I have been using DVD shrink on one computer for several months with no problems. I recently downloaded the software to a new computer and while I can get into the software with no problem and open a dvd disk, when I hit "backup", the software just shuts down and disappears off the screen. I loaded Nero 6 OEM suite at the same time. Any ideas what is causing this? What additional info do I need to provide?

Supply the PC specs; i.e. brand, model, CPU and speed, hard drive with size and freespace, amount of RAM with amount available (Taskmanager), and operating sytem for starters.

Dell dimension 4550
512mb ddr sdram @ 266mhz
60 gig hardrive, 4.1 gb free
Windows XP 2002 edition
I could not locate task manager

Also, I downloaded Nero v 7 from the afterdawn website and while I did get one step further in the DVD Shrink process (when I hit backup, the drop down screen now appears) it says I don't have enought memory in my target drive when I say "OK"

A general calculation is to have about twice the size of the source in freespace on the hard drive. Considering the fact that most new movies have near 7 to 8GB with the movies alone running near 5 to 6GB, you can do the math. I'd suggest at least 10 to 12 GB to even attempt an encode without the possibilty of trouble. With Shrink you have the option of using HD files or doing the task from a disc. With a HD source you have the size of the DVD out of the freespace. Then the encode uses a temp file to store the output for burning. Say a fair sized HD source of about 6GB compressed to 4.33 GB and you've used slightly over 10GB of freespace from a HD. If you do it from a drive, that's just more temp space as the source has to be stored and then the output. Either way it's a lot of HD space. 4.1GB is a problem right up front. By the way, what is the CPU in this PC? For the Task Manager right click the toolbar at the bottom of your page, the easy way or ctrl, alt, delete. In earlier windows that would reboot, but in XP you get the task manager, if you do it again you reboot.

If I read this correctly, you need to free up some harddrive space.

I mentioned the space problem.

You read it right and we both came to the same conclusion; not enough freespace.
