Well for now I just used Rip4M to recreate DVD files & folders. If compressing is need and I want the disc extras, I simply move to DVD Shrink (it will only shrink the VIDEO_TS folder so I compress with room to add files to project later in Nero Burning ROM. Using Burning, you get to drom files where needed (VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS + .ROMs Intervideo, .EXE, games, etc. or whetever). This worked with title Tenatious Dwich had lots of file extras.
Again, if there's an easier or faster way, feel free to let me know.
Again, this is only if needing or wanting the extra stuff, we all know we can just shrink to get video ts folder.

You're right. DVD Shrink was written for working with video files. That's common knowledge and why the forum is here. It is a decryption, transcoding and editing program. It doesn't burn. It sends the output to supported burners or the output can be sent to the HD and burned from there. The decryption is obsolete, so a secondary program is necessary. That's what RipIt4Me is for.
Audio_TS in a Video is an empty folder, unless someone adds something that wasn't there in the Video. ROM, or DVD ROM is the universal player format for DVDs. That's often the source of the files we use in DVD Shrink. .exe files are program files, not found in video.
If you have a method for compiling various files for a multi format entertainment disc, it would be nice of you to write out the steps and put the guide in the appropriate forum. I don't think highjacking this thread is quite the place. It's not even the right forum. Such activities will get you in trouble with the mods instead if getting thanks.
a while back in one of the adds inbetween our post (this tread) Afterdawn gave a link to a DVD back up software revies. I lost it and cant find it anymore. Can some one remember the top rated apps they reviewed?
