fusion007 · 21st December 2003, 14:14

im trying to back up my friends discs,they have 4 episodes on each side of the disc i rip each side to hd open shrink+movie then reauthor now i did get it to create the files but i want each episode to be a chapter(ie chapter 1-8 for each episode)using the start/end function i try to create chaptors but it wont it will only select chapter 1(if youre following). any ideas?

p.s i did try to follow a suggestion i found in the search but that didnt work!

I don't think you can. DVDShrink creates a separate title for each start-end selection. If you take the GUI literally, you'll see what I mean - each title on the left (in the reauthor window) becomes a title of its own in the resulting DVD output.

Creating separate titles wouldn't be much of a problem, except you can't use the skip button (on the remote) once you're on the last chapter of a title to go to the next title. You're trying to skip to the next chapter and there isn't one.

Many DVDs put a tiny 0.15 second chapter at the end of a title so you can skip to the end of the title (and thereby seemingly skip to the next title or back to the menu), but Shrink doesn't do that. Perhaps a future version will be enhanced to do this in reauthor mode (hint-hint).

Check out How to place chapters from multiple DVDs onto one? in the newbie forum. The thread is a little long because we got confused talking about different versions of Shrink, but farmer dan does explain how to do what you want (I think) using VobEdit and IfoEdit.

Well, I did come up with a way to skip from title to title with re-authored DVD Shrink movies but you need to use the Title menu button. Here's the guide.
