You are right michigan on a couple of things:
1)This is a long long thread and contains a ton of different subjects.
2)This thread has a great titles and therefore attracts lotsa posts.
I have this thread bookmarked because it often provides a good reference point - just a pity it doesn't have it's own index.

a 'sticky' is a thread/post that has been put to the top of that particular forum [as it is deemed of impotance to most if not all users...of said forum].
It is done by either Mod/Admin/Da Boss !!
Question time over for now - ttfn ;-)

Hey compgran in my opinion drop Roxio as fast as you can. You may have to jump through a few hoops to do this tho. After you think you have it gone go to this site and download zapper 60. This will tie up loose ends that Roxio left behind. Otherwise Nero and Roxio will fight to the end usually your's.
If you have problems l.m.k. I just jumped through those hoops 2 days ago.

I would like to thank ScubaPete for your directions on using shrink and decrypter Because of your directions I was able to make my first copy with shrink and decrypter. platinum is on the fritz. I'm asking my self if I even want to keep the platinum. I need to ask you if you could put up directions on doing all the download/burn with decrypter so if I/we have any problems with shrink I will know what to do. Thank you Again ScubaPete

hi all, maybe i should come back to the main topic DVD Shrink 3.1.7
I used shrink 3.1.7, and it works fine except the quality seems not too good!( have some big pixels, and many "dead" pixels ( tiny black dots). I know for the reason that it compressed from 7GB (most movies) to 4.3 GB.
"I found out shrink just because i used dvd cloner v1.99 ( it runs shrink in the back, and you only know when your computer is a decade year old )
Now I just tried dvd cloner II demo version. Its output dvd quality is so good (maybe new "engin"!!! )except I can only play half of the disc even the backup in the HD (I've tried all patches on all version they have, but still can not make it work)
Anyone have the same problem as mine ? I need help
Please just tell, and dont put link or anything to violate the rule of this forum. So do I :)

Thanks for the "sticky" reply now I see it is at the top of the forum page. It's a great htread and I hope the Newbies coming on will start here I believe it has everything you need at least once, if not twice.

Hi there xbadboy2,
Welcome to the Club and thanks for the nice words -
I have great news for you - DVD Decrypter is really simple - Too simple by far to warrant it?s own guide - BUT you asked so very nicely, I wrote one just for you -
(Remember though, it is only usable for DVD-5?s - that?s a DVD < 4.36GB)
First, you should, as many of you do already, create a folder for your DVD backup before hand. This is the place on your HD where DVD Decrypter will work on your movie. Try to put it someplace where you won?t forget it - i.e. C:/All DVD work/Pirates of the Caribbean.
Open DVD Decrypter and go to ?Mode?, then ?ISO?, then ?Read?.
Where it says ?Source?, put your DVD drive -
Where it says ?Destination?, Browse until you find your folder -
Click the ?Disc to HD? icon.
After the reading / ripping is finished - Insert your Blank DVD in your burner.
Go to ?Mode?, then to ?ISO?, then click ?Write?.
In ?Source? select your folder holding your ISO file.
In ?Destination? Browse to your burner -
Click the ?HD to disc? icon -
(Now some buddy PLEASE tell me why I had to write this - some things are too easy to explain)
cheers,
Pete
Hi ronan,
I?m glad you?re having such good luck with that media - BUT - there may come a time where you begin having trouble - When that time comes, please remember that you had a super streak - make a note to change your media then :-)
Like the man said - ?If it ain?t broke, then don?t try to fix it.?
Peace,
Pete

A suggestion, let?s not even ?Hint? about ?Bending? the rules, Okie Dokie ?
Now about your poor results with DVD Shrink -
You don?t really need all the extra languages, Directors comments, trailers and such - get rid of those and watch the quality of DVD Shrink go through the roof -
For a totally FREE program, you can?t beat DVD Shrink with a crooked stick in February !
BTW, when you have a few minutes, try DVD2One, most EXCELLENT quality !
Cheers,
Pete

thanks for refer to DVD2One, but it is not free though :)
Anyway i will give it a try.
second thought, as in other thread they stated that if we rip out french audio (some movie), the dvd-r after burn will be mute ! ... I have not tried to rip out french audio but I wish just keep them all.

ok well dvdshrink for 1 its an encoding tool also u can re-atuhor the main moves to back up?if u want the extras just encode the whole full+extras dvdshrink will put to the correct size from 7-8-9 gig to the correct 4.7.2.its for free and its a great tool to do the job and if it is set right it will automatic burn to disc also like nero roxio so on.very simple.
1 major thing.the hardware installed in your system is poor u will get poor results or vice aversa.
i use xp pro,3gig amd asus a7n8x-x pc3200x2 2x80 hdds,radeon 256ddr 9200 series vga card x8 3x pioneer 107x8 speed which of course s/w i use dvdshrink,dvdclone latest version+nero 6.3.10 so if u have a reasonable spec pc- u wan't have bad pixels ,dots and stuff its all down to the config of hardware+keep off your pc.
i hope this lights up things feel free,by the way in preferences on dvdshrink u find the settings to automatically burn ,ok cheers

i just wonder if hardware config can be related to quality orther than speed? The only thing may be affected is graphic card setting!
I run dvdshrink on three different configurations
1. dell laptop pentium M 1.6, radeon 9000
2. p3 450mhz, all in wonder 8500dv with catalyst driver
3. p3 450mhz, all in wonder 8500dv, windows xp driver
all of them still result in dots, bad pixel ( maybe with my picky eyes )
Last night, I formated my HD and reinstall windows ( ie. not upgrade catalyst driver yet) and run 1clickdvdcopy ----> quality is good.
I wish I would have a chance to test on dvd cloner II v2.20. The backup dvd i made from trial version can only be played half of the contain on dvd player even I used "fit to 1 disc". Quality is extremely best. Then I used that backup dvd and "rip" again with shrink ... Shrink only recognized the first two 1GB *.vob's ===> WONDER if dvd cloner II is cheating on "split disc option".! Dont know :(

stalag305 Thanks for your advice about Roxio. I did eliminate it from both of my pc's and currently am using Nero 6.0. Everything has been good since. I am burning quality dvd's with no problem. It's even faster!
I also want to thank all of you. I review all your posts at least once a day. There is so much useful information here! I don't mean to be selfish by not posting information, but I really can't contribute anything. My learning curve is too steep. I know this is a long thread, but I like it the way it is. It's very helpful to a newbie like me. Thanks to you all.

I too am a complete newbie to the whole scene. I have been sucessful thus far with 2 out of 3 burn attempts. I managed to backup X-Men 2 and Thirteen. However it will not backup my 28 Days Later DVD. I believe it is a DVD9 cause it exceeds 4.7.
I'm using a new Dell 4600, Sony DVDrw, I've got DVD Encrypter, DVD Shrink, and Image Tool all installed. However I am not able to burn just the main movie. It seems to want to burn extra footage. When I go to burn I keep getting error messages stating "Unable to find Video_TS file." Even though I see the files right in front of me. Any help would be great. Thanks

mgb1921,
If you satified with the quality of DVD Shrink, you should follow the guide "using DVD Shrink and nero" in this website. I cant find the link, but sure it is in here. It is complete step by step to make successful dvd backup. Wish you luck.
Use only DVD Shrink to rip and compress, Nero for burning.

I honestly dont know why decrypter is needed when Shrink and Nero do the job just fine as one engine basically because Nero burns behind shrink, without having to change programs.
suppose its a matter of opinion but my way is,
dvd shrink - sort the movies (wanted parts etc.)
encoding
nero - burn autamatically through shrink
this combo has burnt even cheap media properly for me. It took a while to find the combo, i just used 'trial and success' (never trial and error!!!) to get the combo and now it works like a dream and they are both free, because Nero is a demo.

yes, DVD Shrink and Nero is a good combination.
mgb1921, It seems to me that the error happen when you add new compilation files to the "video_TS" folder (using Nero). Please make sure you add files to the correct "video_TS" folder, not the title movie folder.

thanks for all the replies. What version of Nero seems to work the best. Should you use the classic as opposed to the express. I got a trail version with the drivers to my Sony DVD burner.

mgb1921,
i found the guide.
If you look in the signature (at the bottom)of the guy with nick "HERBMAN". There is a link to the guide (the 1st one).
+click on that link.
+find the big header "DVD-R"
+look for article "backup DVD-9 to DVD-R using DVD shrink
By the way, newest version of Nero is good. Demo still works fine.
