i have dvd shrink 3.2 but it says it is invalid dvd navigation structure. It's a homemade dvd so i don't know what difference it makes.

Oh,I don't know then I'm afraid. That's a big shrink you are after too, didn't see that at first.

Is your dvd made up of vob, bup and ifo files?

ACE, if your file is 3 meg and youtube limit is 100 meg, then isn't your file falling well within the 100 meg limit anyway?

If your movie is 3 Gig, then compressing that down to 100 meg, would be nigh on impossible i would think.

If i'm teaching you to suck eggs i apologise, but 1 Gigabyte (Gig, GB) is 1024 Megabytes (Meg, MB).

the file is 250,000 Kb, max upload is 100mb. how does that compute (2.5 gb?)? and yes you are teaching me to suck eggs.

it depends on your compression ration etc etc etc

but DIVX ( www.divx.com ) could be able to get it down by the 66% you want if you have recorded the video in a high enough compression otherwise you would need to start shrinking the picture size to reduce the file size

1 GIGABYTE = 1,024 MEGABYTES
1 MEGABYTE = 1,024 KILOBYTES

250,000 KILOBYTES / 1,024 = 244 MEGABYTES OR 0.24 GIGABYTE

The easiest way to understand it is if you think that 1 megabyte, MB, Meg (all 3 common names for the same thing) is 1,024 kilobyes or kb as your pc will normally show it. For ease of calculation, forget the surplus 24 of the 1,024 etc. and just divide by a 1000. Therefore 250,000 KB is 250 MB, give or a take a few (the omission of each 24 kb in the calc explains the disparity between the approx value 250mb and the actual, which is 244 mb.
