Thats probablly because he only compresses the movie and nothing else.
If u want just the movie it shortens time, but even when u just choose the movie u dont need to compress.

after007,
I think you friend's estimate is a little off in using Shrink. It really depends on your computer specs. Like Ram, Cpu, Speed of HD, are you hyperthreading etc. It takes time to do Deep Analysis, and if you use the Quality Enhancements even more time. So your time is probably in the Ball Park
If you just want to put the DVD on your HD then use DVDDecrypter or DVDFAB Decrypter and it will rip the movie to the HD. Then 10-15 minutes to get it to the HD is probably correct

I am sure that lots of folks do it differently.
I start AnyDVD in the background. Put in the DVD and rip it to the hard drive with DVDdecrypter. Then I open DVD Shrink and shrink it. After shrink is done DVDdecrypter automatically opens and burns it to my blank disk. Burn speed is 4x no faster for me. Whole process from start to finish take me about 42 minutes to 1 hour depending on the length of the movie.
Using CloneDVD2 it usually takes a little less time 30 to 45 minutes, but the time is not an issue for me as I do something else while the burning process is going on.
Hope this helps. Check the guides in my signature. I have them for both programs listed.

If you have the analyzing first and then the encoding,that means there is compression and you probably have some of the enhancement settings ticked like deep analysis and the adaptive error compensation. That adaptive error compensation of like max smoothness and max sharpness will really slow you down.
Of course your pc specs controls the speed of the process time to backup. The other factors are compression and those extra quality enhancements in dvd shrinks quality tab.It's the quality tab after you click backup.
To speed you up:
Re-author,drag main movie only,cut out beginning-ending credits,extra subpictures, and tick AC3 5.1CH English only!
This will usually leave that quality settings grayed out because your new backup will usually not have any compression on them.If DVD Shrink says 90 on the compression tab,it is being compressed 10%.The lower shrink tells you,the more compression.The more compression,then those quality enhancement setting will help out on your playback quality.
90 or above,I untick the adaptive error compensation tab.That enhancement can really slow down your time.
You lose all menu functions,but you have less or no compression and when you insert it in your player,it should automatically start playing.The bonus is a faster process time.
I usually reauthor majority of my backups,unless no compression is needed.

i only ever do movie-only and due to the spec of my machine (in my sig), most movies take 15mins to 30mins to copy to hard drive via DVD Shrink. i myself don't use any quality features unless the compression is less than say 75% but have used them a couple times on films such as Batman Begins and Sahara, those are the only 2 that spring to mind.
