when you open anydvd a little fox head should be at the bottom right of your screen by your clock. that's it, now open shrink and rip away. peace
yup it runs in the background so you really dont have to do anything but make sure the fox is red,means the program is running,there are a few settings in there you can mess with if you want like jump dircitly to the main movie and removing trailers.
