Yes, as Dialysis suggestes, we need to know what types of files those videos are. DVD Shrink can open and process an ISO image file or a folder of DVD VOB files. If you have AVI, XviD DivX or other file types, you'll need another program like one of the following:

VSO's ConvertXtoDVD: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/
DVD Copy 5 Platinum: http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/InterVideoDVDCopy_Profile.jsp
TMPGEnc Xpress 4: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/te4xp.html#trial
DVD Santa: http://www.dvdsanta.com/
The Film Machine: http://members.home.nl/thefilmmachine/
NeroVision: http://ww2.nero.com/enu/index.html

If you ripped the files from a DVD, try processing them through FixVTS before DVD Shrink. Sometimes there are empty cells that need cleaning up.

You simply drag the file to FixVTS.

you asked what type of files they were? i don't know if this is correct or not, but i clicked on them and looked in 'properties', and all they say is, movie clip and also video clip. i can't see anything that has a . followed by a few letters.

They are not dvd compliant. Obviously you do not own the movie.
