Compress DVD

[nirbhayn]

Hi
I have these dvds which are 7 Gigs each, i put them through dvd shrink they become 4586 mb still too big for dvd5. i cannot compress anyfurther coz when i set it to custom compress then the bar is already brought down.
how do i work the way around this.

btw there are no subs-no extra audio.

One way would be to cut the Intro and the credits. BTW that is a lot of video file size reduction for DVD Shrink.

For that much reduction I would go DL, two disks or use DVD Rebuilder Pro ($15). DVD RB is slower and better because it re-encodes instead of transcoding, which is what Shrink does. Shrink is great for smaller reductions but does not do very well on the big stuff. DVD RB Pro even has the ability to specify just what file size you want.

Run them through DVDShrink again.

Dont forget to uncheck content you do not require , such as other language subtitle's and audio .

When dvdshrink has finished , open dvd content in pgcedit , visit all menu's with ?b listed , these contain button's .

Each button that nolong has functionality should be set to "nop" ... in other word's , if you hit them , they do nothing ... this is the easy safe way to avoid any menu command problem's ...

Dvd menu command's , for the most part , are different from dvd to dvd while essentially they perform the same function , not all use the same formula ... editing actual command's listed as an example , the first play title , is too complicated for newbie's to understand ...

Some have only a basic set , other's can have 100+ command set's .

Command's also have there "do's and dont's" , thank's to pgcedit , it is now made simpler to not only modify these , but it also confirm's if the command function is correct ... if it may work (pink) ... won't work (red) ... yellow and white are secondary command set's which perform various functionality control's and parsing ... click a command and it's linked item flash's blue .. this is correct and work's .

When nopping button's , pay attention to which one's you are editing ... click on the first button you wish to edit command , then click the wide box under the menu picture ... a new box appear's ... click on alphabetical , and sellect "nop" ... repeat as required .

Save dvd when done .

Test playback before burning .
