dvd shrink?? burn question

does dvd shrink work with any other program other than nero to burn dvd's??

 

dvddecrypter....fantastic freeware application.
HIGHLY recommended

 

i can never figure out how to burn to a disc. i get the part of saving to the hard drive but then i get confused with burning to the dvd.

can you help?

 

If you have DVDShrink (DS) and DVDDecrypter (DD) its quite simple. When you're compressing an image in DS, check through the tabs. There's an option to compress the image, and automatically burn with DD.

Unfortunately, I'd have to reference my install at home to be any more specifc.

 

i uncheck the box that said burn with nero. do you thing that would help? this was in DS.

 

DVD decrypter does not burn DVDs AFAIK.

It needs ImgTool to do that, and even then, it uses the Nero engine, which requires it be installed.

 

Yes. If you do not have DVD Decrypter, save your shrunken DVD as an .iso image. You can then use Imgburn http://www.majorgeeks.com/ImgBurn_d4870.html to burn that image to a disc.

 

is ther a free version of nero out (majorgeeks?) that i can download. i have an old copy that cam with my other pc that does not seem to work (i thing nero burning rom 5).

 

The Nero 5 that came with your other PC is an OEM copy. It will not work with any PC other than the computer it came with.

As for your other question, there are trial versions of Nero available but they don't give it out for free.

 

Yeah, it does! You have to set it in ISO write mode (Mode --> ISO --> ISO Write). This is done automatically if it is configured to do so in DVDShrink.

This works flawlessly for me, and sure beats paying for Nero. I will check my install of DS tonight, and post specific instructions.

 

Majorgeeks has a free trial download of Nero 7.

Here is the link.

how do config dvd shrink to do this automatically? still trying to figur that part out... can you give ma a step by step low down...

 

When you are ready to backup the DVD, a window will open called 'Backup DVD'. Select the first tab which is labeled 'Target Device'. There will be a drop-down menu under 'Select Backup Target'. Set it to 'ISO Image File and burn with DVD Decrypter'. After DVD Shrink processes your disc, it will then automaticallylaunch DVD Decrypter to burn the DVD image it made onto a DVD disc. When DVD Decrypter is done, you can then delete the DVD image file if you wish. As long as you don't change that setting, it will continue to do so each time.

 

Butt it does, And here's How:
