You can use Shrink to encode and then your burning program, but Shrink will not work on all DVD's especially the newer protected ones. Then it is better to use DVD Decrypter which can still handle the protection. When you use Decrypter you can either rip in file mode or iso mode. Either will work in Shrink. I usually use file mode because it rips better. If you have ripped in file mode just go to the open file tab and find you movie folder and Shrink will open it, if you have ripped in iso mode then go to the file tab and then open disk image and find the MDS file and open it. It is easier if you read the guides on both of these programs for a better explanation on them. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/backup with Decrypter&Shrink.pdf
