• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.

DVD Backup Issue..

I'm trying to backup an old dvd that has tons of scratches, so i wanna back it up before it's too late.

Anyways, i was able to extract all the files and everything, but the file sizes turn out to total 5.6 GB.

Is there a way to burn that on a 4.7 GB DVD-R?

no, use dvd2onex, its the best, then use popcorn to burn if you like, it wont need compressing within opopcorn and the result will be better quality.
