mbps) in HB.
I must be doing something wrong. This is my first time trying... lol
I'll have to re try. So let me ask you.....
I use handbrake and i can use the apple tv preset but it doesnt do a video ts folder right? So then how would i burn it to a dvd? to use in a standalone?
Oh, I see what you're doing. I thought you were using HB to transcode your DVD to an MPEG-4 file. You're ripping the DVD to disk. What you need next is DVD2OneX (DTOX), which can shrink the rip to fit a single layer DVD. It does so by changing the bit rate (and reducing the quality of the video).
Okay so i can use handbrake and the apple tv setting to rip it to my computer then i can use either dvd2onex or toast 9 titanium to shrink?
Am i getting this right? Or do i need to do something that creates a Video ts instead of a mp4?
No - sorry, let me clarify:
1. Rip the DVD to your hard drive sans encryption. This can be done with MacTheRipper (and I think Fairmount, but I've not tried it). This preserves the DVD file structure and should be an exact copy of what's on the DVD, except the copy protection should be removed.
2. Use DTOX to shrink the ripped DVD to fit a single-layer DVD. DTOX has a preset for this. You can shrink the entire DVD, or just the main title. (It's been a while since I've done this.)

Yeah, the Dark Knight stumped me for a few minutes. I'm glad I was able to help.
