MAGIX Shrinker
Use this option to reduce the amount of data on a DVD (shrink it) to be able to burn it onto a standard
4.7 GB (120 min) blank DVD. On the one hand, this function removes unimportant elements like
subtitles, alternative audio tracks and extras; on the other hand, it reduces the size of the actual video file
of the main film.
The files must be available in a non-copy-protected form, i.e. either on a non-copy-protected DVD or in
a folder on your hard drive.
Step 1:

Select the source folder (on your hard disk or on the DVD) containing the video data. Every
video DVD contains a folder with the name "Video TS". It contains the movie files, the so-called
VOBs. The folder will be analyzed automatically.

The chosen target folder target should be selected on a hard drive with enough free space.
Step 2:

You can choose between "Keep all structures" and "Remove all except main movie". Selecting
the complete structure makes sense only if the original size is no larger than 4.7 GB.

If you only wish to burn the main film, you can also reduce the size of the actual video material so
that it fits onto the DVD.

For DVDs with multiple language and sound versions, you can selected which sound tracks you
want under "Audio". For example, "de" stands for German, "en" stands for English.
Step 3:

"Start shrink" starts the shrinking and burning process. The current level of progress is visible on
the progress bar.

If you want to cancel this process – even during the shrinking process – click on "Cancel".
"Close" closes MAGIX Shrinker once the shrink process is finished.
