If all you are needing Nero for is just burning DVDs then no, you don't need it. A lot of us like and use some of the other features.
I recommend ImgBurn which is free and an excellent burner.

Let me go over these programs as you seem a bit uncertain about what you do and don't need...

DVDFabDecrypter:
This will handle the newer encrptions found on newer DVDs, as you have found out it does not "Shrink" the files to fit on your blank though. For this you need....

...DVD Shrink, which can handle older movies as well as video files and ISO images processed by other programs like DVDFab.

Autoburn with Shrink...
Now once Shrink is done, it is possible to tell Shrink to open a program like Nero to do the burn with. If you don't have Nero then Shrink can't open it to do the burn.
Please take note that this "autoburning" feature can work just as well with other programs besides Nero. I have my Shrink set up to use VSO CopyToDVD as well as ImgBurn:

This setup lets me select one of three programs to burn with.

You do not have to have your Shrink like this though. What you can do is use "ISO Image File" and then open ImgBurn and load this into it.
If you want to have the Backup Target in your Shrink list ImgBurn, then you need to install a new copy of Shrink with the ImgBurn feature already in it.
Let me know if you want to do that and I can guide you through it. I have that Shrink version at my website.
