hi i got a complete friends boxset for xmas and want to back it up but i want to do it so that its more than the 4 episodes on the disk. was hoping for a guide on what software is best to do this with and how to do it. am hoping to get all 8 episodes a disk with no extras and custom menu. please help!!!!!
Try using something like TPMGEnc, DVD Lab, Pinnacle Studio, or a Ulead product to create the compilation. DVD shrink would be probably the best option to get it all on one disk. However, 8 episodes in DVD format is going to cost you a lot of quality on a single layer DVD @ 4.7 gigs. If you are using dual layer discs I see no problems. 99% of all your software editing/authoring questions can be answered here. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/
I second rp_024's opinion regarding software and also that you don't want to shrink too much. Personally I use TMPGEnc DVD Author and it works just fine.
