Hi all

I am having trouble shrinking sin city. I have a warning saying.
The currant DVD size is to big, if you continue, you may not be able to burn the resulting files.
Please ensure that video is set to automatic compression, or try disabling some audio streams.


I have tried that, disabled subs, and have the same probs. Any clues people?

Try setting the target size to 4300 and taking off DTS audio. You'll be surprised by how much space DTS audio takes up.

Yeah press edit > preferences > 'Stream Selections' pick a language you want, and you should be set...I also take off any subs in most of my movies...


I'd also like to add that Sin City is one of my all time favorite movies...the best I've seen in years (-_-) lol

This produced no out-of-the-ordinary problems for me. It was rather simple. What everyone has already said is what you need to do. If the target size is 4300 and you remove the unnecessary stuff, you'll have an okay compression rate--that is surely burnable.

As the others said remove all the unnecessary stuff esp the DTS audio.
If you're not already doing so use reauthor in shrink - this will just copy the main movie only and then remove all the audios except for AC3 5.1 (english).

Just 'uncheck' it. From what I remember this one had some large audio's. I 'unchecked' all but AC3 5.1.
Are you using reauthor in shrink? Removing all but the 1 audio in reauthor should do the trick - you can also set your custom size to 4360 - not much more space but you wouldn't burn to the edge of the disc.
