mka,

I guess I was having a bad day, I'm sorry I jumped, you didn't have it coming -

Let's start over -
Quote:
1 more thing I just noticed on the compression settings. WHen I removed the check mark beside lets say spanish it adds to the size of the dvd.
If you look, the compression percent goes up meaning you're not compressing as much. 92% = 8% compression, 89% = 11% compression.

As you look toward the right of the window, the "Extras" and "Menus" numbers go up also which is misleading. Actually they are "spreading out" and also require LESS compression NOT MORE -

As for the naming of the DVD, in prior versions DVD Shrink it deleted itself if put in the same folder, just re-type the name i.e. DVD (that's shorter and quicker to type) and yes, you'll have to do it each time -

Cheers and once again, I'm sorry about the flaming -

Pete

Hi Pete

I gotta a problem here, when I start DVD Shrink it opens, I open disc it analyzes the disc. I hit backup and type dvd in both places. Then I hit back up and it starts and all of a sudden it disappears from my desktop. I even hit ctrl-alt-del and it does not even show up there.
Can you please help?
Thanks

Both of what places ?

Hitting ctrl-alt-del is what you do when you're shutting down your PC unless you're running XP, then that brings up your task manager. Why would shutting your PC down make something show up ? If you have XP, what does your task manager say ?

mka,

re-reading this thread - you were using DVD Shrink last month (Sept. 4th) why not do what you were doing then ?

hi pete, I was just giving you the steps I was doing .
I do the steps as below, just as I always have done and now after I hit backup and it starts to back up, the program dissappears.

After I load dvd and open disc and it analyzes. I hit backup and type dvd in the "select target image file" and in the "burn settings" I type in dvd. So it will prompt me and I can over ride the previous dvd, insteaf of creating a new one, taking up space.

In the task manager it does not show DVD Shrink running.
Thanks mka

That's not a selection.

What are you trying to prove ?

Hi, OK let me start over, For some reason DVD Shrink is just disappearing. I have done nothing different. So I was asking your help to see if something went wrong.
So I am showing you the steps I was doing when the dvdshrink just stopped and disappeared.

1)I start DVD Shrink
2)I hit open disk and it analyzes the disc
After the analysing is finished,
3)I hit backup
4)On the tab target device(which is the 1st tab)
In the select target image file. I type
C:\AllDvdWork\Temp\DVD.ISO, So it overwrites the
last dvd-to save room on hard drive
5)Then I hit the 5th tab called burn settings, then
under burn settings in the "Volume Label", I type
DVD.
6)Then I hit "OK" and Dvdshrink starts working and
all of a sudden DVDshrink program disappears from
my desktop. It does not even show up in
task manager.

These are the steps I have been doing all the time and it was working just fine.
Then on October 5th it started this disappearing act.

I hope I am clear on this now.
Thanks for the help

mka,

#4. You don't have to type anything there. This should read the same as the last DVD you backed up on it.
As far as # 5 goes you don't have to type anything there at all. Let that alone :P)

I'll get ddlooping (the DVD Shrink expert) to take a lQQk at it.

Eventually, we'll get it right Lol -

Pete


Until then, uninstall DVD Shrink then re-install it - it's sounding like a corrupt file somewhere :(

Hey mka, you just ruined a great excuse for me to start drinking again - (Lol)

It was driving me to drink, I told my wife, and she was buying it -

No, whatever the cause, I'm super glad your back in control -

Burn on good guy, burn on :P)

It's not time to leave just yet, hang out iffin you have the time, snoop around to some of the other forums, checkout the "Safety Valve", there's usually something in the "Wacko" category going on there -

Always feel free to stop back here at "Newbie Central" and pickup a few more pointers or tricks to make your computer work a bit easier -
(NO, somebody isn't coming by your house to type for you. He's booked up until June, 2009) I was suggesting something in the line of a shortcut we may have come up with (it happens from time to time) OR a new proggy you might want to try - Ya never know . . . .

We'll lQQk for you later, OK ?

Till then,

Sea Ya - - -

Pete
