    Howdy,
    I am new to the forum and have a question for you experts. Occasionally when I reauthor using shrink, I encounter two or more entries under the main movie heading, indication angle 1 and angle 2. They all appear to be the same screen ratio and without watching each one through they appear at a glance to be the same. Can anyone explain the difference? Thanks,
    Don

    O. K., maybe I need to be a bit more specific. First I open the disc, then I chose to re-author. On the right you have the disc broken into Menus, Main Movie and Extras. The two files I am talking about are under the main movie heading and are exactly the same size usually 4.3 G or larger but both exactly the same size. Like I said in the original post, I have never watched each one completely through but I have jumped ahead randomly and they both appear to be the same. So I am curious as to what the angle 1 and angle 2 designations mean and if indeed there is a difference. Which one should I use for my backup?

    I know exactly what you mean. What I'm saying is sometimes the only difference is the end credits. Both angles play exactly the same execpt angle 1 may have credits in english and angle 2 may have credits in french. Select an angle in Shrink and skip to the end credits, then select the other angle and go to the end credits. Are they the same?
