@Bestmiller, congratulations on your successful "burn". Now you can probably understand why we provided the guides for you to follow and the thing is you did it yourself.
The info you seek about shrink comes "into play" in the Re Authoring.

foxpaws. Lets say you want to copy an image of a website, first you right click on the image, scroll down to "properties". You will see a url under "Address (url)." Copy that and paste it to Internet Explorer or w/e u want to open it with.

The compression ratio is right here as seen above my pointer...
Note the compression is actually backwards...the movie shown in my screenshot is not compressed 100%, but 0%. When the guide says compression is at 80%, it actually means you are compressing 20% and etc.

I noticed that after I backed up 2 movies,I had less space available on my C drive (79.1gb to 52.0gb). Im assuming its because the movies and the files are saved onto my harddrive. Do you guys just erase these files right after you back up the dvd?

If you are satisfied with your final result(burn) then yes, thats what I do, just delete them from H/D
@LocoEng, I stand corrected on the compression question. I check it out butbefore I actually had inserted disc. Cheers.

ok ive been searching through the site and asked a few questions on different forums but I never got an exact answer. I want to try and back up a pc game. Is it the same process as backing up a DVD? All I have right now is dvd decrypter and dvd shrink.
Also, gwendowlin. I don't know if you want to disclose this information but do you have AIM or AOL so that I can contact you quicker? If not, thats ok

oh oh..... thats how stalking begins.
backing up a pc game should be identical, but you do not need shrink or decrypter for most, unless its one of the more popular games with key codes.
shrink if the game has large files, but most are not. but then again, i don't back up pc games, nor play them much, but from what i read, its that way.

As gwendolin stated, once you get a copy that you are happy with just erase the files for the movie. You will also get more help on one of the other forums with the PC backups...most of the people in this forum are more into movies.
@gwendolin
What did I correct you on?

keep what you want, ditch what you don't.... its your back up.
but if i recall, it seems like you're needing your hand held again... the guides tell you this.... or have you not read them fully?
all back up is the movie....
now common sense here..... will you sit there and watch director's comments or not?
what you save and re-author is what you get burned.

hmmmmmm, i opened this link...........
im using a guide (http://bbmayo.home.comcast.net/BACKUP%20WITH%20SHRINK.pdf) but im confused.
the one you have in your reply, and it seems to me, step # 7 says, remove what you want, keep what you like (not exactly that) but anyone can understand that...
and to add this link.... http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=49051
from LOCOENG's sig.... i found several pages of what to do, remove what you want, keep this, settings....
i do believe i am done with this thread.
it's like teaching my 2 year old not to do #2 in his diaper..

@Bestmiller, it seems you have lost another supporter. I have noticed you have other threads going in other forums. It appears as I said earlier you are all over the place and not trying to solve one problem at a time.
You are trying to do too much too quickly and therefore you are becoming confused with the quantity of information coming at you.
You need to relax, take a deep breath, solve one problem and then tackle the next...try yourself and if you fail then call for assistance. Good luck.

Mine's 17 mos. old, so I may ask for your advice soon. LOL
@Bestmiler
Remove all audio except AC3 5.1, also remove any/all subtitles that you dont want or need. If you want the entire movie including the menues and special features, you'll want to apply maximum compression to everything except the main movie. To do this highlight menu on the left side of DVD Shirnk...then in the drop down menu on the right choose custom, and move the slider bar all the way to the left. Do the same for everything except the Main Movie. This will apply minimal compression to the feature film resulting in better quality.

are compatibility issues only with older dvd players? if i have a dvd player that is new (like came out this year), do i even have to worry about whether i have DVD-R, DVD+R, or dvd-rom?

Probably not. In fact the cheapest Chinese or taiwan made players seem to be compatible with most everything. I have had the most difficulty with an expensive Sony player.

Your welcome...keep plugging away.
@drz50
The best way to avoid compatability issues is to booktype DVD+R to DVD-Rom, if this is done there should be no issue. And as stanH1000 stated, the cheaper the better. A $30 cyberhome from wally world will read just about anything you throw at it.
