  1. Im trying to backup a dvd of mine and im using ifoedit to get rid of some of the extra's so i can fit it on a dvd 5. Well, i did that and the movie is still too long. So, i wanted to use dvdshrink to slim the movie down a bit. Well, when i point dvdshrink to the files it wont do anything cause of all the files im missing. Is there a way to edit an ifo so that when i load up dvdshrink it doesnt even look for those missing files? The reason im doing it this way and no reauthoring it, is cause i want to keep the menu's. Thanks much.

    Just use Shrink without preprocessing with IFOEdit.

    Do Full Backup
    Replace the extras you do not want with "Still Images"
    Compress the menus

    or...
    - Use titlesetblanker to remove the extras (assuming they live in a titleset of their own, with nothing else you want to keep in it), or vobblanker (if the above isn't true).
    - Then use Shrink.

    This works flawlessly for me, every single time, and it's very fast (titlesetblanker blanks instantaneously). Doing it with IfoEdit is also good, but much much more time consuming and you can make mistakes. Titlesetblanker is a 1 click (well, a couple in fact) solution.
