  1. Hi, i've got a few movies still on my harddrive and would like to know if I can make a second copy without having to backup using shrink. They have already been decrypted and I have backed them up once using shrink. Is there a way that I can now just burn them using dvddecrypter or do I have to click the back up button on shrink and wait for that to run first.
    Cheers.

    once shrink completes shrinking a disc, it writes either an image file, or a video_ts directory to your hard drive. You can always burn out multiple copies of these files.

    As akrako1 posted you either have an image file or VIDEO_TS folder on your harddrive after DVDShrink finished. Which one do you have? How did you burn the first DVD? Use that same method to burn the second one. A little more research on your part with specific / targeted questions when you're confused will solve this for you. If this is too difficult then I'd suggest repeating everything you did to make the first backup to make the second one.

  5. I do have a video_ts folder and I use decrypter to burn. However when I backup using shrink, decrypter automaticaly opens with the correct files to burn. I don't know how to get those files into decrypter manualy.
    Cheers.

    If you have DVDShrink configured to automatically burn using DVDDecrypter, you must specify a "temporary" ISO file for it to create on the hard drive, and it then feeds this into DVDDecrypter. So just go into DVDDecrypter, change to ISO Write mode, and specify this ISO file ... OR you could just place the first backup you burnt in your drive and follow the instructions here.
    If in doubt, Google it.
