DVDShrink
(ver 3.2.0.15)
Abandoned Freeware


DVDShrink is a transcoder that Decrypts a DVD like your 
TV video player does, then allows you to save the decrypted 
information to your hard drive at various levels of compression.    

Most DVDs are designed to prevent you from making copies.
The first preventative measure is encryption. Commercial DVD 
titles are often encrypted, which prevents you from either 
copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, 
being able to play the resulting files. DVDShrink overcomes 
this problem with built-in decryption algorithms.

The next problem is not so easy. Most DVD video titles are 
simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single 
recordable DVD-R disk. DVDShrink overcomes this problem by 
compressing or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD.

DVDShrink also allows you to re-author your DVD. You can make 
your own compilation from one or more source DVDs, or select 
only the parts of a DVD which you intend to view, thus preserving 
more space on your backup for the highest quality viewing.
