bklyn1028,
When you click on extras, then on the top right you can choose from the drop down menu to custom compress and compress ALL extras at once even more.
If you click on the + sign you will see each file in the extras from which you can then custom compress each individual extra one at a time. You can also preview them in the window below.
You can also eliminate all of them at once or just some of them by choosing the still image substitution in the same drop down menu on the top right. The purpose of this is so the menu still works even if you remove some extras. This is all explained in the guide above.
The best way to do it is to get your feet wet, play around with it and then see what you still don't understand. Let me know what happens :>)
BTW, in answer to your question, lol, whatever you click on, that's all that the compression bar or still image option affects.
GO VOLS !

Hi bklyn1028,
Here's a little something to help get you started,
To trim your movie a little, you can "un-tick" audio you don't want like the foreign audio streams, i.e. Outer Mongolian, Klingon Slobber-Jaw or Eastern Himalayan Yak language selections or even the Director's comments. This will result in your DVD requiring less compression and a better quality picture. If you would like, as I do, to get rid of all the extras and trailers thus compressing your movie as little as possible (giving you the best quality picture), click "Re-author" then, under "Main Movie" select "Title 1" If there are more choices, look at the time and select the longest one as that is usually the main attraction. Click and drag the "Title 1" from the right-hand side of the screen to the left-hand side, under the "DVD Structure" (DVD) and release it there. Bingo, Bango, you are done editing, giving you the least compression (best quality), backup possible. Now select "Backup" to get ready to finish.
DO NOT CLICK ON FULL DISC OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR EDITING.
Now, if it's QUALITY you're after and have some extra time to spend, "tick" Perform deep analysis before backup to improve quality" AND "tick" "Compress video with high quality adaptive error compensation." There you may adjust quality enhancements. Practicing with the settings can produce even better end products. For a no-frill DVD's like "There's something about Mary" I like Extra Smooth BUT for DVD's with a lot of special effects, like Matrix Reloaded or The Day after Tomorrow, I use the Extra Sharp setting. That's for me, you'll have to decide what you like :) If all the boxes are "grayed out" that's OK, it means your DVD is small enough that little will be lost from the original.
Finish the settings on the General tab and burn to disc -
Cheers,
Pete

Some may think of it as work, I think of it as fun :>)
Anyway, Most DVD backup apps only handle DVD compliant files. If they are downloaded files they have to be converted before apps like shrink, etc. can use them..
One of the reasons I like NVE, it does it all including creating menus, because D/L files are movie only with no way to navigate the DVD.
You could try NVE(NeroVisionExpress). It will allow you you to convert the files(It also converts faster than most of the other file conversion apps), add more than one file, create a custom menu for your compilation so you can navigate and go to any file you wish, set chapters, compress, and burn to DVD all in one app.
It even has a software remote control with which to preview your work and make sure it works and allows you to make any changes you wish before you burn to disc.
It comes in the Nero Ultra 6 suite, an entire suite of audio and video programs which you can use for free each and every month for the entire month til you decide to buy(which I highly recommend). You must reinstall it each month and then you are good to go for that month.
If you wish I have a simple NVE guide I wrote I can give you if you decide to try it. It is one of the easier authoring apps of this type to use.
GO VOLS !

Nero Startsmart is the Nero ultra 6, it runs about 59-79.00 depending where you get it. NVE is one of it's programs.
You must load and install Ultra 6 update packs 1-6, except pack #3,InCD, it can cause problems and unless you use packet writing software you don't need it.
I would try it free before I bought it to see if you like it, tho I'm sure you will. It has tons of audio and video programs.
GO VOLS !

It looks like you're trying to write too much to disc, since you don't have a DL disc and gave it a rewriteable, it formatted your disc to make more room for what you were trying to feed it -
It was looking for "overburn" and you didn't have it -
Quote: What did you convert it with and what did you then compress it with ?
BTW, converting your DL files to anything usable is going to take a whole lot of time - be ready to do it AND - LET YOUR PC ALONE WHILE IT'S RENDERING FILES Unless you want a ton of coasters to replace your DL movies -
Cheers,
Pete
Bigorange, let me know if you saw what I did in his log - I'm still fighting my way through Nero's logs -

TxDuB,
As good as Nero is, it sometimes get's an "atitude" -
Let's try an erase using DVD Identifier - Besides erasing discs it's a super proggy for checking discs and drives -
http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/
Let us know how that works, we may have to uninstall Nero then reinstall it to get it to work properly -

Sorry about the late reply, I've been under the weather lately since the game, sigh.
Pete, I would tend to agree with ya but after looking at the log a little closer and seeing TxDub's subsequent posts I'm beginning to think the problem is his drive. A Toshiba R6252, I gather from his log. I believe this is for notebooks, right?
TxDub, Your burner only burns +RW, so that's why you can't burn +R's without flashing it. Your other posts lead me to believe your burner may be bad. I found a couple of threads in some other forums that are having the same problems with the exact same burner, and some of them got theirs swapped out (for a Sony I believe).
Anyway, here's a support number I found in one of the threads that may be able to help you at least see if your burner is good or not.
THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO CALL!!! Support: 888-999-4747
Also, here is a couple of firmware updates listed here:
http://search.hp.com/gwuseng/query.html?col=alldocs&qs=&qc=&la=en&qm=0&st=1&lk=1&rf=0&uf=1&hpvc=US+-+English&qt=toshiba+R6252&submitsearch.x=9&submitsearch.y=8
I'm not saying yours is bad or to go out and buy another one, but you need to check it out and make sure it's OK. How long have you had it and where did you get it?

A "Flash" upgrade is a method of educating your burner. The only things that can be done to your discs are burning them, formatting them and changing their type of disc i.e. Book type.
"OK, so what is this "Firmware" garbage?" Fair question. Firmware is a "tutor" who's job it is to "introduce" all the different kinds of media to your burner and to tell your burner a little bit about it. What type of media it is and at what speed to burn it. As new media is introduced OR, as the Mfgrs of your burner find new ways to use it, new Firmware updates OR "Flash upgrades" come out to "school" your burner, keeping it up-to-date.
At the bottom of the page look for "What's my firmware? - Try this little tool I found," Download this tool and check out your Firmware's health (up-to-date wise). You can probably get a current upgrade there also -

Firmware, You can't be without it -
A "Pirate" disc is a disc (or really a big batch of discs) which some company buys at wholesale from a Mfgr and then "Prints" a phony name on it and tries to "pass" them off as a higher quality (and more expensive) than it really is - Think of it as the DVD's equivalent of a "Rolex" watch "Knock-off". It may say Verbatim but it's really a no name, poor quality disc.
The only protection against this is to buy from places that have a return policy and use a DVD Identifier on all discs you purchase to insure you're getting what you ordered.
Cheers,
Pete
