Copy DVD9 to DVD5 with only two FREE tools

[dougry]

Okay, I think you know how to use DVDShrink. Once you have you VIDEO_TS folder use a free burner called Burn4free

Click on ADD to add the VIDEO_TS folder to the compilation and then click Burn Data.It's that easy!! Make sure you add the VIDEO_TS folder. If you open up the VIDEO_TS folder and add the files inside, it will work but not properly. I have already did it the right way and the wrong way.
It's like using Record Now Max, but it's free

thanks for info and welcome to the boards

Pass the word around. If you are like me and you saved a bundle by getting a DVD Burner with no software, then this is for you!

I have done it both ways as well. If you do not burn your files in a VIDEO_TS foulder they will not play in a standalone dvd player. They do seem to play in a computer dvd player.

Mine played in a standalone but it saw each VOB as a chapter rather than the actual chapters and only the first VOB had sound. Plus the 16:9 aspect was more like a zoomed in 4:3

DVD Players are picky.

You usually NEED a VIDEO_TS folder, and sometimes you even need an AUDIO_TS folder as well!

Note: A lot of standalone DVD players out there don't work with data DVD movie backups.
