I will agree with dialysis 1 that it may be possible to save your menu using PgcEdit and VobBlanker. And while I know about these two programs, I have never in all my copying experieces (I never stopped to count but I'd say at least a thousand) had the need to use either one. That includes copying DVDs originaly recorded from TV on a standalone, homemade from a camcorder, or backing up my purchased DVDs. But if you want to go through all that work to save one simple menu I'd say, "Brother, have at it." It's far easier to make a new simple menu or even complex multiple menus using the software I mentioned in my previous posting. I have done so many, many times. Whatever is easier for you.

Yeah I was looking at the step by step guide on the first page. It looks like quiet a bit to go through. Also it looks like it would take awhile to learn it. I think I will just stick with no menu for now. Might give it shot later on sometime.
I just want to Thank both dialysis1 & Peshtigo for all your help. I have been trying to figure this out for about 2 weeks now. Thanks so much you guys.

Hey, I seem to have another problem. I have 3 more RW discs that I need to burn to a +R. I started on my 2nd disc and done it the same way as the other one. Once Shrink Backs it Up to my hard drive. I go to the file and it says it is 0 KB. So, I double click it anyways and this is what it says: (Choose the program you want to use to open this file:) and it has a list of programs including IMGBurn. I choose IMGBurn and click OK. Then I get this: (Invalid or unsupported image file format! Reason: First image file part is less than 2048 bytes in size.) If anyone can help with this please let me know.

What is the exact name of this zero byte file?

When you used DVD Shrink, did you send the files to a new folder or did you create an ISO? How long did it take? In either case you should be able to open the folder or the ISO with Shrink.

I opened DVD Shrink clicked Open Disc, choose the drive the disc was in and clicked OK. Then hit Re Author then dragged and dropped the first title to the left side. Then hit Backup. I selected ISO Image File for the backup target. Then I hit OK and it took about 10 to 12 mins to backup.
With the first disc I done once it go t finished I could just go to the file. Double click it and it would open IMGBurn for me to burn it to a +R disc.

Open Shrink.
Then click on File and then on Open disc image and see if the movie that you wanted is in that ISO. Try playing it also with Shrink.
What size is the ISO?

When I do that I don't see an ISO file anywhere on my hard drive.

Does Shrink see the files that you want?
Try backing them up to a folder.

Okay, here I am again. Let's look at this logically. If you could open your RW disk with Shrink and see the preview in the quick analysis window all the way to the end of the show then we know that Shrink will handle that file. You chose "backup to .ISO". Did you make a note where the destination of the .ISO was going to be. Strange as it may seem, I've seen Shrink sometimes change that target and it would be easy not to notice if you weren't checking. Now I take it you would have clicked OK which woud have started the encoding to .ISO process. Did you see your TV show encoding in the preview window. Ten or twelve minutes sounds about right for a TV show. If encoding didn't stop and you received no error messages, then at the end you should have gotten a message from Shrink that "backup was successful". If all this is the case then I would guess that you misplaced that .ISO somewhere on your harddrive Hey, it happens.
You could look around but try this instead: Go to Windows Start Menuu. Click Search. Choose "all files and folders". Choose all drives. Type this in the search box *.ISO This will bring up a list of all .ISO files currently on your computer. If you see it make note of where it is. Open ImgBurn, browse for the .ISO and burn. If you don't see it then the .ISO has magically disappeared and you will have to start over from scratch. Also, copying video to your harddrive has a nasty habit of fragmenting the drive. So after every two or three rips I would suggest either deleting the .ISO files you no longer need to save, or take a timeout and defrag your drives. Whew!

Does your disc have a RM folder?
Was the disc finalized?

DVD+RW disks don't need finalizing and that option is not normally available for these disks.

Sorry. I know this is off the topic but I just found this out:
Compact disc? is spelled with a ?C? because that?s how its inventors decided it should be rendered; but a computer hard disk is spelled with a ?K? In modern technological contexts, ?disks? usually reproduce data magnetically, while ?discs? (CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.) reproduce it ?optically,? with lasers. I always wondered about that. I got a little bored wating to help this person. I hereby promise not to stray off topic or misspell disc/disk again.

I found out what the problem was. The DVD title read like this MNW: I tried removing the : part of it and it worked then.
