Star Wars Bonus Disc

[eldarioth]

OK guys.. i have been reading your forums for a while now and have always used your expertise wisely, but now i am totally stuck, so call on your help.

Bought myself Star Wars Trilogy on DVD for christmas. Decided to back up the DVD's to keep the orignals in pristine condition. (as you do )

So... Ep.3,4 and 5 copy lovely like. BUT when i come to do the bonus disc it just wont shrink down enough, only shrinking 59.9% which is too big for my DVDs by about 150 mb or so.

I have tried doing custom ratio to no avail. Tried removing extra languages etc also

Please, oh gracious fount of all wisdom, please can you help this mere mortal out of this fix.

Take the already "shrunk" DVD package that's now on your hard drive and run IT through DVD Shrink...

I strip the protection of using DVD decrpter, which drops the uncompressed file upon my hard drive.

I then run DVD shrink, but when i click on the backup button it tells me its way too large for my DVD. Then when i try to shrink it some more it wont let me, the slider being all the way over to the left.

Am i doing something wrong? I have succesfully backed up about 75% of my DVD collection now... stops the kids fingerprints all over my shiny discs

i used dvd rebuilder for the bonus disc (as well as e4-6) and got myself a decent backup

"Am i doing something wrong?"

No, this sometimes happens with DVD Shrink. When this DOES occur, as I stated in my previous post here:

Take the already "shrunk" DVD package that's now on your hard drive and run IT through DVD Shrink to further compress it...
