I tried dvdidle and also softpedia. both had the same results. Is ok, I will try to work with shrink and nero. maybe i can come up with something that will work. thanks to everyone. Moe
@moe2006 Remove all the unnecessary audios to help with compression - just keep AC3 5.1. You can also try reauthor in shrink to do just the movie only. Another good ripper is dvd decrypter - though no longer updated like fab decrypter. It will handle some of the movies shrink can't. Then there's anydvd which handles anything as mentioned above - not free but has a 21 day free trial. Here's some links: http://slysoft.com (anydvd) http://mrbass.org./dvdrip/ (dvd decrypter) Let's us know how it turns out!
Ok, 1. If Shrink can "open" the disc...then you don't have a copy protection issue and don't need DVDFab. If Shrink can analysis it..first with a quick scan then deep analysis-you're good so far. check under the compression setting tab- select "automatic" the bar at the top should be green. If it is; this DVD will fit a DVD-5, if the bar is mostly green but turns red toward the right end...try selecting "dvd-9" or custom compression...or just leave it. Un-check the boxes under audio that you don't need/want. see if that works. I'm assuming you are trying to backup to your Harddrive before Burning with Nero..the direct burn can be a pain...are you sure you have enough space on your harddrive for the files? You're gonna need atleast 4.7 gig of free space to write the files to. Even if Shrink pops up the warning that it may be too large to fit a DVD-- You're using Nero 7 with Recode...just Analysis again with Nero RECODE and slide the Video Quality back alittle and It will fit, or use a DVD-9 DL Disc.
Ok, everyone how dumb can I be. Remember I told you that I couldn't open DVDFab after saving it to my computer. Well, why not hit the run button when the download starts instead of the save button?? BIG DUUUHHHH here. So, I got it to download. Ran my disk through it, which took a little bit of time, then opened DVD Shrink (that only took 5 minutes for it to encode), opened the files, and clicked backup. Then there was a small box that appeared with a couple choices, one was burn with Nero and gave my dvd drive. Guess what? It actually burnt to the disk that I have. The only problem is that the preveiws have no sound, but the movie itself does. My question is this: I didn't uncheck anything when I ran DVD Shrink, so is it normal not to have sound with the previews? Not that it really matters, as long as the movie has it. Just curious. Did shrink only take 5 minutes this time because I used DVDFab first? Before when I would use Shrink it would take over 2 hours to encode? Thanks everyone for being so patient with me. Moe
