I have not received any responces to my last questions, but I did say I would post any info I do figure out.
I have been able to retrieve my old Sonic folder, and I just copied it to the new Sonic folder. I still can't figure out how it shrank the movie down.
I use smartripper and only grab the video, and ac3 streams. I also rip each chapter as a VOB.
I now can import the VOB files directly into myDVD. Once that is done, if there are any scenes that won't load, I will re-encode that chapter, and add it again. I then create a DVD like normal. So far I have created 3 working DVD's, and I am still trying to figure out how to compress.
Total creation time from rip to playback on set top DVD is about 1 hour.
I don't not know what to look for to find out what is diffrent with this version of myDVD, but I will try to answer all questions. I would like to know also.
