[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1644682, member: 234411"] Hello and welcome to the forum! :) Regarding your 2 TB external HD, what is the file format? If FAT32, then there is a 4 GB file size limit. Now, for a 17 GB movie - if you want it on one disc, then blu-ray is your only option; even a dual layer DVD will hold just 8.5 GB - don't know if the file can be compressed further, but those are the disc requirements. Take a look at the offering from [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSSBDR6XT/"]Other World Computing[/URL] and the attached pic from their website - see blue arrow for size limits for a BD vs. a dual-layer DVD - this comes w/ an excellent optical disc program which I used a LOT (not for movies) when on PCs - hopefully some experienced users of this software will 'chime in' w/ advice. Of course, if you do go the BD route, those watching the movie will need a BD player which are cheap these days. Good luck - Dave . [ATTACH=full]21930[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
