  1. I'm trying to make some home videos DVD from old VCR tapes. I have everything ripped.About 12 different clips. But when all the video is Authored on my Hard drive it comes out to be 5.8gig. I read somewhere about shrinking it with DVD Shrink but I keep getting a "Can not decrypt VOBS". I really hate to split this between 2 DVDs so any help would be much appreciated.

    If you load all the clips Video Studio 7 and save it to a MPEG DVD file, you can either lower the bit rate in Video Studio, or TMPGEnc to a lower rate to get the video onto one DVD.

    Remeber, if the video rate is too low, the quality will suffer so much as you will find the quality useless.

    By the way, use a bit rate calculator to figure out what bit rate you will need.

    can you explain what you mean by AUTHORED? or just tell us what you have on your hard drive and the folder/file names. if your videos are not (already) vobs and you don't have associated ifos DVD Shrink is not going to work.

  4. The files are the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. I put the DVD together with TMPGEnc DVD Author. But since it is to big to be burned to a DVD I'm kind of stuck. Thought about lower the quality through TMPGEenc but would rather not redo all the clips. I read on the forum about the DVD shrink technique but cannot find it again. Thanks for the help..it's much appreciated.

  5. I get the "cannot decrypt vobs" error when I use DVDshrink 5 (beta) on projects authored with TmpgencDVD Author. The solution is to use DVDshrink2.3 (I think that's the right number, in any case just use the offical release and not the beta). I've been told it's a known bug.

    Are you using the beta version (3.0) of Shrink? If so, try using version 2.3- do a backup without compression. Then open up the new-backed up files with version 3.0

    YES , this is the way to go . have done this myself with TDA's output. the reason to backup with 2.3 uncompressed and use 3.0 beta5 is that the latter has a feature called Deep Analysis that theoritically produces better video. good luck.
