Re-Author in DVD SHRINK

[trase80]

i dont really get what re-author in dvd shrink is for if you already authored the dvd before that on the full disc page?can someone please explain what its for?

If you want to delete parts of the movie (extras for example) as well as the menu then you would use re-author. You select the portions to keep and if you select the movie only then you can minimize the amount of compression required. This will help retain as much quality as possible.

[trase80]

yes but you do the same thing on the first page wich is full disc.there is backup,full disc and re-author.what is the difference between full disc and re-author.

[glockjs]

in full disc you cannot get rid of the menu's and extra's. in re author you can just keep the bits and pieces you want like ZippyP said

[Bodyslide]

Full disc downsizes the entire disc to fit onto one DVD-R. Reauthor allows you to pick the movie and any extras that you want on the DVD.

After you pick which one you press the Backup button to start the process.

[trase80]

yes but in full disc i can also get rid of extras by putting in a still image instead.jus asking.

re-author doesn't require you to put in a still image - it allows you to JUST have ONE title if you wish, no still images, no menus or any shit like that. If you do movie only it also allows for the movie to start playing immediately upon insertion, and almost always gets rid of copyright warnings and the like.

You would generally only use re-author mode when you want main movie only, but for all else, just use the full backup part as per normal.

You dont get menus in re-author mode
