Thats to much work I'll just let him watch the original...

 

I just shrink twice. the first time it was in the red and the second shrunk it down to where it fit on a dvd 5 disk.

 

Rip the movie to the Hard drive with DVDFab HD Decrypter

Then Use Shrink to get the movie to fit on a Dvd.

Then use Imgburn to put the movie on the Dvd.

Use Good Quality Media. (But, for a 3yo, Lesser Quality is ok) Imo
Burn at 1/2 the rated speed of the Blank Media
Do Not Surf the Web / Multi-Task while Ripping/burning.
Set The Target Area to 4300 mb
If The Movie is An Eposodic Disk, Copy the Full disk.

Also Run the Movie Thru VobBlanker Before Using Shrink

You Can Try Keeping Your Originals OUT OF REACH

 

Can you explain how you were able to "shrink twice". I know how to use DVD Shrink, but I don't know how to do this.....

The problem with this dvd is that the main title will not shrink smaller than a single-layer DVD. I can't get the compression to go below 55.9%, so even the main title alone will not fit, let alone the menus/extras. Before you ask, no, there's no extra audio that I could leave out, etc. I was able to get the main title to fit on a 4.5G DVD by re-authoring the DVD so it has no menus--just the main movie, and trimming the start/end frames to cut off the opening and the closing credits. But I'm not happy about this because you lose the ability to navigate to individual episodes and all the funny bonus content like the villain gallery, etc.... (and, of course, 2 seconds into the DVD, my little guy says, "Dad, why didn't it start at the beginning?")

I'm really surprised that this wouldn't compress down further given that it's a cartoon. After the 55.9% compression and trimming, the quality is fine... I think another bit of compression would be ok if it allowed me to keep all the content.

So how do you shrink twice? or is there another way to get more compression?

Thanks,

Easy

1) use shrink, out put (target) as hard disc folder (A)
2) use shrink on outputted folder (A) -> folder(B) [shrunken by shrink 2x]

 

or, there is always the double layer burn option.

 

Always a fine choice where quality is desired (also ease)

 

Thanks iluvendo. I had done the 2 dvd's back in june or july of last year, and my mind went blank on how I did them. Especially since I was doing them at work, and had to keep an eye out so my supervisor wouldn't see me.

 

Naughty,naughty !


BTW rtm27, you are welcome !

 

As it turns out rtm...iluvendo IS your supervisor.

BUSTED!

 

You weren't supposed to tell !

 

Well....I did get a call from my supervisor, telling me that human resource informed her to tell me not to bring my laptop to work again!!

 

I saw nothing, I heard nothing !

 

Not if I only have Single-layer burners.... Unless you know a REALLY cool trick!!!

Seriously, I have wondered if people have success with burning to DL DVDs... Do you burn DL DVDs successfully--meaining, do they play reliably on standalone players?

Thanks,

Bob

 

All the DL burns i've done have come out fine. That being said, i haven't done a lot of them. At the cost of the blank media (only used Verbatim) i've stuck with SL burning for the most part. I use Dvd Rebuilder to keep the quality top notch.

 

Thanks iluvendo!!! That worked great. I never would have thought of doing that.... The quality is just fine too! And I haven't touched the target menu in so long I forgot there were choices... Thanks again.

 

I have had very good success rates using DL media, but like 7thsinger said, I also will only use Verbatim and I personally will only use imgburn for doing DL's. I tried Clone and had nothing but failure, with imgburn I have not had a single bad burn.

That said, I've probably only done a dozen or so due to cost, i reserve my DL's for high compression movies only: eg: the Godfather series.

 

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep an eye out for a DL burner... I usually burn on Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs using DVDShrink --> Nero Express 6. Am I missing something not using imgburn (for SL's anyway)?
