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

It's not a problem with dvdFAB.

Only certain people experience problems with the programs... I'm not sure what it is but it's not the actual program. I have NEVER had a problem that DVDFabPlatinum4 couldn't handle.

Take a look around afterdawn for posts about these specific titles/problems... you might get some more insight after reading specific posts... that's why they are started... to help you out. ; )


Also, if you are using fab, why are you using shrink? I highly recommend you GET RID OF SHRINK cuz DVDFabPlatinum4 is all you need (ripping, compressing and burning) for almost ANY disc in one AMAZING program.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

I, as many others, do not have DVDFabPlatinum4. I have the freeware version, DVDFab HD 4.0.5.0 and the freeware DVDShrink 3.2.0.15. Thanks for the ad, though.

 

And Creaky's not the only one. There's quite a slew of the freeware riders present.

My normal process is DvdFab HD Decrypter, FixVts, Dvd Shrink, ImgBurn. All free.

I'll gladly wait the day or two it takes for new, troublesome encryptions to get cracked, and broken. They're usually on top of it quickly.

 

Get rid of Dvd Shrink, not in this lifetime or the next.

 

Thanks for the back-up from my fellow freebie supporters. Go cheapskates!

Still wondering, though, if anybody using the setup of the new DVDFabHD to DVDShrink has any answers concerning my original question;
Why do the files DVDFabHD output sometimes exceed the capacity of DVDShrink to compress?
As I've stated previously I've been able to treat the symptom by running a deep analysis with shrink, thereby taking twice the time, but as of yet haven't been able to diagnose the root cause.

I am not the only one...I've been seeing questions like this popping up about the new DVDFabHD to DVDShrink method on several different threads on this and other sites.

Brainstorm my fellow rippers!

(Sorry, I realize this is kind of off-topic, but I haven't been able to locate another thread that addresses this topic directly. If you know one, point the way...)

Thanks!

i have been use dvdfab and shrink for over a year now and have not seen or received that message.

i have not done those movies either..
will do them soon.

edit i did Shoot 'Em Up with no problem!

 

I had the same problem with 3:10...until I read this post. Thanks for the help!

 

I guess I should have been clearer in my post . I still use dvd decrypter , dvd shrink and nero . Anything those programs will not do I use a " go video video clarifier " (best buy) with a set top Sony RDR-HX715 dvd recorder.
The error message that the file is too big in dvd shrink is a common one that I have run into before . I use decrypter to convert the files to a folder.Then I drag and drop the files into an open empty
dvd shrink. Occasionally the dvd shrink will say that the files are too large do you want to shrink any way . Click Yes.

Now when that is finished open another empty instance of dvd shrink and drop the file you just converted into it and convert again.The file should now be the proper size for burning with whatever burning software you use.

You must rename the file if using the same hard drive that you used to decrypt with decrypter.What I usually do is insert a 1 (one) between the drive letter and the movie or file name (C:/my documents/1thewaitress) , that creates a new file instead of trying to overwrite the one you are shrinking ( it will not do that it gives some sort of error message )

I did not even try using decrypter on Spiderman 3 but it does still work on a surprising number of movies , even new ones ( I did "The Waitress" the other day . I learned to solve this problem by trial and error as there was a Led Zepplin DVD boxed set that was too big for shrink with both audio streams enabled.

I hope this helps some folks , and that I have done an adequate job of explaining things.

 

If a deep analysis was done after opening the disk in dvd shrink then most likely he could have gotten down to 4.5gb.

 

There is an intentional compression problem with a lot of the new DVD movies. I suspect it will get worse as movie companies lose $. I haven't had a problem with any of the movies mentioned with any compression problems. However I have had this problem with Good Luck Chuck,Saw IV. I use Any DVD,Fix VTS, DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter. I found once I use analysis(DVD Shrink) which someone posted to do on the forum;movies burned with no problem.The analysis lowers the compression from about 98% to 48% which allows it to fit on blank media DVD.Thanks to all for your post..
