Hello to everyone here.The site looks great and seems to offer a lot of information.Last night I was on the site trying to find some programs to download.I choose DVD Shrink and AnyDvd as the two programs to do the job I was looking to do.My Friend drops of a DVD last night and asked me to copy it onto another disc for him.Simple enough it seems,Here is the problem.It's a data dvd not a movie dvd.Now I open dvd shrink to copy or burn this disk and get all kinds of error messages.The data cd my friend gave me to copy is a little over 4.7mb so I do need to compress it,but every little thing I try,dvdshrink wont allow.Is it possible that I am using the wrong program for this type of DVD?is there a program that copies data info but also reduces the size?
I thought I could use a decrypter program like anydvd but can't seem to get that to do anything as well.

Sorry this is long but I just can't seem to find the answers while searching the forum.

any help please?
Thanks again
John

DVD Shrink is for transcoding DVD format movies that are on a commercial movie disk to fit on a standard blank, DVD disk - it will not do anything with a DVD data disk (or a CD).

If you simply want to copy a data DVD or CD use ImgBurn.

This link shows the steps required.

Hi and welcome to our humble abode. However, thread title renamed from "Problems with Dvd Shrink Please help", a title in a forum of same name is as bad as "Please Help". In future please see here about thread titles ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/440385

Plus if this had been about a movie DVD that wasn't your own this would have had to be closed. Forum Rules are in my signature.
