The official homepage of the DVD Shrink, an extremely popular freeware DVD backup software, has closed its doors, at least temporarily. According to the webmaster of Doom9, this has nothing to do with possible legal issues, etc. Instead, the official website of DVD Shrink was hosted and developed by a third party and simply just endorsed by the author of DVD Shrink as the "official" website of the software.
The development of DVD Shrink had already ceased, the last version of the tool was released more than a year ago and, in case you haven't noticed, Nero Recode looks strikíngly similar to the DVD Shrink..
So, no need to spark any conspiracy theories -- DVD Shrink still exists and can be easily downloaded from several reliable sources, including AfterDawn.com.
Here's the download link to the most recent version of DVD Shrink:
