Does anyone know of a software program on the market that will burn and shrink Blu-ray movies? Please help.

ImgBurn can be use to burn blu-ray movies. Alternatively you can use other products from Nero, Cyberlink, Ulead etc.

Why would you need to shrink blu-ray movies?

IIRC from the ChatBox, the original poster wants to backup dual layer (50 GB) Blu-ray discs to single layer (25 GB).

Right now there is no software like DVDShrink can do for DVD where you can still maintain all the menus and strip out the audio/subtitles you don't need.

In Blu-ray you can try to fit a 50GB movie to a 25GB disc by taking the main movie only (usually the bigest .m2ts file), strip out the audio and subtitle you don't want and keep only you want. You can use Tsremux or tsmuxer for this.

But there are some new movies that is impossible to fit into 25GB disc, usually long movies 2+ hours with high bitrates. If after the processing, the file is still larger than 25GB, you can split into a single BD-R 25GB and the rest to a DVD disc. Check out http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/bd2dvd...-guide-232165/

The reason I would like to shrink the movies is because a 50GB BR disk costs mucho buckos and if i can shrink a 44GB movie onto a 25GB disk I'm saving money. Also for some reason I can't seem to burn DVD movies onto a 25GB BR disk, does anyone have a solution for this? Please help. Thanks

What nonsense, It must be cheaper to BUY the original movie.

Why would you if you own the movie?.

At the moment it doesn't make sense, but I think it won't be long until prices will start tumbling that's when I want to be ready, plus my brother buys blu-ray's also, there's no use in both of us buying them right?

Uh, yes there is - you are only allowed to copy movies that you yourself own (and movies with unrestricted copying permissions).

Yes, I understand the laws of copyrights it's pretty bad when you have to buy 2 copies of movies even in your own family. It really bites. Oh well it's all in the future anyway because it seems like it will be some time before the software will exist.

It is not against the law for you to buy certain Blu-Ray DVDs, while your brother buys different ones, and you each copy your own, and watch one anothers' copies in the same home.... AFAIK

Also, if you check out Doom9, you might get a great foundation of being prepared to do exactly what you are wanting to do...

Yes that I know but he lives in his house and I live in mine. It really doesn't matter the Record and Film companies will never stop complaining about their stupid copyrights so it will always be a struggle no matter what and there will be laws added on to the laws already in place. One off these days we will have to buy the right to take a sh..t in this country.

Eh?? You want them to spend their money on nothing?

THINK!!
