DVD Shrink updates to 3.1

Written by Lasse Penttinen @ 09 Jan 2004 20:53 User comments (20)

While being freeware, DVD Shrink is possibly the best of DVD compressed domain transcoders available. When it was discovered that the developer of Shrink worked for Ahead Software's Nero Recode, there was a lot of uncertainty about the future of freeware DVD Shrink.

But fear no more, since the fresh v3.1 is here. It now includes a installer/uninstaller, the pre-analysis have been tuned and the GUI somewhat improved. DirectShow is now utilized for previews and layer brake removal has been implemented. It also contains a few fixes.

I must say I truly like this version. The differences from beta 5 are most welcome, and the results seem to be what one would come to expect from DVD Shrink software; Outstanding!

The AutoShrinkIso ver 1.6 utility doesn't seem to work with the new version of DVD Shrink. Any ideas on how to make it work? Otherwise, the new update to DVD Shrink is excellent.

With the update when its done it ejects the disk and tells you to insert blank media and burns it for you just as fast as nero

Being able to specify the compression ratio separately for each title works great. I was able to backup a feature film using no compression on the main title and still include the "making of" feature (compressed to about 50% of original size using the automatic setting) on one DVD-R. All this and its FREEWARE that's actually pretty easy and logical to use. This is cool. DVD Decrypter + DVD Shrink + Plain ol' Nero 5.5 = DVD backups that actually work! Also, DVD Shrink works great for re-authoring back ups of episodic DVD9 discs like collections of 1/2 hour TV shows (splitting without the heartache). Again, compression ratios can be set per title or you can specify no compression at all. No fancy menus and stuff when you're done but the discs work in the stand-alone players that I've tried.

Uhhh.... Guess I'm still pretty much a newbie to the DVD back-up thing. Just learned that DVD Shrink does it's own decrypting. Who knew? Thanks to those who kindly cleared this up for me.

God Bless Jon Johanson, (whether he cracked CSS or not). I bow at his feet. The world bows at his feet. The Hollywood movie industry was a monolithic runaway beast before certain intelligent individuals put the kybosh on Hollywood's greed. CSS was the cancer. Jon was the cure. :-)
