usually after ripping a dvd with dvdshrink it just haves me enter a blank disc and the burn starts automatially. for whatever reason i got a burn error and now i'm stuck with this disc folder in my c drive and am unsure how to get it to disc as there seems to be no option for it in dvdshrink. i have a full version of nero. where exactly do i go to get this moving going through nero startsmart?
You can re-open the folder in DVD Shrink and try again (Open Files) or if you want to use Nero, run Startsmart and select 'Nero Express', load the files from the VIDEO_TS folder, select a moderate burn speed. Another option in to burn the folder to disk with 'ImgBurn'
There is no ripping (as in copying the files from the DVD disk to the hard drive) required. Originally, you loaded the disk and either clicked 'Backup' and told DVD Shrink to simply save the output to a folder on the hard drive. Or you told it to create an ISO image file. Or you told it to create an image file and burn a disk with DVD Decrypter or Nero. Either way you have a folder with the saved files or an ISO image. When you open the file folder or the ISO, you can elect to burn the disk again, this time it will only take a few minutes to analyse the files before burning begins.
when i do this it says the folder i've specificed is the same as my source folder. i go to open files, select the dvd folder, it uploads to dvd shrink, then i go to backup but i don't see any type of option that allows me to continue the burn as opposed to going through the analyzing process again. can you tell me step by step what i should be doing? i've got a blank disc in my drive ready for burning.
When you click 'Backup' a menu appears. Choose to burn and it will ask you for a name - give it a new name. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_copy_dvd_with_dvd_shrink.cfm
