As many of you may have read in the past couple of days, it seems that Jeanl has stopped the development of the excellent tools FixVTS and MenuShrink. MenuShrink can convert a motion menu to a still menu and keep all functionality, which helps greatly with backups on single layer DVDs.

It is sad news that this has happened but its great that Afterdawn still can host these two programs. The other plus is if these are free ware and open source anybody can pick it up and continue the development of these excellent products.

I am not sure if this was a cease and desist order, though I have not read anything on it.

FixVTS has NOTHING to do with circumventing copy protection and neither does MenuShrink.

FixVTS does exactly what its name implies, it fixes the VTS. The only copy protection on a DVD is CSS encryption & Macrovision. Neither program can circumvent either.

If these software were banned because of circumvention of copyright protection, then they might as well ban DVD Players. They do more to circumvent protection than FixVTS and MenuShrink...
