i backed up most of my dvd's to DVD-R discs using clonedvd2, but i have came to a few dvd's that are 6 & 7.65gb. can i use dvdshrink or DVD Decrypter to put these to 4.7gb DVD-R discs? if not, is there any way i can shrink a 7.65gb disc to a 4.7gb DVD-R? i would love some help here as i seem to have hit a stumbling block. thanks. P.S i right clicked the disk drive the disk wass in & it said decrypt with DVD Decrypter, what does this do? cheers

Yes, U should be able to use CloneDVD or DVD Shrink as that is what those programs are meant for, to make DVD-9s(DL disk) fit to DVD-5(4.7gb)
Here are a bunch of guides to do this

Also here is one more

This puts the Movie onto ur HD,
But beaware that DVD Decrypter cant handle the newer protections on newer movies.
Post back for any more ???

dougal79 hi :)
here's how i do
movie only with shrink and decrypter.
you will need AnyDVD running in the background to get rid of protection's
anydvd download (gives you a free trial)
