You will see
that the other options in DVDFab (e.g. DVD to DVD) has a 30-Day trial
period. You can use them for 30 days. If you decide to buy some of them
after 30 days, fine, you will be able to compress and write, without using
any other program. If you don’t want to buy the full version, here is how
to continue: After the 30 days, you can still use the HD Decrypter
option. Open DVDFab and click on START DVDFAB HD DECRYPTER.
You will
notice that this version can still rip (copy) DVD’s, but are unable to
compress (shrink) the movie. So we are going to rip your movie with DVDFab
and compress it with another program called DVD Shrink. (If it does not need
compression, we only use DVDFab.)
The process
is the same as before. Insert the DVD you want to copy in your DVD writer,
and start DVDFab. Choose Full Disc or Main Movie. Now, have a look at the
file size of the movie (Marked as “13”). If it is larger than 4.43GB, and
you are using a DVD5 blank disc, it will need compression. If you are using
a DVD9 blank disc to copy your movie onto and the file is less than 8.5GB,
then you can just copy it without doing any compression. (You can’t change
the DVD5/9 option here – don’t worry about it)
Now if your
movie needs compression,
download DVD Shrink.
It is a full program and it is free. After you have copied all the files to
your hard drive with DVDFab, all the files will now be in the folder that
you have chosen.
►Download
and install DVD Shrink.
►Start
DVD Shrink.

to the folder where your DVD files are located, select the specific folder,
and click OK. DVD Shrink will do a quick analyzing. After analyses it will
look something like this:

Now click on the BROWSE

You will see there is a MAKE NEW FOLDER
option. This is where the compressed movie will
be copied to. If you want, you can browse to
the same folder where you have copied the files
to, using DVDFab. Now, create a new folder
there and rename it to something like
“Compressed Movie”. Click OK after you
have created the new folder.

Click on the QUALITY SETTINGS tab at the
top of the window. If your DVD gave you a 100%
(no-compression), then here you don’t have to
select anything. If not, mark the PERFORM
DEEP ANNALYSIS BEFORE BACKUP TO IMPROVE QUALITY
(Marked as “9”). Also mark COMPRESS
VIDEO WITH HIGH QUALITY ADAPTIVE ERROR
COMPENSATION (Marked as “10”), and then
select SHARP (DEFAULT) (Marked as “11”)
from the drop down list. You can play around
with the different options here, but the
SHARP (DEFAULT) will do just fine. It is
also not essential to perform the deep analysis,
but it is highly recommended.
