OK. How can I figure out what files goes with what. If I want to burn a Simpsons DVD, I don't need the extra languages, and subtitles, but want the audio commentary, how can I figure out what to select and what not to select.

erm

I have a LOT of dealings with the burning of dvds and I see quite a few problems here!

DVD Shrink is ok ~ but the quality is pap compared to the pro stuff

U'll have to AQCUIRE this stuff but I suggest the following ~

To get the dvd onto ur drive use CLONE DVD (Which is also useful to get rid of any unwanted garbage like foreign languages or ads etc)

The odd dvd is a nightmare to rip so use DVD DECRYPTOR for them (Free download)

To burn ~ the best so far as I know is DVD REBUILDER PRO (The main control program) and then an encoding program is needed

Everyone raves about CCE ENCODER. So thats what I HAD been using. However ~ I suggest PROCODER. Its by far the best encoder ive found.

The difference is the way it compresses the material. It kinda technical so Ill not go into it but it trounces DVD Shrink and DVD Clone for compression abilities.

For the ultimate picture ~ theres also plugins available for REBUILDER if anyones interested (shrugs)

I guess I am now a bit confuzzled. I use DVD Clone to shrink and get rid of any un-needed crap from the DVD. It will also burn the compressed files it creates. Or you can just use any DVD burner software like Nero or Roxio to burn the DVD with these files.

Are you saying that you use DVD Clone, and then use another program to burn these files? Why? What program do you use?

It is not clear in your post what programs you use to shrink and burn your DVD's.

Thanks for any clarification.

sorry

First thing is to get the files onto your hardrive. So use CLONE DVD to rip whatever it is you want and cut out the rest. Make sure it does NOT compress (manually set to 9 gig size to make sure).

Sometimes Clone wont work so use DVD DECRYPTOR instead in these circumstances (Unfortunately rips the WHOLE disc)

Next u need to COMPRESS the files that you just ripped to your harddrive

Use DVD REBUILDER PRO as the main control program and either CCE or PRO CODER as the encoder (Compression program)

DVD REBUILDER also has certain functions to help compression. Like omitting certain languages, turning credits into slideshows etc.

Basically the more space there is for the movie the better the quality of the movie

(If people dont believe all this then try ripping KING KONG using DVD SHRINK and let me know what the qualitys like!)

Then use NERO or similar burning software to burn the VOB files that DVD REBUILDER has created

I use Nero because it will also check that the burned disc is ok

Hope this is a bit better to understand (shrugs)

So for the record ~ the best quality is ripping JUST the film and 5.1 audio (No menus, extras, subs etc ~ basically anything that takes up space)

However ~ i myself lurve my sound and menus so I rip the menus and DTS sound also where applicable, and make the end credits into a slideshow

and why do I SHRINK using PRO CODER? Cos the quality of the rip is FAR superior to clone/shrink etc
