nice topic.alternative resource for movie fan out there.TQ
Wow! That’s pretty cool. I’ve seen other DVD shrinkers, but I may have to try that one now.
I tried this MAgic DVD. It working excellent. But it is not allowing to change any setting.
If we try to make any changes it gets locked
it has a virus on keygen
plz…send me download link
pls send mee download link….as soon as possible
Thats nice.
But If you want to burn DATA DVD then.
like 4.67 GB DATA includes backup. songs. pictures. movies.
SO how you can burn it on DVD-R OR DVD+R.
Because it shows in burning software DISC.INFO.
that this disc has FREE SPACE 4.38.
when you try to burn says not enough space..
How to compress the ALL data so it can fit in low space…
I have tried winrar, winzip and some others…
Magic DVD is not the exact software that I am looking for. I have used this and found one issue.
Under the option “SPLIT MODE”, you can customize the size of the movie to a particular size(say 700MB) BUT that doesn’t means that it will compress whole movie into 700 MB file. The “SPLIT MODE” only makes parts of the movie to the mentioned size and not whole movie. For e.g if one movie is taking around 900 MB space after conversion, then the “SPLIT MODE” will make 2 files of the movie. The 1st part will be of 700MB and 2nd part will be of 200MB. SO altogether you will get 2 parts that too of more than the mentioned size of 700 MB.
You can also try out another DVD Tools for Win users – Aimersoft DVD Ripper
Tenorshare DVD Ripper can help you do that job. It is a good dvd to other popular video formats conversion program.
You can also use dvdshrink if you have it. Custom size, rip to drive, then open what was ripped and shrink it again. Repeat as necessary. While this sounds like a lot, my pc can recompress in under 4 mins each time. Keeps decent quality too!
There are also some program that can fit up to 16 hours of video on a dvd, they compress to a lower resolution, but they can have problems playing on some players.
I love it, as the kids have smaller tvs in the playroom, they don’t need HD video. We don’t want the originals ruined, so we make the copy, then compress to cd, as cdrs are much cheaper, and we have a huge pack that we don’t use!
Thanx editor! I’ve tried several DVD rippers before. The best thing of the free DVD ripper is “Free of Charge” but I have to say that the paid tools are better with more features and stable performance. I think these two DVD rippers are deserved to try.
1. MacX DVD Ripper Pro. It is the fastest DVD Ripper I’ve ever used. It also decrypts DVD copy protections and converts DVD to iPhone Android compatible formats.
2. MakeMKV. This one is the good choice for Blu-ray DVDs. It converts DVD to MKV to preserve the original quality. But the shortage is that it only export videos in MKV with large file size.
2 things are wrong with rippers – converting from DVD takes forever, and you lose CC.
You can’t have CC on a single file video – or have to jump through the hoops, downloading the subs and merging them into video (only to find later that they are terribly out of sync, advanced by several seconds before the video).
That’s why I’m still using DVD shrink – copying the main movie only, and slightly compressing it to 95% of 100. Works fine under Win 10.
Avdshare Video Converter is the best MKV video compressor, shrinking the MKV files to a smaller size by converting MKV files to smaller video formats like AVI, MP4, 3GP, etc. and adjusting video bit rate, resolution, frame rate, etc.
Hi, thanks for your considerate sharing! I’d like to add another easy-to-use tool that missing from your list – Joyoshare Video Converter. It has 60X fastest conversion speed and can convert videos and audios without losing quality. I love it. Maybe you could consider it in your future update. Anyway, happy Halloween!
