After searching Im still dont know how I can edit the length down of a DVD9 to DVD5 size. The DVD is NTSC and has LPCM and DTS, I've tried different authoring softs but none recognize the DTS audio component. If DVD-lab will do this Im unable to find a tutorial which specifically explains the encoders to a noob. Please provide me some direction.
EDIT: I would like to keep both audio's intact, but reduce main movie length.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I have quite a few DVD9 that I am able to backup to two DVD5, one with DTS, and one with LPCM, with dvdshrink.

I am going to assume you mean compress a dvd9 (dual layer) down to a dvd5 (single layer dvdr) and not edit the length of the movie/video...
As SingSing already stated, DvdShrink, or if you want a bit better video quality, Dvd Rebuilder.
Dvd-Lab is just an Authoring program, is does not "shrink", "Transcode" or "Re-convert" video down from a dvd9 to a dvd5.
If your original dvd is only 5.2GB then dvd shrink will probably suffice for the job, if you only want the main movie/video then you may not have to shrink it at all ?
I have used both the above mentioned programs to fit a dvd9 with DD 2.0, DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1 audio tracks from much larger dvd9's to single layer dvdr's. -
With DVD shrink, doesnt it compress the DVD? I'd like to edit out content to make it smaller with smooth transitions etc.

Thank-you folks for your guidance, I'll look into these.

Hello again, tried DVD rebuilder and am sure DVD shrink isn't what I need because even with deleting extras, its still over DVD5 size. I want to edit out main movie content to make it smaller with smooth transitions, fade outs etc. Possible?
Samsung HMX-H106SN/XAC HD Camcorder -
It's not going to happen and it will not save enough space trying to change or re-encode transitions or fade ins/outs to make the effort worth while, you will either have to use dual layer dvdr's, transcode it (dvdshrink) or re-encode it (dvdrbuilder) to make it fit on a SL dvdr.
Even in "re-author" mode with dvdshrink if it is still to large to fit on a SL dvdr you are going to have to do 1 of the 2 suggestions mentioned previously, period!
Transcode or re-encode.....
Now if you want to cut out scenes or 10, 20 minutes, of the entire video then it is possible........ -
Lucky for you that you admitted upfront that you're a noob, because your questions are a little...exasperating.
I'd venture to say most veteran members here must be thinking of the work involved in what you propose. And for what? A DVD backup? For goodness sake, just spend an extra fifty cents and put it on a dual-layer DVD, no re-encoding at all, and be done with it.Pull! Bang! Darn! -
Again, dvdshrink, but what's the point of not re-encoding ?
To save some space by cutting out 20 minutes of a film/movie instead of re-encoding it and odd's are you nor anyone else will ever be able to tell the difference considering your original is barely over the size of a dvd5
Time for a fork, cause this is done!!
LOL!!! -
Ditch the DTS and maybe you can do it. Womble Mpeg Video Wizard can edit your files (you may have to demux first) but I don't think it will do DTS. VideoRedo probably will do DTS, but it won't do transitions.
DVD Rebuilder will re-encode your file to DVD5 size, if you use it correctly, however if you insist on DTS audio you will take a quality hit - DTS needs a lot of space.Read my blog here.
