I have done this before, but don't know the combination that I used. I have a file that ends in "-FXG" whatever that means. I have AnyDVD, CloneDVD2, ConvertXtoDVD3, ShrinkDVD, Nero, etc. I used ConvertX2DVD on it and it burned the entire movie, except for 5 minutes. The 3 files say the movie is 4.2gig. Should I have used DVD Shrink some way. I tried it this morning and didn't get it to work. Doing something wrong here. HELP!

Hmm. I don't know what FXG is, but you could try converting it via ConvertXtoDVD, and then burn with shrink.

Ok, that sound reasonable. I just got shrink so I need to try it. I have downloaded this file twice and burned it twice, so maybe 3rd time is charm. Thanks.

The file itself says it is DVDRIP-FXG and the size is 949 meg. When I run it through ConvertXtoDVD the files are 4.2 gig.

Yeah, its 4.2 because of the conversion process, thats no surprise haha. Anyways, try it with Shrink, who knows. What are your encoding settings? Try putting at the lowest/highest quality, and let it sit all night, thats what I do.

Ok Thanks, I'll give that a try. I also am in the middle of copying one I have that is very long. I had no problem with this previously. Now, Shrink and Convertx says there is an error and Clonedvd3 says it is protected. There can't be an error in the DVD, I just watched it, right?
I am a retired computer tech, but still a newbie in relation to the "encoding" "decoding" aspect of this fairly new technology. So, I did understand that the file I mentioned, would be larger once decompressed. Thanks again, for your response.
