i have made a few home dvds for friends ,with four or five small videos on each. i would now like to copy just one of the videos from the dvd onto another dvd as a single but cant figure out how to do it.leo
Open the DVD disk using DVD Shrink.
Click 'Re-author'.
If the videos are individual titles, they will be listed in the right pane (Title 1, Title 2, etc).
Select the correct title and drag it from right to left pane.
You can play it to verify it's correct.
Click 'Backup' and save to a new folder.
If the videos are combined into one large title, drag it as before to the left pane.
Highlight and select 'Set start/end frames'.
thanks attar for replying so quick,done what you said very easy to follow ,But when it came to burn .a real pain nero on one machine did not want to know, and ashampoo on my laptop didnt do it either this is a new dell laptop and their burning software roxio cant even find my dvd drive . dvd shrink is 3.2 could this bbe the problem.althow that end seemed to go ok.leo
The problem isn't DVD Shrink - it isn't a burning program (although it can link to Nero or other programs, if installed).
If the Dell is new - then Dell support should be fixing the problem with burning disks.
Perhaps related, Roxio is/was well known for causing burning problems.
It was known not to co-exist with Nero.
Nero has a downloadable Clean Tool to remove all traces of the program.
Roxio had RoxiZap or similar name - but I don't know if it is still current.
None of the programs (Nero, Roxio, Ashampoo) are well regarded in many sites - there are better, supported, free alternatives.
Try using ImgBurn to burn the files output by DVD Shrink.
If it can locate the burner but fails to burn, check the log for help resolve the problem.
If it cannot locate the burner - and this is a new PC, then DEll should be assisting.
i downloaded imgburn and went through the whole thing from shrink to imgburn went great ,only the dvd standalone player says its an empty disc also my player on the loptop cant read it either
yes attar all you asked worked,was trying to write with a dvd rw wich i might have had trouble with,went back to my old pc and it worked fine since then done one on my laptop using the same method you showed me great job. thanks attar if i need help again il be back ...66 now old head starting to wonder . good luck. leo.
