thanks for the info on size.....I will probably just go with the 4300, safer and easier to remember (poor memory here). Arniebear, I want to burn it on the dvd-5 discs that I have but am not having success. I used DVD Decrypter in file mode for all of the files....it processes and says it is successful but says it is encrypted and shouldn't be and finds keys for the encryption. After is completes I go to Recode and it shows the entire disk as huge, 6800 or so and shows the main movie as 4460 I think.....just doesn't seem to shrink it enough, if I click on the extras to disable them recode locks up.....this doesn't happen with any other disc I have tried to back up. DVD Shrink locks up with this after DVD Decrypter also.
Those disney disks are really poopy to do. If you want the easiest way to do this disk. DL the 21 day trial version of AnyDVD and CloneDVD from http://www.slysoft.com and then read the guide here http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/BACKUP WITH CLONEDVD&ANYDVD.pdf I am beginning to think Recode is really not liking this disk, using the slysoft combo is much easier and you can edit it if you want.
you lot must be unlucky, i've not once had a problem with Disney discs, apart from 'eBay' ones from the far east on atrocious god-awful media
Arniebear, I will dl the trials of those and do that just for this movie...no problems with other ones for now. Creaky, I can't do it with shrink any better than I can with recode...it locks the program up when I try to disable or remove the extras....it's weird. I am dl-ing those now and printing out the guide to take home.....will try this tonite if not too tired.
I would highly recommend you to download the combo from Slysoft and use Clone DVD 2/ANYDVD as it works flawlessly and you get a lot of control with the movie only option! COmpression is great and I actually used this combo to back-up my daughters copy of Country Bears. I use TY's and Verbs I also like the DL mode on Clone Dvd 2 and Intervideo Copy 3 Platinum. I have backed up a few single and dl with Decrypter and even shrink...no problems! I really found that AnyDvd in the background is awe-some! MovieDud
Arniebear, the AnyDVD/CloneDVD combo worked fine for burning Countrybears.....thank you so much for your help. Creaky....thank you as well.....watched Constantine again last nite. I am curious as to what AnyDVD does that DVD43 doesn't.....am assuming that the difference is one is free and the other is commercial but removes more protections.
Purchased Country Bears today, and just finished backing it up (movie only), good ole DVD Shrink did the biz all on it's own..
