DVD Shrink
DVD Shrink is a free and easy to use DVD ripping and "shrinking" program to backup DVD discs.
You can use this software in conjunction with any burning software, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice. The program will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero.
Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R or CD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem by modifying or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD. DVD Shrink provides two ways of shrinking your DVD disk. These are re-authoring and re-encoding. You can use one, or the other, or for maximum "shrinkage", both combined.
The programs simple and intuitive interface allows anyone to use it easily. All the major features are displayed according to the DVD authoring or burning process so that users can create a DVD, VCD, or SVCD very easily.
