cannot backup disc two as it is too big on maximum shrink!!!(using dvdshrink) any suggestions:confused:

use dvdshrink in reauthor mode to join both disks into one big image (cutting out all but the 1st ac3 audio track) (you will need to set the disk to "NO COMPRESSION"
then goto www.doom9.org and follow "the big three" guide for shrinking a dvd down onto a single dvd.
doing it this way i managed to shrink the two towers extended edition down to a single dvd-r keeping the quality excellent (this was after cutting out the 20mins of credits and setting cce to 7 pass at just over 2500 avg bitrate :-) )
failing that just put it through dvd shrink and then put the new folder through again but trust me it will look $hite

is there no way of compressing and keeping everything i didn't want to butcher it
cheers dave

@psibob84

the big three guide?????

if you know of a guide why don't you post that instead of cryptic clues??

He did post it. Anyone that is too lazy to bother following a few links probably shouldn't bother with the guide as it does involve a bit of work.

Anyway, here is a directlink: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/ra-guide.htm

thanks for that celtic_druid

i done a lot of searching on that site and can find nothing resembling "the big three" guide .

Guides --> DVD / miniDVD --> DVD backup guides --> Using Scenarist NT & the big 3

ah.......the number 3 it is.....doh!

using my dvd recorder I can get 4 hours of great video on one dvd with just a minute or two of my time.
