It's Terminator Salvation and I tried using DVDshrink, I haven't watched it in a while and I'm trying to free up some space on my hard drive. I tried re-authoring the DVD so that it is only the main movie but even then DVDshrink would not shrink it (sorry I don't know what the proper term is for "shrinking" a DVD).

What did you use to decrypt the disc initially?
What program did you use to rip the DVD to your HDD? I have Terminator Salvation. As it contains structural protection (according to AnyDVD), I'd have to rip it to the HDD first to see if DVD Shrink could "shrink" it (as DVD Shrink cant handle discs with structural protection unless it's ripped to HDD first). But CloneDVD2 will happily transcode it to DVD5 capacity with AnyDVD running. Last edited by mike20021969; 5th June 2011 at 10:31. |

I used DVDdecrypter to rip it, DVDshrink can open the DVD without any problems but I think it's because there are 4 main movie titles on the DVD. I tried re-authoring the DVD and took out only one title, then used IFOedit to make new video_ts and ifo files but it still didn't work, then I tried PGCedit with the DVDshrink plugin and re-authored again and it still won't work. I wanted to try anyDVD but with the exchange rate the way it is it will cost me a fortune.

@aether
If you are determined to use DVDShrink: 1) First delete the applicable "Analysis Results" from your "Program Data" folder (the one that's applicable to this problematic DVD) 2) Open DVD Shrink and load the DVD 3) Click on the "Analysis" (Deep Analysis) radio button 4) After the analysis is finished, click on the "Backup!" radio button 5) If still too large, load "shrunken" backup copy into DVD Shrink and select "Backup!"

Now that I think about it am I the only one that experience problems with DVDfab and DVDfab HD decrypter. when I use these programs the resulting backup plays the chapters in an incorrect order or freezes. Does anyone else have this problem, or could it indicate that there is a problem on my PC?

You're sure about that? Deep Analysis shows the bitrate distribution for Shrink's transcoder which should be pretty much the same despite the copy protection used.

There's a limit to how much DVDShrink will shrink a disc, but it'd be fairly unusual for it not to be able to compress a single movie down to blank DVD size. Are you sure DVDShrink's options haven't been changed from DVD-5 size to something larger (DVD-9) so it's not actually trying to shrink the disc any further? DVD Shrink should tell you how much it's compressing the movie. What does it say? Are you 100% sure the backup copy DVDShrink saves is okay? Is the movie duration exactly the same as the duration of the original movie? |

I used IFOedit because PGCedit once gave me a message saying that DVDs that have been re-authored by DVDshrink have errors (this was with another DVD), so I tried making new video_ts and ifo files because I thought that maybe it could work that way. The total size of the file is just over 6GB but when it is opened with DVDshrink it says the total size is over 10GB which is the reason I re-authored and took out the main movie only, as mentioned before DVDshrink reads 4 main movie titles on the DVD. As for the compression ratio, it won't go below 99.1 percent and yes the compression setting were on automatic.
