I use Nero Recode regularly, it is faster than DVD Shrink and its output results are very good. The only thing lacking is it reauthoring capabilities, you cannot edit your DVD to save a functional menu which is something that CloneDVD allows you to do. But as far a transcoders go Recode is one of the better ones.
you mean creating workable smaller menus? so you say quality is right with recode.. it is fast thats why i like it and also i already have it
