Burned the two programs for burning dvd's. Very grateful. Definitely did something - took lot's of room - but didn't work for burning. Have memorex/nero, and when went to burn image the file opened empty, and found nothing, though when I looked through my computer there it was, but i couldn't figure it out to burn, so I deleted the program. AThanks for the effort of providing this though.

wow you give up quick.
What programs did you try?I find it hard to believe, that you have the one computer, that cant burn dvd's.
How about coming back and giving us a little detail on what you did right, and or, wrong.
We like to make success stories,we dislike failure stories.

Providing what?
Jim's right ... You need to tell us more.
Along with what programs you tried, can you provide your system specs(O/S, processor, RAM, HD, free HD space, #of optical drives)? Also post the steps you used?

Well thanks much. I got the shrink and decrypter programs, which I'm very grateful for, but I like to be active and have been around the house all day being lazy, and don't really have the mind for figuring this stuff out on my own, and don't have any good geek friends right now (no in sult in tended at all), so I'm at a loss. When I went to burn images, and went to the file, instead of opening the file into the spot for burning, into the window, it just said video_ts and nothing happened, does that make sense? These things just aren't very user friendly. In the time I've spent trying to get this for free I could have paid 39.95 at least 3 times, if not 12 times. Have had terrible luck with spending maybe 40 absulutely fruitless hours attempting to set up wireless internet, and just gave up on a brand new lite on cd burner, all because they had insructions instead of a wizard, and instrutions came out in gibberish code. It's always something, and I never can get it resolved no matter what I do, or how long I wait on hold...

Since guessing is never fun. Can you start from the beginning? The steps you used for Shrink and Decrypter? I mean, how did you end up the the image? Sounds like your using Nero to burn, right? You know DVD Decrypter will burn ISO's. And in Nero, when you click burn image, when the window opens and it's blank ... where it says "files of type", click that can choose all files. Then look for your folder where your images are. <- Hope that made sense.

Lot's of problems so far. 1: the page in the tutorial is inaccessible to me. I have memorex. Am trying to figure it out anyway. 2: Go to open disk, select d drive, and then it jmust sits there and doesn't shrink anything. When I go to copy disk on the Nero that I do have, as this sounds like the option that should make it do what i want, which is to copy a disk, it says, fuck you, this is copyrighted, nice try.

Also, the shrink won't just open, it wants to reinstall itself every time you look at it, no matter which desktopn icon you click on and it doesn't notice that it is already there. lastly, it offers no way to shrink or do anything at all when you do get it open. Once, I got it to do something, but I don't remember how, and then it just want to do it again anyway.

Oh yes, and, tho there may be the answer at the bottom of the shrink box thing, which I just got to open again, it is so long you can't see the bottom of it, and it is immobile, so I can;t see.

Can you answer this? If not are you at least running XP, Windows 2000 or NT? If yes, open my computer -> right click your local disk -> choose properties .... does it say NTFS for the file system?

I've only got one Shrink icon. How many do you have?

I've figured out the icon thing but still can't do anything with it. I've got 2k pro, somewhere around 19,000,000 whatever kind of units of memory, or free space, and the other questions I wouldn't know how to find out

Perhaps I will just ask this one last person in the morning b4 I give up and take back the burner. See, I would like this to work, but I do not know what a file system is/means and do not intend to start becoming a computer person. I am, for certain, not someone who, perse, has put in anywhere near the time to be one - it is not my destiny to do so, so, if someone who does thinks I don't deserve to know how to have a dvd burner, by all means, don't worry about it, I'll just keep renting movies like the rest of the dumkopfens who feel that computers are not use4r friendly for a reason (profit!) and are not well suited to fighting with them. I am a nature person - I would love to break my fucked up compyuter into 500 pieces. So, if helping me succeed is something you enjoy doing, great, but I have no emotional or spiritiual commitment to thinking that understanding this stuff matters in any way other than to get cheaper movies, which I feel justified in doing for man y reasons. If you want to spell it out for me great, but I don't feel good about haivng sat in the house all day on my day off trying to do this, especially when I feel guilty about it, and didn't get any exercise!

Incidentally, my anticipation that no one really wants to spell it out for me or anyone is why I give up on things like this so quickly in the first place, i've been here all day and haven't copied any movies at all, and the best part is, I knew it was going to be like this b/c it always is. Writing e-mails is as far as I get, and usually have a hard enough time doing simple things, like buying stuff, because no one cares to make things that work, since it's not as profitable

You've got a really poor attitude. I am trying to help. Check my post I did SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU[/BOLD]. Do I have to put it in bold?
And since you can't take my advice to re-read this thread, maybe cause your lazy ... I'll tell you. Look at my third (#3) post. I did explain how to check your file system. The reason I want to know is because to burn an ISO image successfully, your file system needs to be NTFS. Because the file is over 4GB's and FAT32 can't handle that size of file. So once your tell me it's NTFS ... I can give you steps to use Shrink and Decrypter.

And to backup dvd's, your pc matters. Which is why I asked for your pc specs. Have you checked out any guides?? If you use "deep analysis", the movie will analyize twice ... and the second time it will take longer. Right now I find it hard to believe it's your hardware or your software. This stuff takes time, and if you don't want to take the time to learn to do it right, then I for one can't help you.

To check your file system:
Quote:
open my computer -> right click your local disk -> choose properties .... does it say NTFS for the file system?
To check your processor, and ram:
Right click "my computer" -> click properties
To check your HD space:
[Open "my computer" -> what does it say for your local disk? What are the two numbers?

When you first insert the dvd, DVD Shrink looks at it to see how big it is (that was the 5 minute analysis). Then the second time, it actually shrinks the movie, which takes about an hour (depending on many factors). So when you got it to analyse for the hour, you were on the right track.
V9 PS2, flip top, SMD, DVDLoader
Pioneer 107, ritek g05
DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Nero |

can I read?? How dare you you fucking asshole, for your information I placed into honors physics at 14, and computers make me want to shoot people b/c they don't work. You're supposed to be able to hold down shift and selct multiple files and my computer has 100's of gibberish code files for no apparent reason, and the shift thing won't work anymore. An yone who can stand this stuff must be dead, I feel irrevocably someon cidal just from today! You ego prick fuck you, I'[ll take the shit back and leave to you dead people to deal with! fuckin offer somone help and ask them if they can read, can you skateboard you fag, cause I can, and I read the main newspaper at 4, looked up words in the dictionary at 6, and did algebra at 8, so fuck you, it has nothing to do with intellligence, but with how determined you are to being whipped by the machine and looking like gollum by the time you die, cause that's how i feel right now. Personally, I'd rather live my life and go get laid or stare at the river or even go to work to make money to buy fuc\king than talk about this nonsense.

Grateful to livid in 6 hours. Your ego-driven mentality is the failure story, and I knew it would be, b/c most people are like that, like you. Next time, if you're going to be a freak, just let the person give up. Obsessing over making things work when they don't want to is for freaks, so why don't you just be a nice helpful harmonious freak, instead of one that makes people hate machines even more than they already did. I know, it's cause ya'll don't talk to people, you don't have social skills, so you take everything personally and sit around like the pussy whipped boyfriend of you computer. Doeswn't that suck? There is more to life than bieng rude, like, when you're not, things work, the man is subverted, and people thank you, an d don't spread hate.
