DVD Shrink Software
DVD Shrink Software
I saw DVD Shrink software in my PC Magazine Best Free Software for 2007 issue, downloaded it and have copied two DVD's perfectly using it. Has anyone else used this software to backup their DVD collections? It's free and quite simple to use. Once it has completed ripping your DVD disc it automatically starts up NERO to burn your DVD. Just curious if any of you have used this in the past and what your thoughts are?

I rarely use it anymore. The program hasn't been updated since the end of 2005, plus it don't bypass hardly of the current copy protection.

I use to copy a lot of DVDs, but I've kinda got out of the practice of it lately. I always used DVD Shrink with AnyDVD and it worked on 99% of all DVDs I tried.
With my new rig having 2 DVD burners, I tried to copy a movie this morning before my kids could get ahold of it. I ended up using DVDFab Decrypter, DVD Shrink with Nero and it wouldn't work. I'm just chalking it up to being out of practice and will give it a shot later in the week.

Do you have AnyDVD loaded on your new rig? Nothing does it better than AnyDVD!DaIceMan wrote:I use to copy a lot of DVDs, but I've kinda got out of the practice of it lately. I always used DVD Shrink with AnyDVD and it worked on 99% of all DVDs I tried.

What movie was it that wouldnt copy? A cpl new ones for whatever reason wont let you copy the complete disc properly. You need to just copy the movie and nothing else.

I won't copy the movie without the menus. Previews and such can die, but I won't give up the menus just to get 3-5% less compression.camaroguy1998 wrote:Do you have AnyDVD loaded on your new rig?

Yeah, I have AnyDVD running. The movie was Open Season. It copied, and looks like it was fine. The opening Sony logo was there, but the prevews I blanked were gone and it just played black screen for like a minute. I pressed menu and it looked like it was loading a menu, but it was a black screen again.

DVDFab takes the enitre DVD (full 7.5gb) and dvdshrink takes the entire dvd and shrinks it to fit onto a 4.5gb disktnynyn wrote:Used DVD Shrink for DVD9 and it works great! Easy interface and love the option where I can take out the annoying commercials in the beginning. Also anyone know the difference between DVDFAb and DVDShrink?

yeah, I just downloaded it last week. I think it might have been something I did with vobBlocker, as I'm very new to the program (just found about it over the weekend. I'm going to do a bit more research and try a different movie as well.tomato wrote:Out of curiousity, were you using the newest versio of AnyDVD? Since you are out of practice, they are constantly releasing new versions of AnyDVD as new copy protections are being created...

Both shrink and decrypter aren't being updated anymore. A lot of the newer discs won't be copyable using those programs. Pick up dvdfabdecrypter. It's free and is updated regularly.rockcola wrote:DVD Shrink is starting to not work anymore. Even with AnyDVD I have been having trouble with shrink lately. DVD Decrypter has given me more success.
