Reducing size of ISO files

[yh125d]

Hey AT

I have a bunch of my movies I've ripped with DVD decrypter, and I'm wondering if there's an easy, one step, free way to reduce the size of the files? I don't need the menus, extra features, previews, subtitles, and only a couple of the audio tracks

TIA

DVDFab will allow you to create an ISO from just the main movie

DVD Shrink.

Another vote for DVD Shrink. I always use it to create ISO's, and then Alcohol to burn them. Never has it failed me.

Definitely one of the best.

I agree, it's excellent. :thumbsup:

I have DVDshrink, and it will let me rip just the main movie to ISO, but it won;t let me take an already ripped ISO and remove everything else, at least that I've found. I really don't want to re-rip my collection

What you want to do is edit and compress the ISO file.

ISO Compress

Why not just burn your ISO file to a disk then re-rip it with Shrink? It is probably quicker and easier, and relatively hands off.

You don't need to burn the ISO to re-rip it.
Just install an virtual CD/DVD software and mount the ISO to the virtual drive.

DVD Shrink can read ISO files directly.

clonedvd 2 gives more options than dvdshrink, unchecking things selectively while keeping menu.
course you gotta make sure it really fits a single layer dvd if thats what ur going for or else its recompression😛

I hear that Microsoft provides a free tool to mount ISOs to virtual drives. I've installed it but haven't tried it yet.

Hit the "Re-author" button in DVD-Shrink. It'll let you select which part of the DVD you want to keep and which to remove.
