I want to give many thanks to my extended Afterdawn family for assisting me in ripping and burning my first dvd. This is the method I used and it work fine..... Oh, does it matter if I used DVD-R or DVD+R, I made my first with a DVD-RW disk.
This is from a member. Was not sure if it was okay to use a name.
"This is the way I do it and it's very simple....really.
First goto ImgBurn.com and download ImgBurn and install it (it's free and creates perfect DVDs form an ISO image which DVDshrink will create for you).
Once you have the video files on your HDD (in the VIDEO_TS folder) after using DVDFab Decrypter, close DVDFab Decrypter and open DVDshrink. Choose the Open Files option and browse to the VIDEO_TS folder, highlight the folder and press ok/open. I'm assuming you're backing up the whole movie, click on the backup tab and choose your backup options, here it's important to choose to save target as an ISO image for burning then choose the location to store the image on your HDD. Once all other choices have been made press ok to begin the backup process.
When DVDshrink is done you should have an ISO image on your HDD ready for burning, that's where ImgBurn comes in. Close DVDshrink and open ImgBurn, in the main window simply choose the source file(ISO image created by DVDshrink), choose the destination (DVD burner you are using), choose write speed (use 4X for write speed), insert your DVD+R media and press the "HDD to Disk" icon in the window. ImgBurn will now burn the ISO image onto the DVD, once complete you should be able to watch the DVD on any set top player. Works every time for me, DVDshrink makes great video quality backups.
Enjoy...."

You are very welcome,
Although I'm new to this forum, I've been doing this for approx. 3 years now and have learned alot along the way. I'm more than happy to share what I know and 9 times out of 10 I can sove any problem while trying to keep the explanation simple (that's the challenge). Happy burning mrnat!
I make my copies using DVD+Rs and/or DVD-Rs only, RWs are better suited for adding and removing data files not for DVD backups.
Happy Holidays.

Please one last question from a "newbie". Can I make direct copies from a DVD that has already been decoded and shrink or must I repeat the same process again? I am thinking once it has been decoded and compressed, I should be able to make a 1:1 ratio copy from the source to target. Please correct me if I am wrong... Thank you!

there are a few ways to do it, ie my personal favourite is to simply copy/paste contents of the video_ts folder from the backed up movie to the hard drive (as encryption/shrinking all done already), then burn to another blank disc with burning program of choice
Main PC ~ Intel C2Q Q6600 (G0 Stepping)/Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3/2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500/Zalman CNPS9700/Antec 900/Corsair HX 620W
Network ~ DD-WRT ~ 2node WDS-WPA2/AES ~ Buffalo WHR-G54S. 3node WPA2/AES ~ WRT54GS v6 (inc. WEP BSSID), WRT54G v2, WRT54G2 v1. *** Forum Rules *** |
