    Hello again you helpful bunch. I love using Shrink but i use it mainly for editing TV recorded stuff as it's perfect for removing adverts and other unwanted bits. My only problem with it is that when writing multiple files to disc there is no menu and so if i want to find a particular episode or chapter i have to skip all the previous ones. Does anyone know of any free and easy to use software for writing these files to disc with added menus. Thanks very much in advance.

    If DVD Shrink is saving each episode as a separate VTS file, then you can convert the individual VTS(with its associated VOB files) into an mpeg file.
    Each of the mpeg files can be loaded into DVD Flick as a separate title.
    Each title will have a menu item (if you elect to make a menu) and since the files are Mpeg2 compliant they will not be recoded (has to be set in the Project Settings - Video - Advanced - Copy mpeg2 streams) thus will complete faster.
