Hi all,

was trying to use dvd shrink instead of dvd2one but when I encode it is still exceeding the target. Anybody tell me were i`m going wrong.

Thanx.

i tried shrink 1.02 with T2 which is 7.58gig on disc and with 4 compression was still too large, about 5.22 and without cropping any sound out (after all its a great disc for sound) i found the only way to get it down futher was to put it through again on level 4 compression. i have since tried with 1.03 level 8 compression and even this dosnt get it down to size first time.
so you have 3 options crop or rencode more, lose some sound or more picture quality or re author:-

is there anyway to set a custom percentage setting similar to InstantCopy ?

earlier i tried 'brotherhood of the wolf' and the levels jumped from @ 5.22 gb to 3.46 gb - quite a big jump
