    Is there a way to use Clone2/AnyDVD/Shrink to get multiple DVDs into one disk. I am trying to make copies of my wedding video (7 disks) and would like to get cut down to 2-3 disks. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Try this:
    1. Rip all the movies to your hard drive
    2.Use VOB-edit to join all the Vob files to one
    3.Use IFO-edit to create a single IFo file for all the movies
    4.Burn with your favorite DVD burning software.
    Hope this helps.

    If the resulting file is too big to fit into one blank DVD,try converting each movie to Divx format to make them even smaller and burn a Divx DVD(you will need a Divx compatible DVD player to view the DVD though.

    5 of the DVDs range from 3.5G - 3.9G, 1 is 1.9G and the last is 2.2G.

    How do I rip these to my HD. Can CloneDVD or DVD Shrink do this? I did not see that option on the software.

    Not sure wbout this VOB-edit. Will have research soem more. Never heard of it. Thanks for the help people.

    DVD Decrypter should rip those DVDs to your hard drive.
    Once you rip all those DVDS to your hard drive you should have a list of Video_TS files(one for each DVD). Inside those Video_TS files are Vob files which you will need to join together using VOB-edit(check the software downloads section). Once joined use IFO-edit to create one IFO file for all. Lastly, burn using any DVD authoring software.

    hi

    if it were me and no cutting bits out was needed i would load to dvd decrypter (file mode) to get onto hard drive place each one in its own folder

    so you have say 5 folders

    then make another folder and rename the *vobs* only in order of sequence needed and drop them all in 1 folder after renameing like so...

    VTS_01_1.VOB \
    VTS_01_2.VOB |<---- first folder / film rip
    VTS_01_3.VOB /
    VTS_01_4.VOB \
    VTS_01_5.VOB |<---- second folder / film rip
    VTS_01_6.VOB /

    and so on all to 1 folder

    then load IFOEDIT and click the button bottom center CREATE IFO (keep destination folder the same as vobs!!! apps abit buggy)

    then load to dvd shrink to compress and burn with dvd decrytpter's burn engine

    all apps free!
