UPDATE Burning DVD's

I have had alot of requests on how to burn DVD's. The get started you need to download DVD Shrink and NERO Burning Rom . DVD shrink is free, where as Nero has a trial version.

After you have installed both programs, launch DVD Shrink. DVD shrink allows you to take your dvd, compress it to fit on a standard DVD+R/-R. Follow these steps to copy the DVD. Please be aware this is only to be used to copy dvd's you have created and not commercial dvd's. This is prohibited by law.

1. Click on the open disc tab: this will tell the program which drive the dvd is in:
2. Next click the analysis tab. This scans your dvd. It takes a few minutes depending on the speed of yor dvd drive and your pc.
3. After this is done, you are ready to copy the movie to your hard drive. Click the backup button, the progam will ask you where you want ta save the movie. Make sure you no where the movie is being saved. You will need this location to burn the dvd.
4. The convesion process can take some time depending on your pc hardware. Once the movie has been ripped to your hard drive, close DVD Shrink.

Now that you have the movie on your hard drive, open NERO burning rom.

1. Select DVD, and then select dvd video. Nero will now open the program to burn your movie.
2. You will see a selection that says audio and video. you should also have the same folders on your ripped movie on your hard drive. Drag the dvd video folder on your hard drive to the dvd video folder in nero.
3. Insert your dvd
4.click the burn button


your done, I will be adding screen shots soon.
