DVD Shrink is what you'd use to get the movie down to a size suitable for burning a single layer DVD. Nothing to do with 'uploading' (assuming you mean putting this movie out on a peer-to-peer sharing network.

yeah id like to get it onto divx then on to a p2p, hmm so i take it i didnt need to use dvd shrink then? could you give me info on wot to use

I can give you a couple of suggestions for converting to XviD/DivX (autoGK, or FairUse Wizard), but I don't upload stuff so you're on your own on that one.

We have a P2P forum that I'll transfer this thread to..

OK done.

yea i mainly need to figure out how u go about rippin advd then convertin it to divx , so will autogk or fairuse do that for me n how do u go about doing it? is there a tutorial for them or is it easy to use

FairUse Wizard will rip the original DVD and take you through the setup stages very easily. Haven't used AutoGK myself but others say it is very good.

kool im just going to give it a try, cheers for the help imkidd57, ill get bk tomoz and see how i get on,as im up prety early tomoz for work,thanks again

FlaskMPEG can also convert DVD files to a DivX compliant .avi file.

kool, is this a free program coz i noticed the other one wasnt free and it would leave a watermark on the file

I just have to ask why do you want to convert from Video_TS files? To have a smaller quality lost file? I thought they were your friends

FairUse Wizard Light is free if you set the output file size to less than 700 MB.

There is another version by celtic_druid which is completely free and doesn't have that restriction.

Yeah it's freeware.

You might want to post this topic over at the Videohelp.com forums. You'd get a lot more recommendations for the kind of software that you're looking for over there.

honestly i havnt got the slightest idear wot to do lol as u seen i used dvvdshrink becouse ony of my friends said thats wot u used to do it and obv it wasnt, iv been pulling my hair out tryn to figure this out, im just tryng to follow and figure out with the links that the other ppl have posted wich is very nice of them,cheers ppl


.iv d/loaded films n episodes and uploaded them to the likes of stage6,dailymo,youtube but this is the first time iv tryd to rip a dvd and burn,and its a total pain in the bkside

If it'a a copy protected disc/file then you will need something like AnyDVD to strip out the protection. Then you can use Shrink to shrink it down but that is still a quality lost. If you use AnyDVD's ripper then the whole disc/files will be there to do whatever you want to but maybe it will be 8.5 gigs and no quality loss. Just upload the Video_TS folder.

ahrite cheers m8 i might try that out

im kinda stuck at wich files u load on to that, do you just put them all on

There is an FAQ under the website 'support' tab, which deals with this issue:
