i have a 2 disc set that i want to back-up to my computer then use dvd shrink to burn those 2 disc sets onto just 1 disc(because i just found out that you can use deep analysis to get good quality)but the problem is after i ripped the files from the 1st disc and went re-author, i saw the files there perfectly and now with the second disc, i can see the files if i go onto it but i cant open it with dvd shrink for some reason. It just wont read it.I have tried everything from dvdfab decrypter, dvd decrpter and more but it back-ups the files but is unreadable but this i only the second disc.i havent done anything different form the 1st disc or second. Any help or suggestions???
@thEan1MaL U can either use DVD Shrink or try using CloneDVD 2 it compresses the files no probs... The only thing i would have to question is the final products quality... U may if u want to put the 2 movies on one disc is just put the 2 main movies on one disc and no xtra crap that may take space u may need...
as borhan9 mentioned you can do it with shrink, clonedvd 2, intervideo copy 3. Since you have shrink, just make sure you save the selected files to hd once you reauthor each disk, then burn both onto blank media with decrypter or nero. I prefer nero, but decrypter burns as well. I have used a lot of programs to combine two disks, or three disks to 1 single layer or 1 double layer. CloneDvd2 does a great job, so does intervideo copy 3. The menu that intervideo places on the dvd is hard to make out, but if you know what you placed on it then it will fine. I also have used the great joining feature of dvd2one to combine two disks to one. I have used it to tie together a double sided disk (Pelican Brief) in one single layer (made it seamless), but you can make them non-seamless. It worked perfectly and the layer brake isn't even noticed on my Denon, and on the Sony's it is just a brief pause. Any questions just ask! Here to help! MovieDud
i have both disc's on hard drive but in different folders. what i want to know is how do i put both folders together to burn onto the 1 disc. i prefer shrink because i wanna change quality into smooth so it comes out better but the shrink cant read the 2nd disc but can read the 1st. Thanx for your help guys
@thEan1MaL Create one more folder and put the 2 others in the other folder just created... and the other 2 u just put in it becomes sub folders... and run the main folder in shrink without goin into the subs...
hi to jion 2 movies in shrink locate first film (in re-author mode in shrink) then drag over to left then locate second film then drag that over - then hit backup! easy
well that's the problem i have. I can view the folder normally but when im on shrink it cant read it. i used differen programs like decrypter and dvdfab decrypter and they bak-up the files perfectly but then dvd shrink cant read it for some reason. Could it be wrong file type or something??
ok so looking at normally you can see files and play vobs in say powerdvd ok? try copying contents to another folder somewhere else. then try again or load second movie first! then grab first one then swap round when loaded in dvd shrink
yes i can play with powerdvd anything but when it comes to opening with shrink. there's my problem. when u say copy to another file, do u mean like drag it to another folder and try again?? and when i tried to drag it it says INVALID NAVIGATION STRUCTURE.
hi sound scurrupted? i would rip again in iso mode with dvd decrypter then strip out each film separately with dvd shrink.. or shiissss for got!! lol load the film from DD then just go re-author mode and drag both parts over!!! wow easy
hi iso or file mode dvd shrink can load both! then go to re-author mode you should see 2 main titles on right pain drag both accross to left pain then hit backup
ok i have created iso and tried to use chainsaw to chunk the files but that still cant read it. Reading just the ISO also dosent work?? thx for all yuor help. It's alright if you are out of ideas.
hi sorry i am confused you have 2 discs a film from each needing to go onto 1 disc? sorry i thought you had 2 films on one disc? ok rip btoh original dvds in file mode with dvd decrypter then load first set of files to dvd shrink go to re-author mode then drag over the main movie only, then go to browse tab and grab the other discs files and drags second movie over then hit backup if you got msn messenger we can talk on there, pm me your email addy
we are back to wehre we started. disc 1 can olny load when im on re-author but disc 2 cant be read. it says invalid dvd navigation structure. PM me ur addy cauz i sent mine
@thEan1MaL, have you copied both discs onto the HD using Decrypter? I have accomplished this by Decrypting both movies, using file mode (all files) to HD, then follow rotary's advice, open each one as usual with shrink, then re-author the first file, then browse the hd for the second movie and drag the movie over to the re-authored page with the 1st movie. That's it. I have found this to work quite well. MovieDud
