I have the latest version of shrink and nero(trial so no decode) I see where if you check the burn with nero box it is supposed to open nero when shrink finishes. Mine dosen't, it's no biggie cause I am gonna buy nero when trial is up. Does anyone know if I will still be able to use the stand alone shrink with the nero and its decoder(which is really shrink v.4 but with no decryption) or will I have to rip with decryter then use nero/nero decode? sorry so windy
askyew, DVD Shrink doesn't actually open Nero, but uses it to burn. While burning you will see a new DVD Shrink window, giving you info about the burn taking place. You will still be able to use DVD Shrink normally, whether Nero and Recode are installed or not. Nero Recode requires you to either rip the DVD first (with DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink for example), or use a program like AnyDVD, RegionFree in the background. There is also a free region-free program available called DVD43 I think, but I don't know much about it.
Where is Nero Recode?? I have Nero v6 (new one) Ultra Edition. Do i have it with my package?? If so how do i access it?
gaz_0001, if Recode is installed on your system you should have the usual shortcut in you "Start / All Programs" menu. If you don't, you can download it from: http://www.nero.com/en/nero-prog.php
Nope, tongx, 4.7GB is the maximum capacity. Double-layers recordable are on the way though, but you'll probably need a new burner and the media might be fairly expensive to start with.
guys, im a new user of DVD Shrink, i use the re-author,.and drop down all the extras, i just copied the menu and the main movie., when i check the dvd that i burn, u cant move the thing in main menu, theres no highlight in the play movie,scene selection,deleted scenes.. i cant move it.. plsease help guys,thanx...
tongx, DVD Shrink "Re-author" does not allow for functionning menus. They are converted in the process and play like "normal" video streams.
[bold] hey, i'm new to dvd shrink i just wanted to ask if dvd shrink can copy the the movie with the menus or it just only copy the movie?
stunn611, you can copy the full thing with menus or you can use the re-author mode and take out what you dont want ie the credits screens. Try it! You can download it from this site.
[bold]thanks gaz_0001. i already downloaded it but dont have any dvd to burn right now. also do u know where i can get a guide on how to copy the movie with the menus usin dvd shrink? one more thing, does dvd shrink rip and COPY the movie or do i need i different program to burn the movie? if so what program do u recommend? _X_X_X_X_X_[small]ps2 v7 magic 3.1 sony DVD-+RW DW-U12A TDK & Verbatim dvd-r[/small]
BAM!!! http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd9_to_dvdr_with_dvd_shrink.cfm or http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ ask and ye shall receive,good luck DVD Shrink will rip and compress your movie to fit on one dvd. There are a few movies DVD Shrink will not work with(very,vey few) for those you need DVD Decryptor(free!) then shrink to fit if it is to large for one dvd. I use Nero 6 to burn, as 4 out of 5 shrinkers recommend it, and Mr Shrink has teamed with Mr Nero in the latest Nero.
askyew, that is bang on. I have been using Shrink and Nero and up to now i ahve had no problems with anything, they make a great team and work extremely well with each other!!
I started using DVD Shrink two days back. My first DVD backup was perfect (except one or two places in menu, where it hang up). But In my second attempt with another DVD (spoiled three DVDs), the backup DVD hangs up in Root Menu. Means whenever I ran the backup, it reaches Root Menu successfully and then select anything, it response. I was following all the instructions given in DVD Shrink Tutorials. I have used "Full Desk Backup" and also tried "Back up with Deep Analysis". Same result!!! Am I missing any step?
[bold]hey, first time burnin a dvd with dvd shrink. i played it on my computer usin windows meida and it worked great, but when try to play it usin powerDVD it like play in slow motion. anyone know why? i dont think its a bad burn since it worked with windows media.
stunn611, gaz_0001 is right. Try to run on regular DVD Player. It should work. I'm having the same problem. Not working with Power DVD, but yesterday I tested the same DVD on two different regular DVD Player and gets perfect output. Glad to know that I'm not the only one having this issue with Power DVD. Thanks for ur support guys...
Wee, if the DVD is going to be used on Standalone DVD players you dont need to worry but if the DVD has to work on your PC then we need to copy the original again. Try something like CLonde DVD and AnyDVD. Here is the link to the guide. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/full_dvd_to_dvdr_with_clonedvd.cfm
