i tried this a test to the program with GT4 (Gran Turismo 4) and it shrunk the file to 3.4gig or summit and it burnt but didn't work!!!!

does it only work for some games or did i do something wrong.

yeah thats what i was using i have V4 and V5 and none of them worked???

i followed the steps and nothing. also DVD Decrypter was making .IOO & .IIO files as apose to a .ISO but this didnt stop the program from reading the files but maybe it didnt work because there is 3 files (including the .MDS), and the program is only shrinking one of them and not the other

if that makes any sense at all ???

yeah it made me a new iso, but what im saying is when i originaly made an image using DVD Decrypter it made 3 files a .IOO(3.xxGIG) a .IIO(2.xxGIG) and a .mds file.

so i shrunk the file that was the biggest ... so maybe the game didnt work becuase the 2.xx GIG file is also required i assume for the game to work properly.

and about the mds file, i tried opeing the original one in DVD Decrypter and it was still linked to the old files thus still being over 5 GIG in size. And i tried opening the new ISO in DVD Decrypter but it says its missing a MDS file.

So i thought right i'll burn it in Nero, but back to the original problem it wont work because all the files required are not shrunk together ... you get me???

yeah not many people have, but i get it all the time now and its not usually a problem for smaller games because the mds file obviously links to the 2 files and it works a charm but i just want my ISO's back lol

**The Kick got firmly issued **

hello

you are getting 3 files IOO/IO1/MDS from DVD Decrypter because you are running on fat32,which cant handle files over 4gb,thats why it splits them
you need to convert to NTFS

cheers!!
