Question about DVD-R files

[AlexisB]

The DVD-R files we have here can be burned on discs and play on devices other than computers right?

Also, how can we burn files with larger than 4.7 GB?

Yes, if they have been posted with the full DVD structure you can burn them with DVD burning software.

For larger DVDs you could try a shrinking program such as DVD Shrink (old but still works - if you go to their site DON'T click on the 'Optimize Performance' button.

Other software is around to shrink to fit. Or you could use dual-layer DVDs (more expensive and check your player can play them. Or you could rip the DVD on your hard disk as people do to post a smaller version, say as an .mp4.

Hope that's a start for you
