This ?Newbie Starter Recipe? is for the most part, is as a complete a package as anyone could wish It?s most outstanding plus factor, it only has 2 parts just 2.
It's second great factor, the guides are picture-by-picture, step-by-step, easy-as-pie.
We will start our dish with a main ingredient of DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5 ?
It's FREE, can do almost everything you could wish in as few as 3 steps - It will rip your movies (gets rid of that ?pesky? copy write protection thingy ;-) in generally 20 to 30 minutes, it can be used for your smaller DVD-5?s and it also allows you to compress your larger DVD-9's to the necessary 4.36GB in order to insure a nice burn without encroaching onto the very edge of the disc.
?But wait there?s MORE !!?
For our friends with just a CD burner to work with, this compression thingy can be used to shrink all but your larger DVD-9?s to a size small enough to split and burn onto 2 CD?s in a mini-DVD format. (We?re talkin? a pretty fair picture here because we?re still working with our VIDEO_TS BUP, VIDEO_TS IFO, and VIDEO_TS VOB files. ;-) Using CD?s now our cost is pennies a movie, how good is good ?
One of the super good guys here on the forum named Afonic has put together a FANTASTIC, can?t be simpler, guide for you with the antsy CD burners to use and here it is: http://users.auth.gr/~ichatzim/minidvd.htm
(Taking a second to grab a breath before shouting out, like that late night
info-mercial announcer ;-))
?But wait there?s MORE !!?
For those who like the backups ?Their way? (a US colloquium, referring to a hamburger from Burger King) it also allows you to tailor your DVD?s. To keep in or remove menus, Director?s comments, extras and trailers (re-author) PLUS it provides you with a nice neat VIDEO_TS folder for you, perfect to have Nero version 6.0.0.23 burn for you.
(Now it?s time to mix in the second and last part ;-)
?OK? you say, wondering why the old guy is sayin? ?Nero 6?.
It?s that mini-DVD thing I mentioned, it?s right there as a choice under the CD heading.
That?s my reason why, for those who wish to burn CD?s that will play in 90% of the stand-alone DVD players and all Windows PC?s. I also feel that Nero is a top-notched burning program.
Nero 5.5 is good if you?re not interested in mini-DVD?s or consider RecordNow Max ver.4.5 or CloneDVD both are excellent alternative choices. Actually, I use CloneDVD a lot, I like to watch the sheep animation but it doesn?t have that mini-DVD thing included ? so that?s why I recommend Nero 6 as the second ?must have? starter program.

Give it a quick try, you'll have a perfect burn this afternoon, really ?
