Hows it going everyone my names Nick and I am new here. Im a member on alot of forums and I know how annoying it is when people ask questions that have already been answered. I read some of the stickies and did some reasearch. All it did for me is make me confused and made me feel like im extremely stupid lol. I was reading about dvdshrink and downloaded it and then I came across imgburn now I notice people asking if they can use imgburn instead of nero for dvdshrink. I downloaded the new dvdshrink to use with imgburn but I am wondering why cant you just use imgburn to make an image and then burn it to a disc. Why is dvdshrink still needed ? I am trying to back up my dvds just like everyone else can someone please help and try to explain in an easier way then these 50 step guides lol is it really that hard to do... btw I am using windows 7

thanks in advance, Nick

Hi and welcome, however in future please see here about thread titles ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/440385

It really is simple, imgburn or Nero can't copy discs due to the encryption, hence why Shrink (though very outdated with regards to encryption) and similar programs are needed (plus Shrink obviously shrinks (compresses) the video so as to fit movies onto blank discs that otherwise wouldn't fit.
Please read thru the sticky in this forum and it'll make sense. Look out for keywords DVDFab and AnyDVD (which pretty much do the same thing as each other).
As to Windows 7 see here for programs i've tested under Windows 7 ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/769480#4661854

And please make sure to use meaningful thread titles in future.
