did you copy the whole disk (assuming the 2005 version, not 1968), or re-author and do the movie only? if you did the whole disk there are lots of "extras" that add up to way more than the 87 minutes of the movie (see extras below). if you did re-author and selected movie only, then not sure why it would take that long. have you been using shrink and getting much quicker processing? you can look under "compression" and see how much compression is taking place for any particular movie, and of course, the more compression, the more time.

no, backing up the whole disk is not a bad thing, it's just that you may have 25% or 40% or maybe even more info comprising the entire disk as opposed to the movie only, which as you noted, was 87 minutes long. if you now, with "extras", have 150 minutes of material, it will take shrink, or any other compression and recoding software, a much much longer time to do the job. another way to go about it, if you want to, would be to have the movie only on one disk, and the extras on another, probably each disk with very little or no compression at all. it's your choice: extra time to compress a lot, or extra disk.

i guess, on second thought, that doing the whole disk at a high rate of compression could be a "bad thing". IF you notice pixelation or other artifacts when watching it. these things will happen and affect image quality at high enough rates of compression. it also depends on how large the viewing screen is. if you have a 52" tv and are compressing down around 50% or something, i suspect you will see a distinct loss of picture quality... that would be the scenario where you would want to either 1. adjust the compression to as much as possible for the "extras", and as little compression as possible for the main movie, or 2. use two disks, one for movie, one for extras.

@ crazyman1,
Is it taking that long on other encodes too?
Does it normally take that long to use shrink?
The transfer mode might be in PIO instead of DMA

you have a good point on using 2 disks. how do i go about puting just the movie on 1 dvd and puting the extras on another dvd? i have never done this.
300bowler
its never taken this long with shrink on any movie i have done.
how do i check to see if the transfer mode is in PIO instead of DMA?
if it is in pio mode how do i go about changing it?
thanks again

Try running the file through VobBlanker and then process with Shrink again and see if it makes a difference, there may still be some protection/bogus cells left causing Shrink to slowdown.

yeah, like arniebear says, and i didn't notice in your original post, you should definitely run it through VobBlanker after dvdfab... i do it just for "insurance" to make sure things are cleaned up and even sometimes edit out some unwanted stuff.
you can find the guide for using shrink, including how to use the re-author mode here:
all guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/
shrink (one of them): http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_copy_dvd_with_dvd_...
i've included an image of the re-author mode showing that you can drag the main movie over for one burn, and then the extras over for another burn to another disk. at least in re-author mode you can see how much there is in the extras and whether that warrants a separate disk if you want to maintain the image quality in the main movie by having less compression. please note (see guides) that you can adjust the amount of compression for individual parts (main and/or extras), but for the movie you are doing there is so much in the extras that i don't think you will gain significant quality in the main movie compared to burning it separately.
