hello
i have a question
i use dvd x copy
im trying to make back ups of my dvd movies
the software ask me for 2 dvd disks
my qustion is how can i put a full dvd movie with bonus features
all on 1 dvd
or is there a dvd with more space
mine are dvd+r 4.7

[anonymez]

there are single-layered dvds (4.7GB) and dual-layered dvds (8.4GB). your writer probably is single layer. To burn your dvd onto 1 disc, you must compress it first. download and install a program called "dvd shrink", and then check out the guides at http://www.dvdshrink.info

good luck

Yes, a lot of people have problems with XCopy. I have had many many problems with XCopy myself on 2 different computers. Download shrink for free. XCopy WILL let you compress movies to fit on one disk though, you just have your options set up wrong.

well when i first put the disk in and run x copy
it asks me if i want to make it a 2 disk dvd with special features
or take off the special features
and make it a 1 disk
but when i select the 1 disk part
and it switches over to the next page it still has some items in the bottom half of the screen that cannot be removed

does the software u mentioned let u burn a movie with all the features just like it was a bought one

help
thanks

Yes, DVD Shrink lets you do just about anything. Full backup or just the main title. I usually use just the main title so I don't have to wait and pick through all the menus. The quality is excellent too.

phytrax i need help
i just burned a copy of A DVD WITH DVD SHRINK AND NERO
i put the dvd in my player and it starts fine even some of the credits start also the movie begins to play great
but when i i start to foward to different chapters it starts to freez and skip
why

[Phytrax]

Does it do the same thing on your computer? You could just have a bad burn, but most likely you got a bad piece of media. This is a common problem if you don't use premium quality DVD's. Try Ritek disks.

IVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT SETTINGS IN DVD SHRINK
WHAT ARE THE BEST ONES
I USE MAXELL DVD+R
HELP

[eddie20usa]

OH AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT
BUY CREATING AN IMAGE OR SAVING TO HARD DISK

[anonymez]

the default settings are fine in shrink... you really don't need to change anything.

most people just use nero to burn their discs immediately, but if you want to burn it later, i recommend outputting to an ISO.

[Phytrax]

The settings in shrink aren't going to affect whether you have problems with freezing or skipping. If you are really particular about quality, turn on deep analysis, but this will make bakups take a good bit longer. Saving to hard disk and making an image bothwork just fine.

[eddie20usa]

ILL TRY THAT AS SOON AS I GET HOME

[eddie20usa]

great news i did the deep analyze and then burned with thr nero function
and it worked great
