If you use this method, make sure to uncheck the following in DVDShrink prior to ripping.
Edit > Preferences > File I/O > Enable burning with Nero.
does dvd decrypter burn better than nero?
Better? I dunno. I think it's the best. I'm just not a Nero fan.Quote:

Thanks for the advice.
I ripped them to a hard disc with DVD Decrypter, all up, including the 'extras' discs, it came to over 42GB, about 7GB a disc.
Can I get that back onto single layer discs again? Or do I have to lower the quality?
ZYou can compress it all but it will lower the quality you will need to burn dual layer to get full quality or just rip the extras all off and everything else ot try to keep at least 80% of the movie.
That why you should follow my method listed above.Quote:

Perfect, they work great.
The only 'problem', which I don't think has anything to do with me, is that the first and last DVDs are widescreen, and the middle one is 'normal'.
You do lose quality when shrinking with DVD Shrink.Quote:

I haven't paid attention to the video compression but a coupe of times, but I'll start out of curiosity.Quote:

As far as menus, etc., I used to remove it all, but now I leave any of the English sub-titles in case I can't understand what they're saying. (I'm pointing at you 'Snatch')
