A ScubaPete Guide for DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter :)

Of course the main thing is to download the programs before you can think of doing anything :)

Program # 1.
(Get your DVD Decrypter?s newest version here - )
http://www.dvddecrypter.com/

Program # 2.
(Get your DVD Shrink?s newest version here - )
http://www.dvdshrink.org/

Now that we've done that ?

Get yourself nice and relaxed and follow this here, it's a step by step ? and this baby can?t fail, kweeler than a snowball down the back of your pants (Weeeee, :)

First create a folder for your HD backup work. Try to put it someplace where you won?t forget it (i.e. C:\All My DVD Work\A DVD Mom would hate).

Next, lets get DVD Decrypter setup so it can burn in the background after DVD Shrink has done its thing ? Ya ready ?? Yea, I knew you were :) Right-o, open up DVD Decrypter and under mode select ?ISO, Write?. Un-tick the box that says ?verify?. Where it says ?source?, you?ll leave that blank as DVD Decrypter will find the location of your backed up DVD file automatically. Lastly, where it says ?Destination?, select the drive where your burner resides. Feel free to close DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink will open it when it needs it. (Yee I'm tired already ? this is truly a lot of work (Lol))

Next, open DVD Shrink, you have the latest version of DVD Shrink so click ?Edit?, then click ?Preferences? on this page we?re going to select ?DVD Target Size? as custom and set the size no higher than 4300MB ? If your blank discs aren't the best, drop your size to around 4260MB. We do this to make extremely sure that our disc isn?t too large. Then under the ?File I/O? tab "un-tick ?Enable burning with Nero? then click ?OK?.

Place your original DVD in your DVD-ROM drive and a DVD blank in your burner?s drive. If you have only a single drive, begin by placing your original in the drive first - When it necessary to put your blank in, you will be prompted to do so. DO USE RiData, Sony, Ritek G04, TDK, Verbatim DataLife, Verbatim DataLife "Plus" or media boasting ?Advanced AZO Dye. All other media could very well cause errors, only the very best media should be used for DVD Video backups. Now is defiantly not the time to put your crappy cheap stuff in - )

Because DVD Shrink is so easy we're going to let it do a complete backup. That means we're going to copy the entire DVD. Everything is already set so that all we have to do is click the "Backup" button.

Now, take just a second and under ?Target Device? go to ?Select backup target? once there, select ?ISO Image File and burn with DVD Decrypter" Finally, where it says ?Select target image file?, browse till you find your created folder for your backup and click ?Save?. That?s it ! Click ?OK? and DVD Shrink burns that ISO image to your HD. It then opens DVD Decrypter and has it burn the ISO image to your waiting blank DVD.
Don?t use your PC for anything at all while it?s working. -

I'M NOT KIDDING ! STAND BACK FROM THE COMPUTER !
