larrylje and Jigen make good points. I doubt anyone could have explained the situation with copyright protection better than larrylje. The software can only do what is was programed for. The authors weren't clairvoyant, so without updates, they can't process the more difficult protections added since loss of support. On a historical note, DVD was recommended by the author of Shrink when a problem was encountered with decryption. So as long as DVD Decrypter was supported, it was the "go to" for Shrink.
As Jigen pointed out, a source is more easily processed from the HDD. One has to add the time to get the source ripped as well as processing from the HDD. The AnyDVD Ripper processes for compliance on the rip to the HDD. If compliance issues come up with using DVD Decrypter + AnyDVD, an app such as FixVTS is needed to process for compliance. The files are on the HDD to work with if that is needed. The AnyDVD incorporates FixVTS for compliance. So, either way, it can pay to have ripped files on the HDD with some of the harder copyright protections.
There's still releases that DVD Shrink can do alone. King Kong is a good example. There's an even larger number that DVD Decrypter can do. Then there are some of the newer releases that require the newer software. With some of the newer releases, they've had to be processed by way of HDD files with compliance editing software. So there in a nutshell is the why of the extra steps, increased copyright protections.
I intentionally didn't mention decryption using DVD Decrypter, PgcEdit, and the PSL2 files and compliance processing with FixVTS. That's even more steps and a separate thread. There's guides for that for those interested. Check out Alkohol.
