DVD Shrink guide added

That's one of the finest 'How-To' articles I've ever seen! Clear-cut and very understandable, for one of the most popular and capable pieces of software available today. (We're SO lucky the author decided to develop past his version 1.03, which we had been led to believe would be the final issue). I hope the original DVD Shrink author takes note of this article, because IMHO it's quite worthy of being converted to .pdf format for inclusion with the shrink.zip archive itself. Job Well Done!!!

I looked through it and it looks pretty good. However, is there a section on re-authoring. I presume that will be an add-on to the guide. I've compiled one along with BaaBaa on Record Now Max 4.50. Have a look at it here: http://www.chrismccann.co.uk Select Record Now Max. Let me know what you think. You may be able to convert it for use in the Afterdawn Guides like the DVD Shrink. You'll also see that i/we are working on a range of other guides. Chris

Also in the bit of info above on it, you say competed instead of compete. Just thought id point it out

hi God dam EXCELLANT guide, that will be a great benifit to afterdawn users and myself! WELL DONE! Oriphus - pats on the back... keep up the great work... paul...

Oriphus: The re-authoring part will be a separate guide (page imps.. ;-) and will get that online later on. And thanks for pointing out the typo, I try to remember to fix it :-)

Hey thanks for the offer but I already got some help from your new support people. Sure am glad you got rid of those other guys. My DVD Xperss is working perfectly again. Just one question regarding dvd xpress and dvd shrink. Are they compatable? Can I use shrink to compress the dual layer disc and then burn it with dvd xpress?

bmhjdowen: Ummmmhhhh... What?! Didn't understand anything you said?

drd - check out http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/recordnowmax.htm and see if you want it - BaaBaa and i compiled it

Oriphus: Yep, we'll take a look and add it, but this one will probably take a while, we're seriously busy with couple of major projects right now. But much appreciated, as usual :-)

No probs, just trying to help out. Hope those projects end up making the sight better ;-)

I actually discovered DVD Shrink while surfing some freeware sites looking for add ons for my DVD software. Shrink stills has a lot of bug in it. It seems to me it takes anlong time to encode a dvd and most of the time it is not successful. It has been my experience that it processes anywhere from 80 to 90 percent of the files on your DVD then stops giving you an error message saying it has encountered a read problem in one of the files and can not continue. Is there any support info for this problem. I can't find the answers at the doom9 page.

At least the author has (apparently) decided to keep updating/developing DVDShrink, while still maintaing it's FREE status! He seems to take all suggestions and questions seriously. (I sorta figured he'd have been involved with 321 Studios by now), but it seems he wishes to maintain an independant stance for Shrink. It's a Win-situation for us if he does.

What a top guide this one is, 'The DVD Shrink guide for Dummies'. Thank you to all concerned for putting it together.
