    How to make a more compatable dvd using windows dvd maker OR a single layer disk that runs > 150 minutes

    This is not a tutorial on how to use or obtain the programs involved but rather a method.

    You will need 4 pieces of software to do this.

    1. Windows DVD Maker
    2. Virtual CD v9
    3. DVD Shrink 3.2
    4. ImgBurn
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Set up/install the following programs and Set up Virtual CD to include a virtual burner.

    2. In Windows DVD maker you will select the virtual burner as the output.

    3. In the system tray of Virtual CD tell it (right click) to create and insert a DVD-R/+R/+R DL (one of the three depending
    on your actual media, try to match it. If the movie runs greater than 150 minutes you will have to use the DVD+R DL)

    3. Finish the creation in Windows DVD Maker as you normally would.

    4. When it is finished creating the image you will then insert it into the virtual drive, and run DVD Shrink.

    5. Using DVD Shrink you will make a Backup (DVD image) that has compatibility with older DVD players. (As well as shrink
    a Dual Layer disk to a Single Layer Size if needed)

    6. When finished you can right click the output Backup (DVD image) and tell your computer to burn using ImgBurn.

    7. CLEANUP
    When the burning has finished go and clean up.
    Left click system tray of Virtual CD going to cd management and delete the image files.
    Go to the folder with the back up made by DVD Shrink and delete those as well.


    Any Questions feel free to ask, this took me a bit to figure out myself (as vcd burning hasnt been implemented yet)
