Wondering if there's any other programs around that do the same thing as DVD Shrink, but that are more recent?

Why? DVD Shrink does exactly what it's supposed to, it's not like there's been any changes in DVD format lately. So just update your ripper (preferably DVDFab) to deal with the latest copy protections and be done with it.

Depending on the amount of compression, not all movies will turn out great with DVD Shrink. If you can maintain something greater than 75-70% then it is good, otherwise use DVD Rebuilder/HCEncoder.

If you are doing just the movie it would be really rare to go to 60% or lower. Who watches all the extras anyway?

It is impossible to back-up 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Titanic' without having to use DVD Rebuilder.

I used to used AnyDVD to bypass encryption but DVDFab has proven to work better for me. Since DVDShrink isn't being made anymore, it can't handle Copy Protection like it used to. So this is my setup for making backups:
DVDFab HD Decrypter (to bypass encryption on DVD's)
Slysoft CloneDVD 2 (to remove any unwanted files like Warnings, PSA's, Trailers)
DVDShrink (to adjust compression equally to all sections of the movie so it can fit on a Single Layer DVD)
IMGBurn, CDBurner XP, Nero, Slysoft CloneDVD 2 (to burn the DVD to disc)
These are all suggestions and I do accept criticism where it is needed :)
Also, when burning a DVD, I found that you need to set your burn speed between 4x - 8x. Reason for this is I found that any higher or lower, you will get messed up video on screen or a nice coaster to place your drinks on LOL
ahhhhh!!! cobras

Depending on the brand of media you are using will leave you coasters. JVC (Taiyo Yuden) is the safest bet and most reliable, not even Verbatim anymore due to their constant vendor changes (India and China now). The burner itself plays a role too. Currently, I use an LG and occasionally burns homemade movies (HD Cam) at max speed of 16x to Memorex DVD-R -- scary but no coasters yet. I'm also reusing some Memorex 4x DVD-RW for "movies on the road" and they are showing problems.
My set up is as follows:
DVD Decrypter: works for my older DVD collection, and it rips very fast.
DVDFab:
DvdRemake: for editing menu buttons, keep/delete certain clips or extras.
DVDShrink: if compression rate is less than 20% (keeping at least 80% of original content).
DVD Rebuilder/HC Encoder: if compression rate is more than 20% (falling below 79% of original)

I use to use many of the programs mentioned here, but honestly once you get DVDFab you don't need any of the other programs except for maybe the Slysoft to remove unwanted files. But if you want ease, simple and quick just use DVDFab and don't worry about the unwanted files.
