BITS Orlando Computer Repair explains how to DVD shrink and copy DVD
Do you have a video or data DVD you need to make a DVD copy of? Making a DVD copy can be an unwanted chore. Having to know things such as dual layer DVDs cannot be copied directly to a single-layer DVD disc. Dual layer DVDs have twice the amount of video, audio, or data than a single layer DVD. Luckily, there is a great program called DVD Shrink. DVD Shrink will help with this dilemma.
DVD Shrink allows you to compress the video on the dual layer DVD to fit onto a traditional DVD. The best part is that you can’t notice the loss of quality resulting from the video and audio compression. It’s also very simple to use which makes this program your go to program for DVD copying.
First you load up the program and wait for the initial scanning of the disc.
After this point, you will notice that there are options to choose to remove parts of the DVD such as menus, various languages, etc… to reduce the amount of compression needed. It’s really not necessary to do this, but feel free to play with these settings as you like.
At the top of the screen, you will notice a “back-up” button. Press this button once you are ready to make the copy of the DVD.
After you press backup you might get a screen about RCE protection. Either choose your region or leave RCE as is.
After this screen you will get one about the Target Device. If you don’t have Nero installed, you will have the option to just create an ISO to burn later. Click “ok” and let run. If you had Nero it will copy DVD directly to your blank disc, if not then you will have an ISO that you need to burn with other DVD burning software.
