I have couple of DVD (that are encoded in region 1) which i cannot play on my "home theatre"... but can on my "PC"

which is fine by me (till now)

Recently i bought a DVD-RW so now i would like to burn them, so i can play them in my TV. (is there any way... i can burn the movie from my hard disk, removing the region thng?)

And I the whole DVD is in 8 GB... and here (where i live) only 4 GB ones are available.

How can i compress the DVD and burn it in the 4 GB DISC ?

HELP !!!

Re-encode it in the DivX format, you may use SUPER for doing that, and then simply burn it to the DVD-R you can now would be able to see it in you tv as well..

either hack code of ur dvd player... use videohelp.com or change video format, but req. much time and power... or by any dvd player which supports xvid, divx... go to shop and check ur bdivx/xvid dvdz... also if ur dvd burner supports 16x and then burn dvds at 12x... also depending on dvd writing capacity.. so just check... use simple burner... like on softpedia.com
