| I have been burning some DVD’s (with Shrink & Decrypter) and I’d like to keep them on my Hard Drive but obviously the files are to big. Is there a process like with audio CD’s (wav. to mp3, saved on the Hard Drive then transformed from an mp3 back to a wav. with software for an audio CD)? If so what software is best for this, where can I get it and how do you do it? You guys & gals are the best. Thanks Y’all Uncle Bob

| divxavi has great compression with good pc playback, but then you loose the ability to usually reburn for your set top box. You can usually compress with divx/avi a full dvd to 700 meg or less. Your best bet is if you have a burner......back them up to blank discs. Mpeg is the native dvd format, you'll not get any significant compression there, AVI or WMV will shrink the movie.

| DivX codec .avi is great. I store DVR-HDTV episodes in DivX then convert it to a DVD native format if I want to watch them on a large screen or share them with friends. It looks and sounds just like the original broadcast from the couch. You'll have the same experience with DVD content - DivX is an outstanding video codec. However, I don't think you can retain DVD menus or chapters...someone else should verify that though, I've never backed up DVDs with DivX. |
