Used DVD Shrink to encode DVD.
Then saved it as a video_TS file
The "shrunk" files should be saved/moved to a "VIDEO_TS" folder, making sure its name is in capital letters. ;)
For compatibility reasons, alongside the "VIDEO_TS" folder, you should also add an empty "AUDIO_TS" one.

Burned it using record DX
it didn't work
What am i doing wrong?
I'm affraid we will need more details about your procedure, hm1.
What "mode" did you use RecordNow in (DVD-Video, DVD-Data, etc etc)?
Did you get a specific error message when you tired to play the backup?

Let us know HOW you used Recordnow, I use it all the time and fairly conversant with it....
Tell us your settings etc......just like British Rail ----- maybe late, but we'll get you there......
I can run it through step by step if needed, but you may just have an incorrect setting, let us know.....
...............PIO is no go, DMA all the way...............

Even with problems should not be expensive, use rw disks untill the bugs are worked out

RW discs can behave differently in standalone DVD players to DVDR

Hi Guys :-)
Was going to bypass this thread until I found a light in the dark -

I then use CloneDVD to burn the VIDEO_TS file created and everyone comes out perfectQuote:
Thanks guy, you are the man -
hm1 - try CloneDVD - from start to finish with DVDShrink, compressing a 9.2GB, DVD and burning with CloneDVD, 44 minutes - of course the computer resources play the major factor -
My goodness, we're having fun now aren?t we -

Hi all
Well i encode the files using DVD shrink
save them as VIDEO_TS files but discarded the AUDIO_Files (0))k
drop and drag files to the record now DX page.
please explain this DVD data Vs DVD video stuff.
Changes the record DX settings (Prefrences etc) and basiscally burned the disc.
It couldnt be read by any other DVD player except my sony DVD writer.
I've read and downloaded all the manuals/instructions but honestly think of giving up on this who process.
is CloneDVD better to shring than DVD Shrink.
DVD shrink struggles to shrink a 5gb file onto a 4.7gb disc
This stuff seems so long winded and confused.
I'm going to try again and i'll write down everything possible
Thanks for you patients and advice guys
regards
hm1

ddlooping,
My DVDShrinks done with both 2.3 and 3.05b and burned w/ Nero 5.x won't play in any of 3 stand alone players I own; GE, Apex 1200 or CyberHome. Any tips hints or reasons why not?
Queer thing is if I run the DVDshrunk and Nero DVD-Vidreo burned disc thru DVD X COPY 1.5.2 they will play in all 3 players.
Is there a better burning program?
Using a NEC 1100A burner.
thanks-RWG

RWG, what mode did you use in Nero?
DVD-Video, or UDF/ISO?
I've only used DVD-Video mode on a Verbatim DVD+RW disc. I looked at your tutorials before I posted my prtoblems - damm good tuts!
I'm using DVDShrink to compress extras to Stills and put as little as possible compression on the Movie. They all play in my XP2400+ computers.
I'll give UDF/ISO mode a go.
thanks-RWG

hm1,
Use DVD Shrink for ripping, menu and trailers put at 10, uncheck all foreign languages and large audio. Then go back and select DVD and select the compression needed, a 9.2 Gig may have to be put at 8 or rarely 9 but you can get it down below 4.4GB to fit on a single DVD. - CloneDVD is a burning program, not a ripping program - try it or Nero for your burn ?
?P?

ddlooping ...and all,
Update to my DVDShrink 2.3 & 3.0beta rips and Nero burns.
I installed Nero 6.0.0.19 and everything is just hunkey-dorey peachy keen! Recording the Main movie only and all my reauthoring in both versions of Shrink are playing fine in my 3 players. I'm happy.
Now...still need some help. I have 150+ DVDs with the "DVD-BACKUP" notice that 321Studios.com X Copy and Express software puts on a copy.
Is there any ripping or copying software that will ignore the watermark put there by 321Studios software to let me copy my copies? DVDShrink chokes on trying to rip a X Copied / Expressed DVD.
All help is appreciated.

nograde1, Roxio does not have a good reputation with DVD backupers (software conflicts, coasters...).
If burning to DVD-Rs, I'd suggest you try burnatonce, a free and user-friendly software.

I do not know any burnatonce tricks, nograde1.
I have used it as described in my guide for some time, and never had any problem.
The very few coasters I have made with it were all media related.
Could you let us know what happened when you tried and play the backup you made with burnatonce?

Apart from a bad burn possibly due to the media you used, I do not have any explanation as to why burnatonce would have produced a coaster I'm affraid. :(

Guys,
Been following your thread and thought I'd try using my burnatonce program (last used August 11th). Noticed that there were some updates so I did that - now all my spyware alerts are going off (running adAware6, Spybot Search and Destroy and Spysweeper). Have either of you had a problem ? I'm still running these programs as I type this ? besides checking with this forum and downloading burnatonce updates I have had zero exposure -

nograde1,
Have you tried Nero 6? Works great here. I dropped 100 bucks worth of 321studios products for DVDShrink and Nero 6.

nograde1,
Being an original el Cheapo, I started with Roxio 5 then did their upgrade to 6 (made a lot of coasters) also used burnatonce, it was OK until I just did their upgrade ? total spywares =2. I tried Nero?s trial version twice and decided it was well the $$. I've been using Nero ever since with excellent results in all applications. A major plus for me was that with Nero I could use 2 burners at 1 time.
