Yes. Dnld DVDShrink. Afterwards, open the app. Insert source disc and hit full backup. Be sure to name the file, it will want you to create one and it will prompt you for it. You can use the name of the movie. You can then use CloneDVD to burn. In CloneDVD, when ready to burn, click middle icon. Once in, click the browser icon on the far top-right. Go to C: and find click your file. Click ok and begin your burn. That should do it. Holla back if you need more help!
That thought did cross my mind after reading alot of other posts but I still was not sure. I just wanted to stay away from downloading any more programs etc. It seems like after you read all about AnyDVD/CloneDVD they are sufficient. How do you backup a movie with these 2 guys if the majority of movies are over 2hrs?
It did work fine when I burned one later under 2hrs.
If DVDSHRINK is all I need though, then I'm happy.
AnyDVD and CloneDVD should be sufficient to burn your disk. Clone should be able to encode your movie to fit a 2 hour DVD5 disk. Here is a guide that will show you the process
One thing I noticed I did differently, I selected the DVD+R instead of the DVD5. I did not know any better. When I selected the DVD+R it showed the quality at 100%, when I selected the DVD5 it showed a drop in quality on the color scale so I thought I should go w/the DVD+R selection.
The drop in quality on the color bar was because your movie is going to be compressed to fit the DVD5 blank. If you edit out some of the junk like trailers the quality will increase and the bar will go up.
Once you get to around 65/70% you are good to go with CloneDVD. I try to keep it at 70% or above and never have playback problems. You are using an excellent combination of programs. They won't let you down.
