Hi am new here & was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to copy my series of cold feet but i don't know how to put more than 1 episode on each disc does anyone know how to do this or what i need to do this & what sort of discs? sorry for all the question first timer & all that!!
Are these on DVD now? You ask a question with a possibly involved answer, or a simple answer. Won't know which without more info on what you are trying to accomplish, what you have to work with, etc.
ok sorry, i have cold feet on dvd now each episode is on 1 disc i want to put more episodes onto 1 disc, have dvd shrink + decrypte i was wondering if i can do this on this software or if i need another software?
Wow, one per disc? You can certainly use Shrink in re-author mode to do this, but you lose your dvd navigation. That's probably the easiest way though if you're new.
yeah i know 1 per disc someone has just burned them for me but i don't want 1 episode per disc but i don't have a clue how to put more than one on now, i will have a look at the author thing. Thanks for some help is there anything else i need to know?
How long are the episodes? You might be able to accomplish this but you will lose some quality. This will take some work on your end. Do a search on this site and google for converting DVD to MPEG/AVI. After your conversions, you then should be able to burn those files using your DVD authoring software. HTH, newtechie
It's easy to do with Shrink. Rip two episodes to your HD. Launch Shrink, and choose "re-atuhor". Now browse to the first episode and drag title one over to the "Re-authored DVD" side of Shrink. Now browse to the second episode and drag it over. Now you are ready to hit "backup!". This will shrink your episodes to fit, and create a new video_ts, or a new ISO that can be burned with either Nero or DVD Decrypter or other burning apps depending on what you have.
Thanks for helping me with this. Right i have saved episode 1,2,3 & 4 to my computer, i have gone into shrink but when i press on the re-author button i go to the left hand side where there is a list of my desktop, my computer, etc etc i click on my folder where i have saved the episodes but they are not there?
when you tell your program to look for the files make sure that you choose to search for all files in the drop down box. You know, like search fro txt files, html files, so on and so on. try that out.
ok i have now managed to put 1 episode into the re-author but when i try to put any more into it they just sit in the drop down bar on the left hand side any ideas how i can get it to go in the list below?
I'm also curious about how you copied them over. Shouldn't matter how you do it, but you need to copy each episodes video_ts to your HD. DVD Decrypter can do this quickly, hell you can windows explorer to copy them over since they are unprotected. I've never had or heard of this problem myself, but I am willing to bet a simple mistake is the cause.
Thanks for the help jigen i have now managed to do it & yes you were right it was a very simple mistake made by myself. this is a great forum i have learn't something i never would have known how to do. thanks again & i am sure i will be back for more fantastic advice :0)
