dvdshrink 3.0 beta 5 problem

[spur911]

I have been having a problem with the new beta. I cant seem to use the reauthor feature consistently. More often than not, when you click 'reauthor' none of the files show up for drag/drop. Any ideas what might be the problem and a possible remedy?

huh/hmm?? Just to double check, you are aware that for DVD Shrink 3 (all betas) the re-author function has been modifed. When you click re-author it opens a new (2nd) windows. You can then drag/drop files from the 1st window, to the 2nd/new one. Then you hit back-up when you're ready.

Boy I hope this changes with the final release. 2.x was a lot easier and intuitive in the re-author mode. I love this program soooo much, but will probably stick with 2.x if the forced drag-n-drop thing stays.

I think the drag n' drop is much easier. I just put 2 DVDs together on one disk with it and it works perfectly. thats actually my first time using the Re-author function, and knowing me I try it with a more advanced project (combining DVDs) but it was easy as cake. ........ How easy is cake anyway?

I too think the drag and drop in DVD Shrink 3 is easier.

I rip both movies
Open DVD Shrink
Open first movie
Press Re-author (Window 2 opens)
Drag out first movie to window 2
Open Second Movie on window 1
Drag second movie to window 2
Close window 1
Do my biz on window 2
Backup

Apparently DVDShrink (the author) doesn't like floating windows. So it will probably be changed for the final version.

For those of you who don't already know, this is what the GUI for v3.0 Final (V3.1?) might look like:
