Hi all, Ive been using the search engine and found some useful info on what software to use to back up episode discs. I have decided to go with DVD shrink. As each DVD i want to back up has 4 episodes, each at 1.8gb, i dont htink it will be such a good idea to compress.
I would be greatful if somone could give me the steps so i can split each dvd into 2 dvd-rs, however keeping the menus on both dvds. from those experienced users, what do u think the quality will be like if i compressed the whole dvd onto 1 dvd-r.
I have read somwhere you have to compress so 2 episodes to stills??? not sure how to do this and why?

Read the last part of the guide linked at the end of my post. Should explain not only how to do it, but also how to disable the buttons that launch the episodes that are compressed to still frames. But disabling the buttons requires the registration of a cheap but sweet program to do so.
Also the new Nero Recode that comes with Nero 6 Ultra (the web edition of it anyway) can out right remove the episodes and replace them with a still fram e saying that the video was removed. I haven't used it yet thought so I don't know how, I just know it can do it. -

Flaystatus, thanks for the links, thats exactley what i was looking for, it all makes sense, it just that i havent played with editing the menus before, so i hope thats gonna work.
Thanks for that, I will try this weekend. -
I did 24 season 1 disc 1 with level 9 for each of the four episodes with dvdshrink 2.3. Looks fine for me ...usually though I never go over level 6.
