Can I use the free DVD Shrink (www.dvdshrink.org ) to speed up DVD backup?
Yes, you can use DVD Shrink or any program that creates DVD images on your hard disk and use M²Convert Pro to burn the image to a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD+R DL. To do that: • Place the DVD that you want to backup in your computer DVD drive. • Start DVD Shrink. • Click the Open Disc button, and browse to your DVD drive to open the DVD movie. • The Full Disc backup will be selected on the toolbar by default. • Click the Backup button. • In the Backup DVD dialog box, click the Select backup target dropdown box to select Hard Disk Folder. • In the Select target folder for DVD output files text box, enter a drive and folder location for the temporary output files. This location should be able to store at least 4.7 gigabytes. Then click OK. • You will be notified when DVD shrink finishes encoding the DVD. • Start M²Convert Pro • Choose File->Burn DVD • In the Burn DVD – Source Type dialog, choose “Disk DVD Image”.
