![]() ![]() There are lots of customizable parameters within it which are quite self-explanatory. ![]() DVDFab is a great program I formerly used it under Windows and it works really, really well. It sounds complicated - and I guess it is! I wish DVDFab (Fengtao) would produce a Linux-compatible "pay" (full) version. This is not necessary - you can send that folder anywhere you want - just remember where you sent it! - but, by placing everything within that DVDFab folder, I find it easier to find just what I'm looking for!)Īfter all that, then you will have a VIDEO_TS folder of 4.472MB or less and you can burn that. (When I make other VIDEO-TS folders, either with DVD Shrink alone, or with k9copy and DVD Shrink, I specify that the resultant produced folder should appear within DVDFab. (k9copy doesn't appear to always shrink the VIDEO_TS file completely.) Generally, you will see DVD Shrink say that the folder it produces will be 97% - 100% of that k9copy-produced VIDEO_TS folder. Run your cursor over the icons until you see the word Copy.)Īfter k9copy a has done its thing, THEN use DVD Shrink (again) to compress the VIDEO_TS folder that k9copy has produced - not the VIDEO_TS folder that was produced by DVDFab HD Decrypter. (After you set those parameters, just click on "copy" which you will find on an icon that says DVD. YOU have to "tell" it that you want to process a folder AND that you want the resultant items to be produced as another folder, not an ISO file. Now you are going to have to mess around - k9copy thinks you want to process a disc. If that is the case, and you want the entire original disc copied as is, run k9copy on your original VIDEO_TS folder, the one that was originally produced by DVDFab HD Decrypter. This will lessen the size of the folder.īut often that is not what you want to do. Now there are two things you can do: one is to eliminate a soundtrack or an "extra" program. (When processing is finished, even prior to trying to burn, at the top you will also see the resultant size along with a red line at the end of the green line which shows the processed size if you see this red line, you cannot burn a single-layer disc. MOST of the time, DVD Shrink will produce a VIDEO_TS folder which is 4.472 (or 4.464) MB in size occasionally it will not and when you attempt to burn a disc, you will see a warning message apprising you of that fact. (DVD Shrink's default compression is to 4.464MB personally I have set the Custom shrink option to 4.472MB but the difference is minor.) In the event that the VIDEO_TS folder is larger than 4.472MB, I then generally use DVD Shrink on that resultant VIDEO_TS folder (using the Open Files section on DVD Shrink) to compress the folder. (A Temp and sometimes a Log folder are also produced in the main DVDFab folder these can be ignored and/or deleted.) You'll also see an AUDIO_TS folder which will be empty. Within THAT, you will find the title of the disc you copied and within THAT you will find the necessary VIDEO-TS folder. Within that, you will see a folder called Full Disc. Just copy, then okay the copied successfully message, click on Finish, and then close the program.ĭVDFab HD Decryter will "break" the copy-guarding and will produce a DVDFab folder in your Home Folder. Make especial note: you MUST NOT attempt to modify, investigate, or manipulate DVDFab HD Decrypter IN ANY WAY or the program will freeze. If it is larger, further processing is necessary (unless you want to use an expensive dual-layer blank disc). If the VIDEO_TS folder is 4.472MB or less, fine. This will NOT be compressed by DVDFab HD Decrypter but will be full-sized. Only the VIDEO_TS folder is necessary for further processing. This will produce AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. Now here is how I archive copy-guarded discs: First I run DVDFab HD Decrypter. Okay, let me explain a bit further: of the programs mentioned here, the best ones I have found are DVDFab HD Decrypter, the free version, which is the only version that will run under Wine (currently 5.1.0.0), DVD Shrink 3.2, installed and run under Wine, and, when necessary, k9copy 1.2.3, an "official" Linux program.
