Welcome losmember
Do you have DVD decrypter (a must have), Nero or any burning software?
Post back what you have so ppl here can give you the easiest way to burn.

You might want to download the program DVDDecrypter to go along with DVDShrink, unless you have Nero and want to use that. You will need a program to burn with and DVDShrink does not burn it only compresses. Program is available here

Guide for using DVDShrink is here

Here are other available guides

Try to use good media and keep your burn speed down to 4x.

Here is page from the Scuba Pete Guide the one I learned from

Why not PRINT THIS GUIDE OUT NOW !

(So much easier to work with don't Ya know -)

Next, lets get DVD Decrypter setup so it can burn in the background after DVD Shrink has done its thing - Ya ready ?? Yea, I knew you were Right-o, open up DVD Decrypter and under "Mode" select "ISO, Write". "un-tick"the box that says "Verify". Where it says Source", you'll leave that blank as DVD Decrypter will find the location of your backed up DVD file automatically. Lastly, where it says "]Destination", select the drive where your burner resides. Feel free to close DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink will open it when it needs it. ("Gee willikers Mr. Bill, I'm tired already - this is truly a lot of work." (Lol)

Next, open DVD Shrink, you have the latest version of DVD Shrink so click "Edit", then click Preferences" on this page we're going to select "DVD Target Size]" as "Custom" and set the size no higher than 4360MB - If your blank discs aren't the best, drop your size to around 4300MB. We do this to make extremely sure that our disc isn't too large AND that we're not burning to the very edge of the disc. Then under the "File I/O" tab "un-tick "Enable burning with Nero" then click "OK".

Place your original DVD in your DVD-ROM drive and a DVD blank in your burner's drive. (Of course, if you only have a single drive, place your original in that drive.) When using DVD Decrypter, after you hear the "finished" tune, remove the original disc and replace with your blank media.Then, first chance you get if you have room, buy yourself a DVD-ROM to ease the strain on your burner.) DVD ROMs were designed to read (lots of stop and go involved) and can do a better job of it than can a DVD burner, not to mention, adding years of life to your DVD R/W drive. If you have a CD R/W and a DVD R/W, lose the CD R/W in exchange for a DVD ROM, you'll never be sorry for the trade. DO USE; Phillips, RiData, Sony, TDK, Ritek G04, Verbatim DataLife, Verbatim DataLife Plus, media boasting "Advanced Metal AZO", Taiyo Yuden's and generally, almost any discs manufactured by Mitsubishi are excellent bets. Other media could cause unnecessary errors, only the very best media should be used for DVD Video burning. Now is definitely not the time to put your, "Boy did I save money buying this crappy cheap stuff." in - )

Now let's open DVD Shrink and "click' "Open Disk". We'll have to wait anywhere from 30-seconds to a minute for DVD Shrink to analyze (rip) your DVD. We'll just "Chill" while this "Puppy" does it's thing -

Ya ready ? Let's burn that DVD.Today we're doing a total backup, that's all the things on the original disc. There's no problem in doing this as long as we do not see any "Red" on the size bar at the top, right-hand area of DVD Shrink's program. (If you should see some "Red" there, on the size bar, simply "Un-tick" any foreign languages like Bovine Slobber Jaw, Saturn Ring Worrble, Director's comments or DTS sound boxes until the "Red" disappears.) With no "Red" visible on the size bar we just let the "Automatic" (Default) settings alone. THEN we select "Backup". Take just a second and under "Target Device" go to "Select backup target " once there, select "ISO Image File and burn with DVD Decrypter" . Now, under "Quality Settings", if it's SPEED you're after, "un-tick" the box which says, "Perform deep analysis" and "un-tick" the box for "Compress the video with high quality adaptive error compensation". This will give you acceptable DVD backup. If it's QUALITY you're after and have some extra time to spend, "tick" Perform deep analysis" before backup to improve quality AND "tick" "Compress video with high quality adaptive error compensation." There you may adjust quality enhancements. Practicing with the settings can produce even better end products. For a no-frills DVD's like "Pirates of the Caribbean" I like Extra Smooth BUT for DVD's with a lot of special effects like Matrix Revolutions, I use the Extra Sharp setting. That's for me, you'll have to decide what you like If all the boxes are "grayed out" that's OK, it means your DVD is small enough that little will be lost from the original. Finally, where it says "Select target image file", browse till you find your created folder for your backup and click "Save". That's it ! Click "OK" and DVD Shrink begins the process that burns that ISO image to your HD. What that means is DVD Shrink then opens DVD Decrypter and has it burn the ISO image to your waiting blank DVD. Now this is IMPORTANT - Don't use your PC for anything at all while she's working.

I'M NOT KIDDING ! STAND BACK FROM THE COMPUTER !
