Dvd Shrink? Hey i just downloaded a dvd to my hard drive, it is in multiple files, aka lots of vob and bup files, and i just wanted to convert them all into one seamless mpeg 1-4 file. (any one of those is fine?) i used dvd shrink to get all the files.

Woden501 replied: "Well first of all I would suggest losing DVD shrink as there are better programs around. Second, technically this is illegal as in order to rip the files off the disk you have to go through the encryption which breaks some law, though I don't remember which it is. The way I would do what your proposing is to use DVD decrypter to rip the files off of the DVD onto the hard drive then use AGK to choose the VOB and sound files that are the correct ones and convert these into either divx or xvid formats. These programs offer a lot of choices for size and quality. There is a good tutorial on how to do it here..."

How do you use Dvd Shrink 3.2 to burn a movie onto a disk without using Nero or anything? Ive tried and tried because i only have nero express & i dont kno how to work that. I dont want to download another version of nero either. ive been told that you can burn onto a disk with just using dvd shrink 3.2. so please help! also if you know how to work nero express with dvd shrink 3.2 that could help too. thankyou.

esquilax replied: "DVD Shrink doesn't have burn capabilities built in but it's actually really easy with Nero Express. (I have Express version 6) -When dvd shrink is finished, you should have a folder with .vob, .ifo and .bup files in it. -Put a blank dvd in your drive (a re-writable is good for practise if you haven't done this before). If any auto-run programs open, close them. -Open Nero Express (not NeroVision - that's for making a dvd from scratch and yours is already ready to be burned to disc), at the top-right of the window under "Which recorder would you like to use?", select your dvd drive (if it's not already selected). -Under "What would you like to burn?", click "DVD-Video Files" -On the next screen, click Add in the top-right. -Go to the folder where Shrink put all the .vob, .ifo and .bup files, select -all- of them and click Add, then Finished. -Click Next. For Writing speed, you might want to lower the speed (too fast can cause screw-ups). I pretty much only use re-writables with max speed of 4x. Your computer is probably newer than mine and you could go faster if your discs support it :) -Click Burn. (If it's a non-empty re-writable it'll ask you if it's ok to overwrite it) It's easier when you can see it."

How do I get my Nero 7 and dvd shrink back? My Nereo and dvd shrink are not here, they need reinstalled. There are places on the computer that I can retreive them but where? The back up goes with the shrink, doesn't it?

brazilianloser replied: "most likely on your temporary folder or program files folder... or you can just download it again from their websites"

gulley6_1999 replied: "I don't know what backup tool you are referring to. The installer for DVD Shrink is available online, but I think it is illegal in the US since the recent DMCA rulings. Nero is not freeware, so you'll need to reinstall it from the original CD."

shooters733 replied: "I am assuming the shortcuts are gone,and the software is still on the pc somewhere, and that's not a problem. Go under 'start' and choose all programs. In there should be a folder for dvd shrink, and also an Executable link. just click... If that never installed itself into the start menu, then just open my computer > 'c drive' > Program files > DVD Shrink > and look for the " .EXE " program file. This will start the program. Also, you can right click the .exe file, and create shortcut, and drag that to the desktop. Same w/ Nero."

How do I use HandBrake with a file that I encrypted with DVD Shrink? I took the advice of a friend and downloaded DVD Shrink to take the copyright off of a movie so that I could convert it for my iPod using HandBrake. Well, it took off the copyright, but I couldn't figure out how to convert it using HandBrake. Could anybody give me a walk through on what to do?

Zaphod Beeblebama replied: "If I remember correctly you need the movie on a disc for handbrake to open it. You could just download AnyVideo Converter Free. It is much easier to use unless you are just trying to compress the movie."

Colanth replied: "I believe the iPod needs MPEG4 format. You'll have to convert the file to MP4."

Help Please! How do I get a movie from DVD Shrink to my iPod? I had to rip the movie on my dad's laptop because my computer doesn't have a DVD player. So now I have to transfer the ripped movie onto my computer. Hopefully it plays in DVD Shrink like it does on my dad's laptop. That isn't the major concern though, this is - once I get the movie onto my computer, how do I get it from DVD Shrink onto iTunes, and onto my iPod?

Pai Kia replied: "It is step 1 of a two-step process. 1) Copy a DVD movie to your hard drive using DVD Shrink. 2) Use a program like Videodora to convert the DVD files on your hard drive to an iPod format (mp4). Then, you can use iTunes to upload the mp4 movie to your iPod. It sounds complicated, but it's easier than you think. It takes about 2-3 hours to perform the procedure."

What "quality settings" would you recommend using in DVD Shrink? I am burning a DVD for the first time and I am unsure of what quality settings to use in DVD Shrink. I know that I am going to perform deep analysis, but I'm not sure what to pick for the quality enhancements. My choices are: maximum smoothness, smooth, sharp (default), and maximum sharpness. What are the pros and cons for each and which would you recommend using? Thank you in advance for your help. Come on...Someone has to know SOMETHING about this. Even a little information or advice would be a tremendous help.

Paul F replied: "Why not burn several DVD's at the various settings? That way you'll see the differences between the different settings."

I keep getting a I/O device error when i am trying to encode using dvd shrink? I have a windows xp and I use dvd shrink to copy my protected films but after the analysing process I get a message I/O device error. Please has anyone any suggestions.

kowhai replied: "well I have seen this error many times, a friend of mine was having a real big problem with it. I have vista so it is different. However I found a work around. You will need to download a free program called DVD43 do a search for it. What it does is sit in the tray and waits for you to insert a DVD, it then fools the operating system into thinking it is not a protected disk. If you already have it make sure it is the very latest one. If you are upgrading you will have to uninstall the version you have and then you must reboot your system before installing the new copy. Hope this helps Kowhai"

ramric replied: "1. Disc is dirty or scratched: do what you have to do. 2. Disc have copy protection: experiment with the software available for those situations."

DLK replied: "you could also try DVDfab decrypter. Use it to copy your disk to your hard drive, then back it up with dvd shrink or whatever you like. DVDshrink does not defeat the latest copy protection that is being used, that is probably why you are getting errors."

Computershell replied: "Yes I/O errors and cylinder redundancies are now a feature of copy protection, Sony especially, I use "anydvd" from Slysoft. That's not been beaten yet."
