Ok ladies, dvd shrink only works if you have a dvd that you want to burn in your drive. I dont. The dvd was burnt to my comp last year. So On The Rocks and its 2 specials are both on my computer this very moment in time. And i can watch em on DivX players. The files arent too big to put on disc. BUT they obviously need to be converted to another format in order for me to copy em off my comp onto a blank disc. And once they're copied they should play on other comps without the need for the files to already exist on whatever comp they're to play on. So confuzzling. Im thinking of retiring from technology. What do you think? Try opening file/s through DVD Shrink if you re-rip it can work I have done this so I know. Are you able to place the files as they are on a dvd? If you can than for me personally it isn't a problem...

WOOOT! Ok it was like the Da Vinci Code but i cracked it. Anywhos i found a good converter thingy and i think thats all i needed coz it automatically compresses the files. Basically i've made em Mpg's, but i'll prob make em Avi's. The problem was they wouldnt have played on anyone elses computer because you wouldnt have already had the dvd on it. Complicated but thats what the issue was. And jenaddict no i wasnt able to just copy the files to a disc otherwise i would have. But should be good now. I'll let ya's know.

pixietrix, what worked? What program? My friend has the Ade interview w/Wogan on her computer and it's not wanting to copy onto a dvd. I think she is having the same problem you had. So let me know what you did.

Yay for Ruth!!! I found something for you that works, but you seem to have it all sorted jenaddict- I got a program that copies the whole dvd to your computer (freeware too so its not a trial!) and it removes the copy protect at the same time! Yay! I think I'm alright now- i can use it with DVDShrink If anyone wants the program and stuff- i'll put the URL up here where you can download it. its not a huge download

Oh yep this is what I got: www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_download.asp?fid=22626&fileidx=1Its called Ezy DivX- I didn't try this one, but its freeware and not a trial version.. www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/This one has DVD shrink and also DVD decrypter which you will need to do first if its copy protected (also both freeware). I opened the dvd in DVD Decrypter and selected the dvd in the drive and then clicked decrypt. it took about 40 mins to do it- including all the menus and special features, and then in DVD shrink I opened the video files from where they had been saved to. I didn't actually want to write that dvd onto a blank disc so i stopped there, but it worked fine till then at least. I could probably try it on a short dvd I've made to see if it works perfectly. Can you let me know if it all works according to plan after that point if any of you guys use it? Also I was wondering how to upload photos. I want to add a pic to the Dot Lookie Likies but I don't know how (actually I worked it out- you simply email them!) Thanks!
