I like using Shrinkto5 software from time to time. I've donated a couple times but it seems to ask me for a donation everytime I use it before it will burn my DVD. Is this normal for this software or am I missing something like product activation ?

Never used it Shrinkto5 but after a quick glance at this supposedly 'freeware' I would steer clear.

Shrinkto5 Version 2.0 contains AdWare. To cover some of our costs we have now bundled ShrinkTo5 with WhenU. It is not a spyware and we do not want to conceal anything, so please take a look at WhenU before you download the new version
Why not use a true freeware and free of adware program - DVDShrink if your using shrinkto5 to compress?.

At least they point it out unlike other downloads! Adware just seemed to be the 1st thing that popped out at me when I looked at the site.

Hi all. Just wanted to say that I think they've taken out WhenU in version 2.04 (their site now says "No Adware!"). Just a head's up.
