To use DVD Shrink:

To use Nero Recode:

i have tried that is says failed to open file.. the system cannot find the file specified

 

With Shrink, are you ripping it as folders or ISO images?

 

With DVD Shrink, instead of using the "Open Files" function, use the "Re-Author". For example, if you rip "Movie Only" with DVD Decrypter, the "Open Files" will not work, it will say some files are missing, because of some structure error. Instead, you have to use the " Re-Author"
function to browse your HDD and load the movie in Shrink.

 

none of the files show up to clcik on when i try to re author it

 

this leads me to believe that you might have the movies in AVI format. In this case you cannot use Recode or Shrink, you have to use something like Nero Vision, or ConverXtoDVD to convert the files from AVI format to DVD format.
