I recently downloaded dvdfab portable application. The problem with this is it will take the protection off but it wont shrink it down, so i am wondering if there is a portable application for dvd shrink on the net, where it is and is it free, if not does anybody know any similar portable application that wiil shrink down a dvd, iv got the full version of dvd shrink on my pc but i want a portable one, while we are on the subject of dvd shrink iv noticed it will not work with any dvd movies made by Sony i think its the protection they use (something like arcos im not sure of that spelling)is there anything i can do about this. Thanks
You have found a newer movie that shrink cannot handle.Soooooo
1) decrypt to HDD with dvdfab HD (free version) Or use paid for version
2) process files (all) with fixvts 3) shrink files with dvd shrink, output as iso/image to HDD
4) burn iso/image file with IMgburn
There is no portable version of dvd shrink, as it is not being updated anymore....not in the past 5 years or so. Brother Endo gave you a list of the recomended freeware route to backup your movies.
I want this as a portable just in case i visit someone who have a dvd movie i want, but has protection on, and they cant/wont lend me it and have not got the applications on their pc to shrink it and or decrypt it, but then i will have these programs on my memory stick.
So why is there a forum for dvdshrink as thats mainly why people use this program, anyway let me put it this way then, if i go to a mates and he has a homemade dvd but its bigger than 4.7gb and he has not got an application on his pc that will shrink it and he wont lend it to me and i want a copy i can use my portable app to shrink it, so is there a portable application that can shrink a dvd down to 4.7gb, is that better i dont want to get into trouble, thats what i meant in the first place.
