DVD Shrink Target Size Exceeded

cpchowsf · 15th September 2008, 19:40

Hi, I have been using Shrink for a while now and every once in a while (seemingly especially on regular non-encrypted disks), it will say "Target Size Exceeded" when I try to copy the content from an entire disk.

Shrink is already set to automatic compression and, for some reason, it won't let me enter a lower number that what it is "automatically" set at.

Any idea how to get around that without going to DL or split up the disk content into 2?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

After "Shrinking" it once, load the "shrunk" (compressed) version into DVD Shrink and compress it again...

Or for (much) better quality results, simply run the project through DVD Rebuilder.

Hi, I didn't try Rebuilder but I did try to reshrink the shrunk (sp?) file and it worked...but you are right, the quality wasn't very good the 2nd shrunk time around...haha...

I'll have to try rebuilder next time to see if it works better.

Thanks again!!

DVD Rebuilder is definitely the way to go if you want to maximise quality and I'd highly recommend it.

Here is where you can get DVD Rebuilder.
http://www.jdobbs.com/
There is a freeware version and the full (paid) version. The free version isn't as versatile as the full version but if you like it you might want to go for the full version.

DVD Rebuilder is truly an amazing piece of software and well worth donating to jdobbs and receiving VIP status. Whether you use HC, CCE, or ProCoder the output will be vastly better than transcoding via DVD Shrink.
