I'm a total newbie when it comes to burning dvd's.

So far I've managed to rip the dvd I'm trying to create a backup of to my hard disk using dvd decrypter. I've got an ISO and an MDS file there now.

SO I'm trying to compress it so that I can burn it onto a single dvd. I'm using dvd shrink. I open the disk image (I've tried the ISO and the MDS files). Then I hit Backup. on the next menu I set the backup target as Hard Disk Folder, and the target folder or output files as C:\Title_of_Movie

After that I hit ok and it starts encoding. That works fine for a few seconds then it either just stops and shuts off, totally freezes or gives me an error message. I can't remember the exact message now since the last couple tries has only netted me the freeze up.

Any suggestions? I've been using the doom9 site but I can't seem to get it sorted and I'm hoping I'm just missing somethig stupid. Worth a shot.

Thanks in advance.
