Newbie Question

The directions are probably already somewhere on this site but....

How do you burn only a movie w/ DVD Shrink? I want to reauthor and remove the extra stuff, commentaries, previews etc so that I don't have to compress so much.

Thank you for your help

Click on FAQ Index in my sig and look at the thread that says how to re-author a DVD.

Thank you

Thanks for the amazing amount of info.

A few random questions:
-What is AS 2-ch unspecified audio stream?

-Why compress extras w/ still images vs reauthor for movie only?

-Is there a better program than win zip for movie storage?

Thanks a ton!

1. 2-channel unspecified audio is seen in menus. The DVD specs mandate that you can't specify a language for menus. It's just a stereo audio used in menus.

2. If you compress the extras with still images you can keep the menus. reauthor if you don't want menus.

3. Winzip is a general data compression program. Movie VOBs will not compress very much at all. There's little need to have them on your hard drive if you have them on a DVD. However, if you want them on your hard drive and wish to package them up, the best way of doing this would be in an ISO, which you could later "mount" as a virtual drive with daemon tools. You can use DVD Shrink to make ISOs as its standard output (burn them with DVD Decrypter). Or, if you have regular DVD files, you can make ISOs with something like ImgToolsClassic or Nero (in Image Recorder mode).

4. You're welcome
