I know some may say that's not hard but I do have a question regarding the buring process. In this section I have read many times that the process people use to back up and burn a DVD is 1. Rip (eg. smartripper) 2. Compile/compress (eg.DVD Shrink) 3. Burn (eg. Nero) I tried this but smart-ripper decoded it into the incorrect format for DVD Shrink to use. I tried using just DVD shrink without using smart ripper. I did that, it compressed my back up to 4.4GB, then burned it and it worked fine. Is there something that I need to be careful of as I am concerned that by not decoding it I have done something wrong.
You have not done anything wrong as DVDShrink is a ripper and de-coder/re-encoder combined. If you notice at the start when the disc is identified the option to re-encode is ussually highlighted so when you click 'next' you have instructed it to re-encode.
Thanks for that was a bit worried about that. cool. The only question is why do people recommend to use DVDecrypter and DVD shrink together?
