Hi,
I just started burning dvd's yesterday and I have one question...After I use DVD shrink and compress a file, how do I keep the original menu's from the DVD I just backed up? This is not addressed it the guide at http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/index.htm . Any help would be appreciated.

As long as you didn't re-author the disc (the re-author option in Shrink) then the entire disc contents, including the menus, will be on the copied disc.

Thanks for the reply. I've just done a full back-up of my Criterion Collection "Hard Boiled" DVD and it came out great. Thant makes 2 DVD's I've burned and no coasters, yet.

Good. Best not to change anything now.

I'm not changin' nothing, these discs are too expensive to waste. I've also found that compression of animated menus tends to make them a little bit jumpy. on my 3rd disc, I compressed the film and exteas and left the menus as they were. The menus came out perfect and there was hardly any change in the overall disc compression.

Just a hint/observation.
