I've been using Shrink now for about 5 years and this has never happened. I was ready to encode files that were certainly larger than what will fit on a single layer DVD... so they had to be compressed. Since I always do two passes I checked the settings to find it ghosted out. The second setting was available. I reinstalled over the existing program... same problem. So I uninstalled then reinstalled. The two-pass option was there. But the problem is back again.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

"Deep Analysis

The deep analysis option will encode your DVD in two passes. This will take significantly longer, but it serves two purposes:

1. It will improve video quality by allowing DVD Shrink to better distribute the required compression throughout the various scenes in your DVD.

2. It will ensure that DVD Shrink accurately meets the target size.

This option will be disabled if you already performed a deep analysis of the same DVD. DVD Shrink will remember the results of previous analysis, so there is no need to do it again. This option will also be disabled if no compression is required.
"

The reason why the option is grayed out is probably because DVD Shrink already did a deep analysis on that certain DVD.

Thanks cyprusrom. Ya, while I had deleted all the analysis files, another must have been created and that was behind the problem.

Like I said, there's no point in deleting analysis files.

Yeah, I figured he must've said in some other thread)))...Didn't know if he got lost or if he and the OP were acquainted from a different thread, but really didn't care to find out, didn't feel like being bothered to do a search)))...

And yes you are right, lately there's so much emphases on ESP, mind reading and stuff like that around these forums...I feel so out of place))))
Times change, people used to ask a decent question when expecting a decent answer, now is all riddles and puzzles you have to put together to be able to help...And don't dare asking for more info, they get snappy...

The actual reason is, that the DVD is small enough to fit on the blank DVD-R so there's no compression and thus no Deep Analysis necessary. DVD Shrink has determined that by doing a short analysis when reading the DVD for the first time.

...if that is true, then if you are a mind reader))), which means the OP was jacked up on spiced up brownies:
