Can DVD Shrink be used only to remove Macrovision or copyguard and NOT to shrink or compress a dvd ? I used to use DVD Decrypter for this but it is no longer available. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated Thanks!
Hi Gary3072 Shrink will compress the movie to fit on a single layer dvd. Since it's no longer updated it can't handle Macrovision copy protections and a few more. DVD Decryper can't handle the newer ones either w/o some help also. So you can rip w/ dvdfab decrypter (free) then open those files in Shrink and process as usual. http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm Or use RipIt4Me - all free too and uses DVD Shrink & DVD Decrypter. Here's a link w/ a guide and links to dl the programs needed. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110
DVD Decrypter can be found here: http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/DVD_Decrypter/1011845169/1 http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=DVD_Decrypter Both DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink are dated as rippers now, so you might want to consider DVDFab Decrypter or RipIt4Me. http://www.ripti4me.org http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm Guides: R4M - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110 DVDFab - http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=72681
One other question...can DVD Fab Decrypter be used to "shrink" a dvd to 4.7gb, or is DVD Shrink better for that ?
DVDFab decrypter is just a ripper (yes the user interface shows more but those options aren't available w/ the free version). Nothing wrong with that - Shrink will do the compression and is better for that than the paid versions of DVDFab.
