I think that the general population is thrilled that they've learned to use a free application that they can actually work and they're satisfied with what they get. Remember that many of us used to back up on VHS and BetaMax machines. Now if one's first venture into DVD back ups begins with DVD Shrink then they would be stunned by the difference in quality. DVD Shrink isn't bad it's just not the best method. While I was beta testing the latest DVD Shrink, I was constantly pointing out that the picture quality of Shrink had an over softened quality. Some people actually like the softened effect. On high compression movies the softening effect actually hid video artifacts such as the "mosquito effect." The problem I have with using shrink is that it softens the picture quality of movies even under no compression.
I sometimes help the Distant Learning Department at the University of South Florida with their Course Content DVD's. On one such occasion they did all the filming and transfer to DVD but the result was non compliant. I played it and then began doing a back up of it and I received the non compliant warning from both Nero and CopyToDVD. Without looking into the folder for the problem I ran the movie through DVD Shrink using No Compression. Now both Nero and CopyToDVD no longer gave the non compliant warning. If using no compression has no effect on a DVD then what the heck happened there? I've since used DVD Shrink on homemade movies that report non compliancy and it always seems to work, so on that account alone I'm keeping it.
For those who're happily using Shrink, this is not an attack on it, it's a great application.

When I become a little more proficient, I will raise my expectation level and get some more capable software myself. For now, it's Recode2 and DVDCopy3 with good ol' Decrypter waiting in the wings for the 4.3 GB and less titles...

When I'm in a hurry or the DVD size is too small to bother with encoding (RB/CCE) I use DVDcopy3. Although I have Recode I don't use it because it uses the DVD Shrink engine for compression and delivers pretty much the same quality, but it is fast with AnyDVD running in the background.
We all have our own recipes and in the end the only person we really need to satisfy is ourselves. All to often others take it personally as though by not likening their choice you've somehow insulted their God or mother.
Enjoy!

Question... DVDCopy3 doesn't give you many settings to adjust. Even so, is it that much better than Recode2? The movie I compared using the two had about 68% compression, and I couldn't tell a difference. It was 2 hrs 15 min (Million Dollar Baby).
