after ripping my DVD with smart ripper, I need to shrink all those files to fit on my DVD+-RW disc. I open DVD Shrink 3.0 beta 5 and have two choices to deal with. The first is 'open disk' and the second is 'open files'. Since I've already used Smart-ripper, I select open files. I click on the only file that the program will let me (*.ifo file type) and DVD shrink gives me a message "fail to open file....can not find that file type' ? Well, they're all there..... what am I doing wrong.... sorry 'bout the stupid question....
Try using Shrink only instead of SmartRipper and Shrink. Shrink will decrypt as well as compress.
Thats the simple answer, without knowing exactly what you are trying to do.
I ONLY DO WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO I RENAME A FOLDER INSIDE THE FOLDER CONTAINING THE FILES YOU WANT TO SHRINK AND DO EXCACTLY WHAT YOU SAID WITH NO PROBLEM
HINT:
I create a folder on my HD named "DVD Work" and before ripping my DVD?s I create another sub-folder with the name of the movie I'm backing up. (I.e. DVD Work\Pirates of the Caribbean.) When you click "Backup" in DVDShrink, a box will come up saying "Target Folder:? click "Browse" and trace your path back to "DVD Work\ Pirates of the Caribbean " - when DVDShrink is finished, it will give you your VIDEO_TS folder already made for you in your DVD Work\ Pirates of the Caribbean folder and you?re good to go. Now, if you wish, you can burn it days down the road. At one point I had 23 movies sitting there, just waiting for my shipment of blank DVD media to arrive.
When you open Nero Burning ROM, you will be at the ?New Compilation? window. Directly under the title ?New Compilation? is a choice block to choose either DVD or CD, choose DVD. Directly under that click on DVD Video. Then click ?New? in the upper right corner of that screen, NOT the main screen.
You now are in the DVD Video window. In the left screen, click VIDEO_TS. In the File Browser screen, 3rd from the left, trace your path to the DVDShrink folder holding your work and click on that folder. All of your VIDEO_TS files are now opened in the right screen. Click on the top file, hold down the ?Shift? key and then click the bottom file thereby hi-lighting the entire column of files. Click and (holding the left mouse button down) drag the entire column of files to the open screen, second from the left.
Enjoy, ?P?
