What am I doing wrong with Shrink??

I just decrypted a music DVD of 1hour duration and now I am using DVD Shrink but its going to take forever...whats going on?


OK so how do I get this picture to a readable size...please??

 

Music DVD or Normal DVD, Shrink will see them the same, have you checked your DMA settings? That's were I would start. Here's some infor on how to check/change your DMA settings: http://www.michna.com/kb/WxDMA.htm

 

RE:Resizing

*I'm assuming that you are using snagit 7*

You go to snagit editor and find the resizing tool, and then you increase the pixels.

The slow encoding/analyzing:

When was the last time you defraged your HD, MS's defragging software is ok but not as effecient w/ the movement of files as a store bought software. You also can download a 30 day free trial of Prefect disk 7.

And get rid of spyware/malware, you can dl Ad-Aware from lavasoft, which is arguebly the best free (or not free for that matter) spyware/malware remover. and check that DMA too.

 

Thanks for that, DMA is enabled

@glueEater, my HD is only a few weeks old, its 80g, thanks for hint on snagit.

 

OK finally got the hang of photobucket, now you can see what I mean about DVDShrink

 

Everytime I rip a movie to my HD I have to defrag it, you'd be surprised how much effect one movie can have on your HD. I too have an 80GB. And make sure you do that spy/malware thing, first time I ran Ad-Aware I got 80 criticals.

Of course you can always try to uninstall and then reinstall shrink.

 

@GlueEater, I will defrag this evening...aussie time now 1.45pm.

 

I located and fixed my problem, for some unknown reason Spyware Doctor was running...closed it and now Shrink is really purring..thanks to all contributers.
