A question to those who have DVD Shrink?

What are you trying to do?

 

I think DVDs from DVD shrink can only be played on computers, because neither of my DVD players load the disc.
Any one else know aonther way of making self-copies of DVDs that can be played on DVD players?

 

Really? What are you using, DVD+R or DVD-R ?
and what brand?

 

Why don't you just use the backup feature on DVD shrink, instead of faffing around with another program like Nero?

 

Malice, give your PMs a check.

 

Hey Malice, do you know how to compress a DVD(s) so you can fit two or three onto a single DVD? I am almost there but I am missing one or two steps or I just can't figure them out. I have all the software. DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and even VIrtual Dameon Manageer to create a ghost drive to store one of the compressed dvds.

 

You said the same thing last time in the other thread that I created and I gave you the same response. Wiccan is capable of doing it. But he hasn't been on so I haven't been able to ask him how he does it.

 

I use DVD Shrink and it works on my dvd player

 

Okay. Listen up.

This has NOTHING to do with DVD Shrink, or your computer. It's the DVDs themselves.

If you use a ****ty DVD player, and cheap DVD-Rs, then you are going to have a ton of problems.

Memorex, TDK, and Fuji are the best brands in blank media, and if you buy some off brand, you're not going to get a decent burn, and if you do, the disk will probably fail before too long.

Also, if you're using a PS2, you NEED to be using one of those three disk brands, because you can't let the PS2 know you're using a burned disk, or it won't play.

 

I'm pretty sure you need a mod chip in order to play burned discs of any type..

 

That's not entirely ture.

 

No, no you don't.

 

I recommend using Ritek media.

Plus the best DVD player in the world is...

The Philips DVP-642.

- Plays DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW
- Plays DivX video
- With a simple and LEGAL remote code, you can make the player DVD REGION FREE.
- Has a BUILT-IN PAL to NTSC CONVERTER.



Take a gander...

One problem, Phillips dvds have been known to crap out and not play random dvds for some odd reason.

 

I've had mine for more than a year now. Ony 1 problem has occured:


CRAP MEDIA.


Can't lose with Ritek, my friend.


'Nuff said!

 

Platinum are the best dvd's there are, I never had any problems with them.
They play anywhere anytime!

Anyway, did you burn the dvd in the dvd "video" format, or did you just drag and drop the files in it and clicked burn?

Dvd Shrink will compress your 9 Gb dvd, into 4,6 GB. It'll create Vob, Ifo and Bup files. these'll play in every dvd player. And in my experience the cheaper the player the more brands of dvd's it takes.

 

I'm having problems. A couple of recent dvds won't shrink on the program?
