I've seen ppl who say they use DVD decrypter before DVD shrink. Is this necesssary all the time, or only if DVD shrink can't decrypt?

That was only if Shrink couldn't decrypt the movie. The problem now is that Decrypter will no longer be updated either. There are several other choices. Run AnyDVD or DVD43 behind Shrink or try the new DVD Fab decrypter(free) to copy the dvd to your HD and then open those files in DVD Shrink to edit and compress. You can still use Decrypter as the final burn engine.

Shrink alone works o.k. for me. But, I've found that using Decrypter first makes the whole process go quicker. DVD Decrypter and DVD Fab Decrypter seem to move faster than Shrink. And, once decrypted, Shrink is able to handle them better and quicker. Maybe it's just my system? Any way, it gets done and that's all I care about.

With the newer DVDs I have experienced complete system crashes by trying to initially start ripping with DVD Shrink.
Therefore I use DVD Decrypter to rip the bugger (especially new rentals, ahem...), then DVD Shrink to crush it to a 4.35GB size.
Followed by simply copying the resulting files to the VIDEO_TS folder using Nero to burn a DVD Video Disc.
I Burn at 8x speed btw.
If the product is flawed, I review my software provider. Every now and then I move on, and praise the latest.

thx fo the replies all, thats pretty much what I thought. I almost never use DVD Decrypter, haven't had to yet. I'm assuming that if DVD Shrink cant get past the protection there would be some type of error message, right?

Hi. I had read from other posts from the experience ppl here that DVD Shrink produces lower quality compared to the original DVD that you are ripping from even if one do not compress the video to fit into a piece of DVD. So, do open your options to other softwares.
Cheers...

Open the files you have ripped to your desktop with DVD Shrink and backup with DVD shrink. You need Nero 6 Reloaded (includes Nero backup utility, which is what DVD Shrink cleverly hijacks to it's own ends)
NOTE: OPEN FILES (on HD or desktop in your case m8), NOT I REPEAT NOT OPEN DISC (DVD original)

DVD Shrink does not burn. You have to use either Nero or DVD Decrypter to burn within Shrink.

Sorry to mislead my fellow newbies, you do indeed need Nero 6 (including Nero Backup, which is what DVD Shrink utilises to actually burn the "backup" to hard copy DVD format) to perform the DVD Shrink burn step I mentioned above...
DVD Shrink is a free utility which only utilises the backup feature of Nero.
I took it for granted that this was a well known fact, obviously not.
Hope this helps.
