I cant compress Spiderman3 in shrink/Stomp the Yard....Plz help!!!

Heres a screenshot of my situation..... hope it OK!!!

 

Your picture did not make it to the post but I went to Image shack and found it. Now I see what you mean. Shrink does not want to compress the movie. I really would like to know what the target size is set at in Edit > Preferences > TARGET SIZE . Please tell us what version of DVD Fab you are using. I had problems with a version a few weeks ago.

 

You can make a DVD backup using DVDFAB HD DECRYPTER, DVD SHRINK, IMGBURN in combination. All three programs are FREE!
Or you can Download DVDFAB PLATINUM 4.0.1.6 BETA version. Has a 30 Day free trial. Very user friendly! Has complete, step by step, tutorials. http://www.dvdfab.com/download.htm
Here's the free stuff:

Any questions?

 

sorry crab56, i dont know why my image never turned up. anyway my target size 4464mb, and the DVDFAB decrytor version is 2.0.2.0 beta....

 

PLEASE - update DVD Fab to this version at

http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm

Either version 4.0.1.2 which I am using now. there is also the 4.0.2.5 beta on that page you can try. I would completely un-install that old version and start fresh with the new one. Delete that Spidey 3 file and RE-RIP the disc. Open Shrink and try again. If this does not do it then I'll find out what's up on x-mas when the kids get a new Spidey 3 DVD. First thing I'll do is back it up. Let us know

 

sorry for being such a dope!!!! I mistyped my version.... its v4.0.2.0 beta...............im really sorry crab!!! I thinks thats one of the latest...

If the newer beta version does not work I can't think of anything else. I'll get back to you on x-mas day when I try Spidey 3 for myslef. Merry Christmas

 

Download DVDFAB PLATINUM 4.0.2.5 Beta from the above link. Use MAIN MOVIE MODE. This program is very user friendly! It almost does everything for you if you have two optical drives. The program has easy to understand, step by step, tutorials. Afterwards, if your still having trouble. I would be glad to walk you through the procedure from beginning to end. We are closed on Christmas.
Just kidding.

 

sweeto10
can you open the main menu see why its so big?
i might rerip it with the lastest VS of dvdfab. lately i have been having trouble getting some done with dvdfab. and shrink was doing them fine alone...

Use Shrink to convert to image file.When finished run new image file through dvd shrink again.This should fix the problem.I have run into this same problem on a few discs .

 

Thank you pretherf, i think you have just solved my problem. I chose the burn ISO Image option and its compressed spidey3 to 4.5gb in 6 minutes. The only problem is that its created a WinRAR file, actually thats no probs as I just extracted the files and re-opened them in Shrink... finely Ive backed up my spidey 3 movie, with extras, sub etc...

Thank you pretherf.. and thank you all that have helped me. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

 

I am running into this same problem with War. I thought it would be better to post here since no one seems to be talking about this problem in the War thread. I see that both prutherf and sweet has figured out how to get around this but being that this is the first time this is happened to me I dont know how to fix it.

1.) Is this becoming a common thing? What is the best way quality wise to get around this.

2.) How do you convert it to an image file and then run the image through shrink agian?

3.) When you talk about burning an iso file you do that under the backup option right?

Thank you for everyones time.

 

dukill

i never used shrink with an iso file. at least i dont remember doing it.
are you making the output folder the same as the source folder?
but i did these movies and dont recall any size problems

 

Born2ride,

I can not get far enough to choose the output folder because It wont let me compress the movie to fit a dvd. My screen shot looks like the second set of screen shots you posted (spidy 3 and sc3). The bar is green and red showing that it is to big like your (spidy 3). It is set at auto and the % is grayed out at 99%, if I go to custom I cannot change it because the bar is all the way to the left and it wont let me manually enter the number. I will try and post a screen shot when i get home but it will look almost exaclty like your spdiy 3 shot. How did you fix your issue with spidy 3? I had a couple issues with War from the very begining. Maybe I should try and rerip it I dont know. Thanks for your time.

 

the spidey3 was sweet010 pic agaist mine. it was to show that i had 2 movies in santa3 and still was not that big. sweeto10 had 6272mb my file had 3768mb and was 1 hr longer.

if you click on the main tab+ open and see whats in there.
could be a bad ripp.also dvdfab has just updated again. do that too,if you have not

http://www.dvdfab.com/download/DVDFabHDDecrypter4040Beta.exe

edit my spelling

 

I'll update and check the main movie tab and let you know. Thanks for your help, i use to do more backing up until the movies quit working with just shrink. I got back into again because i am traveling more for my job and its nice to have the movies on the go so I dont have to worry about messing up the originals. Thanks. I update you as soon as I can.

 

I just did a movie that I think had same issue. When I opened files in Shrink, I had red space on bar like it would not compress. After looking and not finding out why, I just clicked the back-up button anyway and created an ISO file. When it was done the file was the size it needed to be ( 4300 mb or so ) - I burned that ISO image with imageburn and watched movie ! Hope this helps and if this was is not same problem - sorry

 

Thank you everyone for your help. I dont know what I was doing wrong but i updated dvdfab re-riped it,used fixvts (which shrank it down alittle for some reason) and used shrink which now worked like it should. I am sure i messed up somewhere along the line. Sorry for the inconvience. I do have two more questions though.

1.) when I ran dvd fab it loaded the dvd then It let me rip it, got almost all the way through cam up with an error saying that it needed to use pathplayer to remove some protection. So it reloaded it and reriped it and it was fine. Has this happened to any of you? Is this common?

2.) Can you tell me which audio stream I need to keep in the main there is a ac3 5.1 english @ 338mb
and 4 different ac3 2 ch english all @ 145 MB. Do I need to keep all of them? Do i need to host my screenshot on a site to put it on the forum because I do have a screen shot if you need it.

Thank you agian for everything.

 

First-time poster, long-time ripper...
I've recently had similar problems with the new DVDfab HD.
3:10 to Yuma, Shoot 'Em Up, War, etc.
For example;
I ran War through DVDFab HD (Full Disc) then tried to run it through DVDShrink (Full Disc) by opening the folder with the movie in it. The warning came up saying it was too big, and it did appear to be too big. At first...
What you need to do is press the Analysis Button after this warning to run a deep analysis first. Don't know why but it worked every time. The movie would analyze then would pop up compressed perfectly.
Then it would backup like normal. It takes about twice as long (the analysis takes as long as the backup does!) but it works!

I ran the same movie, War, through the old-skool set-up of RipIt4Me to FixVTS to DVD Decrypter. Holy Crap! It worked. The files it left for DVDShrink opened just fine. No warnings, no problems, no nothin'. (Too bad this doesn't work too often anymore since RipIt4Me has become out-dated)
This leads me to believe there's something going on with this new DVDFab HD program and not some new encryption hurdle the companies are throwing at us.
Any thoughts?
