ripping my dvds and how to make them smaller size

hi. when i rip my dvds on to my computer. the size of the dvds are about 6.7GB, is there anyway i could make the size smaller but everything else the same.

 

Use DVD SHRINK to ripp your movies to your hard drive. This software will compress that 6.7gb to around 4.3gb

 

ive done that but the size it about 5.2gb now is there anything else i could do. thanx for you help

 

Try this open up DVD SHRINK and then click on edit next click on preferences, click the arrow where it says dvd-5(4.7gb) and click custom and then change the number to 4200mb then click ok. That should do it; by the way what movie are you trying to back up?

 

One more thing are you trying to save the menus & extras?

 

"ive done that but the size it about 5.2gb"

re-run the 5.2gb file through shrink and 're-shrink' it to get it down to size.

Also i would advise you to read up on how to remove extras/soundstreams/credits from your movies using shrink or you will begin to notice very poor images etc from the compression
