Manually Analyze A Disk?

[Fat Bast'rd]

How can I get DVD Shrink to re-analyze a disk?

Since I'm stripping out video streams and menus with IFOEdit and MenuEdit, I feel a need to re-analyze a disk ensuring it is correct before shrinking. If I have already analyzed the untouched disk prior to stripping, I cannot re-analyze my stripped disk as the original disk's analysis is cached.

(I have looked in the registry for cache info. but to no avail).

Alright, none of you bastards knew the answer, so I had to find it myself.

The analysis are in .../application data/dvd shrink.

I ran into the same problem once. I think all I had to do was to close DVDShrink and then reopen it. Open the files again and it knows that things have changed and it will re-analyze the disc. Or at least I think that is how I did it. :rolleyes:

...or you can start CloneDVD (dummy project)and let it run for a minute. It does a similar analysis, although without a fancy preview window. If something is wrong, it catches it.

@fat,

Another way - check thread here:

Go down to markrb's reply about using IfoEdit's "Make Image" feature after you load the VIDEO_TS.ifo file.

G'Luck!

If you have another DVD movie ripped on your HD, go and analyze those. Then, if you go back to your other DVD files in question, DVD Shrink should re-analyze those files again since cache has changed previously.

On Windows 2000 (domain), I think the files are in:

C:\Documents and Settings\<login name>\Application Data\DVD Shrink
