DVD to USB pen drive
I think I know the answer to this, but I figured I would ask it anyways. I have a client who wants to take a previous mastered DVD (~4 gigs, I haven’t seen the disc yet), and fit it to a 2gig pen drive. They want it to act just like a DVD so that when a client plugs in the pen drive, it fires up the DVD player. From what I gather it is not just a straight video, put the who menu and video.
I am guess that I will need to remaster the whole project, and that there is no way to shrink the DVD to fit the pen drive. My other thought would be that it might be better to make some kind of flash player for the file instead of making it a DVD file, but they may just want to keep it the same.
Anyone ever been asked to do this in Vegas or Architect before? Ideas besides remastering the whole thing?Thanks,

If the DVD is greater than 2GB I would not worry about shrinking it, just tell the customer to by a 4GB USB drive (they cost a wapping $12!). Then just copy the contents of the DVD to the drive. That’s pretty much it. DVD software should see the drive as a DVD since it will have a \VIDEO_TS folder just like a regular DVD.

Thanks John,
That’s what I was thinking. I just needed to hear it from someone else. 🙂Neal Barlow
