how dvd shrink works - does it re-encode, compress or what?
 
I was just wondering if some one could explain to me how dvd shrink works, does it re-encode , compress or what?

Sorry if its a stupid question but i am just trying to find out if when making a kdvd with 2 or 3 films it would be better to make a larger file with a higher cq and then shrink it before burning.

Thanks.

It transcodes. That means that some frames are left untouched, and some are recompressed.

Yes, but don't make it THAT much larger, because the transcoder will compress more, and you'll get less quality. But this is a good idea, and it has already been discussed in the forum.
So go ahead and encode your KDVDs at a higher CQ, and let DVD Shrink re-fit your mpegs ;)
