dvdshrink is all you need. it's never once given my friend any problems.

I've only encountered 3 problematic disks that dvdshrink couldnt copy but elaborate bytes clonedvd2 sorted that out

Can you just copy the movie part with DVDshrink? I thought you HAD to burn the whole disk?

---

yeah, you can. just hit the re-author button and choose the main movie.

so why cant they leave the english subs then? there's two  things i cant stand in this world... people who are intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the dutch.

here's what i do

remove all the stupid languages (you can tell dvdshrink to do this automaticaly )

keep ALL the sub titles - no point in removing them (thank the dutch for bieng stupid and leaving only the dutch subs --boo)

leave the 'compression' on the main movie to auto, and then change the menu and extras to  "custom ratio" and slide the slider all the way down (lower %, to the LEFT) making the movie as much as possible while keeping the extras, extras a great (cept for some lame movies)

ALWAYS, AND I MEAN ALWAYS do a  'deep analysis'  before encoding. This will improve your dvd's so much, especialy with action movies. I first did saving private ryan without it, and it was fairly noticable, squares like in a divx movie, but smaller and clearer...

that's why dvddecrypter is good, copy dvd9 to hd, then take disc back to store (or send it back to netflix same day) and then start it encoding while you sleep with deep anakysis.

Btw, I just burned 166 minutes on one dvd, and it made the quality to around 60%. I put it in my dvd player, and I can't even notice anything wrong with it. I just figured I'd let everyone knows who uses Dvdshrink.

---

I think anyone who uses dvdshrink already knows this 

On a standard tv it looks great but you can tell the difference on those big plasma tv's.

By the time I can afford one of those though dual layer disks will be cheap as chips
