    Comeon, now you're rubbing it in my face, LOL
    I'm still waiting for that movie,let alone wait for the remake of it.

    How about a remake of The Evil Dead? That'd be awesome!

    I kinda freaked out, I put Batman Begins into my DVD-RW rom and it wouldnt read, but I put it DVD-Rom and it worked, so i got the ISO then burned it with my DVD-RW rom.

    I thought there must be a new bug in it that stops it reading on dvd shrink, wouldnt have suprised me, its the biggest dvd release of the year (for another 2 weeks).

    PS: I work in a video store, we put our dvd's out the day they come in which is usually monday or tuesday (monday in batmans case), it was due out on wednesday.

    Just a side note here for those that was having issues ripping Batman Begins. I can now safely say that there is no special protections on Batman Begins at all.

    I ripped the movie using DVD Decrying on Mode, File F successfully into my hard drive without any glitches whatsoever. Then I have Nero Recode 2 to encode, and burned with Nero Burning Rom. Tested it on my Philips DVD player, the quality is awesome and it plays flawlessly.

    @B2D327, what your thinking of is The Evil DEAD II, and its not a remake it's a sequel

    @saugmon, a remake of the evil dead? :p thats blasphemy :p none of sam raimi's works should be remade, they would just suck harsh without bruce campbell in them or even ted raimi in them somewhere

    A remake of Evil Dead is in production by none other then Bruch Campbell himself "Ash" as we speak. As for Land of the Dead I bought it and tried to back it up only to fail 2 times but I hadnt closed out all my background programs failed using shrink burning with decrypter and x copy xpress anyone have a tutorial on just using shrink alone? Thanks

    Question About Batmans Begins Backup . If I save the menus and trailer, Dvdshrink compression is 62.8%.Will the movie look like crap at this level ?

    Thanks

    @Arcain- that's what I said. Apparently the sarcasm was lost in the translation. Evil Dead II is just a retelling of the first with a few changes to the script and characters. I don't consider it a sequel since it doesn't continue from where part I left off.

    @Powell- You can lessen the compression of the main movie by changing the settings in the menus and extras. I personally try to keep the movie to at least 75% and use deep analysis and picture level set to sharp. You'll more than likely see alot of pixelization at 62% especially since there's so many dark scenes but you can probably adjust your tv to hide it.

    Powell: I'd probably use the max smoothness or max sharpness quality enhancement setting that's in the quality tab for High quality Adaptive error compensation.That should improve your backup's quality at the 40% compression level.

    Land of the Dead: Awesome movie.Just got through watching it a second time. Evil dead II,another great flick. Also Army of Darkness! I love bruce campbell!

    Thanks for the tips, is there better software or methods of dealing with really long movies for Dvdr backups.Dvdshrink works 90% of the time but some movie have a high compression rate, even after blanking or reauthoring ? Eg: raiders of the lost ark, at 2 hrs with no menus and cropped credits, dvdshrink compression ratio is 63%

    Thanks

    @ss2trunks, where did you get this info? everything i've read points in the other direction. bruce campbell seems to going more in a director path then as an actor path. last thing i know he was doing was the Evil Dead Video game as the voice. haven't read anything about there being a remake. if there is id love to read up on it :) please post

    Powel: You can try clonedvd or nero recode2.
    I just use dvd shrink along with my oem version of nero6. Movies like The lord of the rings trilogy,I had no problem with those 3 hours + movies using reauthor. These were well over 40% compression even after re-authoring them. Max smoothness really helped out on those.Takes longer,but well worth it.

    AEC quality settings go by the amount of compression. Max Sharp is for 90% and above Max Smooth for 65% and belowl
