    Hi ARNIEBEAR and GARMOON and all members contributed
    to this thread.

    Now is the time to look for the DL layer on sale
    to try it out.
    Lots of feedback about the Verbatim DL is better then
    the Memorex DL, any suggestion of what is the
    better DL in the markets beside these brnds?

    By the way, I do appreciated very much of your guys
    spent the time to guide me of the DL burning.
    Keep up with the good works.

    Anthony

    Hi ARNIEBEAR and GARMOON and guys,

    I have other question.
    Since no need to have shrink to compress to single
    layer, Could I just ripped the dvd thru DVD Fab then
    use the Dvd Descrypter to write on it.?

    In other words, could I skipped the Shrink since
    I have no need for Shrink to compress it to single
    layer.

    TIA

    tony,

    that has already been answered in this thread. read. dvd decrypter can only write iso files and dvdfab decrypter only rips files to vob therefor you need a proggy such as dvd shrink to convert the vob files to iso files so that dvd decrypter can burn them. In dvd shrink under edit/preferances set the target size to dvd-9 then after you click on back up set it to make an iso and burn with dvd decrypter.

    Hi Mort81,

    Thanks your reply. I should have read read again before
    I post the question.

    I was so excited to know that I
    can do the DL with the existing program that I fimailiar
    with.

    Any particular DL that your guys can recommend to buy?

    Have a great weekend.

    I highly recommend verbatim DL media. although some can burn faster, I have better results burning at 2.4x (fewer PIE and PIF errors).

    Hi Guys,
    I have a question regarding the IMGBURN freeware.
    I understand this is the updated version of DVD Decrypter.

    In the past, after the Shrink done its job, it will automatically
    go to DVD Decrypter to write the dvd.

    If I download the IMGBURN, how could I let shrink to
    know to write image to IMGBURN not DVD Decrypter?


    TIA

    Anthony

    Thanks arniebear for your quick reply.

    The link you provided to me mentioned about PSL2 wizard.
    Could you tell me what is that mean?

    TIA

    Here is a read on the plugin, it has an installer and you can use to create PSL files for Decrypter that will break the new encryption and there will be no need for AnyDVD. I have not tried it but I hear it works well.

    Hi arniebear,

    Thanks your reply. I didn't install the PSL2 plugin.
    I guess I could just follow the installation guide to
    install the IMGBURN so that SHRINK will automatically
    to write to IMGBURN.

    Have you use the IMGBURN? any feedback.


    Thanks

    Anthony

    Yes I have used ImgBurn and it is just like Decrypter only updated with more support for dual layer burning, which is what I use it for. I usually do not do iso format because I prefer to use Nero Recode for smaller compression and for larger compressed movies I use DVD Rebuilder and then Nero to burn. But ImgBurn is an excellent program and supports booktype and you can control burn speed, you will like it.

    Hi arniebear,

    Thanks your comments.
    Could I control the DVD Shrink to use either DVD Decrypter
    or IMGBURN to write the dvd as my choice.

    In other words, without changing the dvd decrypter file to IMGBURN,
    could I just download the IMGBURN as new program?
    if so, how could I use shrink to write it.

    TIA

    Anthony

    Yes you can use ImgBurn as a separate program and not change a thing in Shrink. I use it this way. If you want to use ImgBurn then you can create your iso file with Shrink output to your HDD and then open ImgBurn manually and burn or just leave it and autoburn with Decrypter as usual. Your choice.

    Thanks arniebear,

    I would like to keep the shrink program and automatically
    write to Dvd Decrypter like the good old days.

    I also like to have IMGBURN as a separately program so that
    I could have extra write program in case I need it if
    Decrypter not doing his things right.

    Without changing the Shrink program which is auto write
    to Dvd Decrypter.How can I ask shrink to write to IMGBURN,
    What setting do I have to change in Shink in order for
    shrink to write to IMGBURN?

    Please do slow on the instruction if you can as I still
    in the learning stage of this technoligy.

    TIA

    Anthony

    When you hit your backup button just make sure you have your select backup target set to iso to HDD

    [​IMG]

    This will put the file on your HDD and then you can choose if you want to burn with ImgBurn

    Hi arniebear,

    Thanks your lighting fast reply. You just made my day
    of the instruction given to me.

    I can't express more enough of the help you have given
    to me and other members who have followed this thread.

    Now I have gathered all these information for the
    dual layer venture. I couldn't wait to see the price
    of this DL coming down to around $1.00 a piece (may
    be by the summmer, do you think the same?)

    Keep up with the good works.


    Anthony

    You are welcome, yes hopefully the dl media will come down in price it has been dropping little by little. You can now pick up a 10 pack of Verbatim for 20.00 when on sale, which just six months ago was double. Good luck to you :)
