Is there any way that I can clone any DVD, even a copy-protected one? And any way that I can take a DVD-9 and make it a DVD 5 without deleting anything? Wink

Would DVDShrink let me retain the extras, the original menus, all the languages, and the subtitles of the original movie when going from DVD-9 to DVD-5? BEcause I have a few DVD-9 discs that are only used in needed circumstances.

OK, thanks!

P.S. If I used DVD-Shrink to decrypt the protection, would the DVD still work? BEcase it recommends using DVD Decrypter to do that in the DVD Shrink review.

DVD Shrink have imperfect decryption module. May not work. Decrypt DVD with the help of DVD Decrypter in "File" Mode. open the folder that contains decrypted DVD in DVD Shrink.

If you care about quality you should use something other than dvd shrink.

Use CCE with DVD-Rebuilder, although the downside is that you're looking at several hours to re-encode the video. That, and CCE isn't free (but widely available cracked).

I should say that if you're using dvd shrink and the reduction is only in the 85-90% range of the original, then you're not going to see much difference between the two Wink

I don't care that much abot quality, but I do have some standards, because I don't want to educe it so damn much that it looks like a CAM. I want the menu to look just like the menu of the original. And for it to have the same extras, etc.

Shrink is good for some things just try to keep the compression level above 80%. DVD-RB /CCE or HC are very nice, the best.

May consider getting VobBlanker to get rid of extras/warnings. MenuEdit to edit menus also adds a nice touch. Of course DVDDecrypter is the best tool to rip & burn, just make sure you don't let it check for updates.

Best place to go:

Once set up, DVD-RB/CCE becomes a one-click program as well Wink Without the sucking part Very Happy

True but the speed difference/ease of use come into play. However the thing about backups is, it always comes down to the source. I have seen CCE completely f*ck a movie and needed a redo with either Shrink or HC. I have also seen Shrink do the same.

it's not cce that fucks a movie, rather whomever is doing the encoding.

cce is an encoder.
shrink is a recoder.

there's a reason any scene release that gets caught using shrink has their release nuked Wink
