I have only ripped a few DVD's so this is very new to me.
I am using DvdFab and it seems to work good.
What is DVD Shrink and why would I need it?
Thanks for the help.

Dvdfab is a ripper that is still being updated. If you purchase a paid version (platinum/gold) it comes equipped with a compression tool which allows you to compress the files to make it fit onto a dvd-5 disk.
Dvd shrink is used for those that use the free version to compress the files to fit on a dvd-5 disk.

Great info. I can't wait to start burning DVD's.
When you backup and burn back to DVD, is the quality as good as the original DVD?
Thanks again.

Hi,
If the backup does not have compression, then it is identical to the origional. However if compression is used, then picture quality drops off. If the compression is slight (less than 10%) then the picture quality may not be noticible, except on the largest displays.

The answer is it really depends on the user (how advanced/experienced) and what programs he/she used to backup (i.e. edit, transcode, encode and burn).
For those advanced users, he/she can use PgcEdit, VobBlanker, etc. to trim/edit their backups and or encoded with DVD-Rebuilder Pro + CCE/HC/ProCoder and still get high quality in the end.
I like to edit/trim nearly 99% of all my backups and they sure looks awesome on my 51" SONY HDTV.
Good luck to all.
