DVD Shrink/Nero query

[katz49]

Why is it, when I put vob's through Shrink, it shows them compressed to under 4gb, back them up, yet when I load them into Nero to create DVD, it becomes 4.68gb, which won't go on a 4.7 disc.

Can't understand whats happening.

What version of Shrink should I be using.

Shrink 3.1.7.6 and Nero 5.5.10.56 is working fine for me, I remember having that issue you mention with some dvds and solved it by switching from auto to custom settings in the compression options within Dvd Shrink.

After much juggling, came up with formula.

1. Load original DVD, hold to stop play.

2. Open DVD Shrink

3. Select Disk

4. After loading, Select Re-Author

5. De-select all subtitles, only select AC English 5.1

6. Select Compression,

7. Drag and drop Movie Title, should be less than 4.37 gb

8. Custom compress (minimum) if larger.

9. Select Backup, to burner.

10. Using Datawrite DVD +r Yellow label 8x, GO4 coating.

Note:- Straight to burner. not harddrive.

Takes about 50 to 60 minutes, start to finish.

did you use the AUTO settings in shrink to set the size !?

Only if the Auto puts it below 4.37, otherwise switch to Custom, use the minimun compress.
