Thank you all for your help. I'm trying DVD Shrink as a potential backup for my DVD X Copy whenever it stops working. But do any of these programs work with DVD Shrink? I did the shrink part of it and then it wanted to go to burn but it seemed it only gave me the option of using Nero and nothing else. Do I just have to shrink it to my hard drive and then use seperate burner software? I would of course prefer a free version of any software because I'm cheap. Thanks for you help
@fm37212 The steps u can take are: 1. use Decrypter to rip to c:\ drive (create a new folder though) 2. use shrink to compress the rip on the drive just create a new folder and put the compressed version in it. (this may take awhike to compress.(takes me an hour) 3. U can use a seprate program to burn to DVD like Clone DVD or Nero software,(apparently works well with shrink) or just burn it back to DVD with Decrypter I personally have not used Decrypter to burn it back on DVD, but if it wrks try it. I like the safer options where i can keep everything includin menus speacial features etc... (takes longer but works like a charm.
@fm37212 Download DVD Decrypter to use as your burn program. Follow this guide for the whole process http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/backup with Decrypter&Shrink.pdf
... I've used DVD Decrypter (in file mode) to rip to harddrive, then DVD Shrink to shrink to size, then DVD Decrypter to burn to DVD for 100s of successful backups ... I highly recommend the combo ...
fm37212: There are several sites where you can get OEM Nero suites for $5 - $8. I would suggest Suite 3 because it includes Recode2... Actually there is a link in the ads on this page...
