Schindler's List full backup

[tommy99]

What is the best method to do a complete backup of this. It is only one disk but double-sided - you need to flip to side B to complete the movie and for the bonus material.

I was going to give DVD Fab a try but don't quite get this flipping the disk over to finish the movie. None of my DVD's are like that - it is the first I've seen of this.

Any advice appreciated!

Search for Goodfellas, the disc is the same and the backing up of that has been discussed repeatedly.

Use DVD Shrink and compress each side to fit on a separate disc. I wouldn't try to cram both sides onto one disc, because your video quality will definitely suffer.

Well, it depends if you want all the extras or not, or if you want them on one disk or not. You have a few options. If it were me, I would do the following:

Personally I want quality over quantity, so I would use DVD Shrink to take just the movie. I am guessing that you would have to first shrink one side of disk and then shrink the other. After that you can then combine the two thus making one movie. There is a good guide for this, search the guide section. Ensure when you are shrinking that you keep with the 4.3 Gb mark.

If you want the extras, jus put them on another disk.

hope this helps

Perfect, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I read this about DVD2one . It may be of use to you

With this tool you can make movie-only and full disk copies for personal use on a single DVD-Recordable. You can also copy double sided or several DVD-Videos two one DVDr(new in version 1.3.0).

I just used CloneDVD and made a separate DVD for each side.

Actually backing it up is considerably different than Goodfellas. I believe Goodfellas is a DVD 10 (single layered, dual sided) Schindler's List is a DVD 18 (dual layered, dual sided). The menu/extras size on the first disk is minimal, so a full disk backup with DVD shrink would work well and keep the 'flip to side B' message working. You can full backup the second side as well.

If you don't like having two disks you can shrink it all to one and have horrible quality (its about 16gb I think) or buy some dual sided DVDR's.

Yep, basically just use DVDShrink to rip, shrink, and combine both parts of the movie. I have yet to get this one, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of compression ratio's we can get away with. So far, the LOTR extended editions are the only DVD's that I haven't crunched down onto 1 disc.

I was recently given the schindlers list dvd as a gift for my birthday. I wanted to make a back up of this movie but when I went to dvd shrink to rip it to my hard drive it would only get 60% throught the analyzing stage when it said there was a read error and couldnt go on. It retried many times but couldnt continue. I then took the movie into dvd decrypter to rip to my hard drive and it did the same thing in the same place. This is a new dvd and has no scratches or marks on it. What can I do next? I understand that this is a double sided disc. Any ideas as to what to try?
Thanks, this site has been sooo helpful to people like me who have little knowledge of this sort of thing and no one who we know of to personally ask.

I think the compression ratio with dvd shrink was around 60% for each side with a full backup...movie only only gained about 1-2%, but you probably could get a little higher chopping the credits. I am probably watching it tonite, looked good when I tested afterwards, but you don't really know until you watch it through.

I re-encoded that first side, Movie and DTS sound, using DVD2SVCD and CCE. Then I used DVD Shrink for the second side, Movie and DTS sound. Got 100% quality on the second side and excellent quality on the first side. Plus was able to keep DTS, which I will choose over Dobly Digital anyday. If I want to watch the extras, I'll just pop in my original.
