Is there much (if any) difference between AnyDVD with Clone DVD and DVD Shrink

    From what I'm getting from the description they both do the same job but DVD Shrink sounds simpler as it's 1 piece of software as opposed to 2

    Hi,

    1) Anydvd is a supported ripper
    2) dvd shrink has not been supported since 2004
    3) CloneDVD works with Anydvd (was made for it)and transcodes the files to fit onto a dvd-5 disc
    4)Anydvd will work in the background and work with dvd shrink

    The info is from a friend of mine here at AD.

    Hope this helps :)

    Merry Christmas !

    CloneDVD2 is faster by the way.
    DVDShrink is free.
    DVDShrink morphed into Nero Recode, the same guy who wrote DVDShrink now writes Recode for Nero, go figure.
    Shrink has an older DVD compression program which will work on older DVD's but needs help with the newer ones as bryston said, CloneDVD2 has no ability to break into a DVD at all, can't even handle CSS.
    Not to start an argument between the two camps, but there really is no difference in the quality of the finished product from either program.

    To BIGTOXY69, Well said. However it is possible to have too many crap DVD programs. And pointless ones. Merry Xmas

    That part is true, however that is why you check the forums, as you did, before deciding on which ones to use. Also, none of the programs mentioned in this thread fall into the "crap" category, so you have nothing to fear :)
