DVD Shrink

Hi all

My problem:
Ich want to make a backup copy of a DVD, but I can’t shrink it. I’ve already tried with DVD Shrink and DVD2one. The problem is that the files on the DVD are numbered as follows:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_02_6.VOB
VTS_02_7.VOB
VTS_02_8.VOB

As you can see, the files aren’t numbered constantly. With DVD Shrink I get the error message that the program can’t find the file VTS_02_3.VOB. Therefore I encrypted the DVD on my harddisk and renumbered the files. Unfortunately without success. In it’s full version the movie plays perfectly, but takes 5,6Gb and thus doesn’t fit a normal DVD.
How can I shrink this DVD?

Thanks for your help!
Phil

try using DVD Decryptor to rip it to your HD first (give both the File and ISO methods a try)...then use DVD Shrink to try and compress to fit on a single layer disc.
