Okay i'm new to burning dvds, but have been able to do most of them
pretty well, the question i have is that i recently got the green mile and wanted to make a copy and the compression says 61%, should i run a deep analysis? or is that the best i can get it at being a 3 hr movie? thanks for any tips

If you want to do a "Full Disc" backup, then yes do a "Deep Analysis". I would also recommend using the AEC functions as well. It is located below the "Deep Analysis" box. The "Default" setting will work for you. Note though, using Deep Analysis and/or the AEC settings will considerably increase the time it takes, just be patient. Its worth it!

Rule of thumb usually goes, if the compression is lower than "%75", do a Deep Analysis and if the compression is "%70 or lower", use the AEC functions.

Have you tried to "Re-author" the main movie only?

caseyg22,
You can do a movie w/ 75% compression but I would not want to watch it. If you accidentially got the ratios incorrect and meant 25% compression then that should be OK.

caseyg22,
If you read temj remarks he told you to use Deep Analysis starting at 75% ( 25% compression) and to use AEC setting below 70% ( 30% compression). So just follow his guide on compression and you should be OK. He does know DVD Shrink pretty well, well almost as Cynthia might know more. LOL

When I have to compress 25% or more,I definitely use the deep analysis and the AEC enhancement of Max Smoothness. It'll slow you down,but the quality will look very good.

Lord of the rings trilogy was around 40% compression for main movie only.These were around 3 hr movies. My backups turned out near original quality using max smoothness.It's a very nice enhancement.

kwadz,
Using the Max Smoothness it will double your times at least. As far as using AEC it is good especially if you have the larger TV's

I totally agree with AEC for large movies, especially the larger TV bit because I see a before / after effect with my movies.
Before was when I was new with Shrink and only did the bare minimum to get the movie on a disc. At the time I thought it was OK especially for a backup. I learned more about it and now you cant tell the difference from the original. Its like the difference between regular tv and HDTV. Encode does take 2x though its worth it.
