Get it wet and put it in the dryer on high heat.

Okay, I know that wasn't funny, so here is a place for you to start:

Depending on what you are trying to shrink, you may need one or more additional programs to help you out.

I use DVDShrink (http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/dvdshrink32setup.zip)
DVDFab Decrypter (http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm)
VOB Blanker (http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm)
and ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com)
and am very happy with the results I get. Others use AnyDVD, Nero and others and are happy with their results. For me, it's all about the cash. I don't want to buy the software to do my backups, so I am willing to take a little more time to do the job.

Antec TX1050B Case w/500W Power Supply
ASUS P4P800SE
Intel P4 HT 3.2 OC'd 3.85
Zalman CNPS9500 Heatsink/CPU Fan
4GB PC3200 Dual Channel DDR RAM
Nvidia 6800 OC'd
500GB SATA Raid 0
Lite-On 832 DVD
HP 740b DVD

Welcome to AD. Looks like waynekusa has provided all of the greatest free tools for you already. It is not hard to "compress/trasncode" and or "shrink" a dvd/movie via DVD Shrink. All you need to do is click on "BACKUP" and let DVD Shrink does its thing. However, if you want better quality, then you'll need to check/click on "Deep Analysis + AEC: Maximum Smoothness or Sharp (DVD Shrink's enhancement quality), this process takes longer, but you'll like the results better in the end.

Again, below are some tools that I used and still use on a daily basis to rip and backup all of my dvds/movies:

** DVDFAB Decrypter - to rip (one of the best FREE ripper at the moment)
** VobBlanker - to process the VIDEO_TS.IFO file for security purpose, to correct/fix any left over junks (fake pgc, dummy cells, invalid structural, etc.) and to "blank, strip or cut out" unwanted junks like "FBI Warnings, rating screens/logos, previews/trailers, director's commentary, extra, etc.)
** Nero Recode 2 - to transcode my movie/s for any 70% or higher on the "Video Quality" (less compressions needed).
** DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.7 - to encode my movie/s for any 69% or lower on the "Video Quality" (more compressions needed).
** Nero Burning Rom or Express - to burn.

You can have DVD Shrink to transcode and have either DVD Decrypter (FREE) and ImgBurn (FREE) to burn the final ISO Image.

Just incase if you're having a hard time trying to rip and burn some problematic dvds/movies, here http://www.k-probe.com/backup-newly-release-movie-DVD-DVDFAB-Decr... is my newly revised "DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker" guide.

Enjoy and happy burning.


WARNING: Do not "update/upgrade" your SAMSUNG BD-D5XXX series (Bluray Player), or else you cant enjoy any of your movie files.
