DVD Shrink is a free DVD copy and compression program designed to take a large amount of information stored on a Dual Layer DVD and compress it to the size of a standard DVD-R. This application will only rip and compress the DVD while other DVD copy software applications will also burn the files to another disc.
What put DVD Shrink on the map was its ability to compress large amounts of information into a small amount of space. DVD Shrink can compress files directly from the DVD drive, ripped files located on your computer and ISO files on your hard drive. You can also use DVD Shrink to circumvent DVD encryptions and re-author your DVD copy.
The latest version of DVD Shrink, 3.2.0, was released in the summer of 2004. In 2005, to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act , the official DVD Shrink website was removed. The DVD Shrink software currently found on the Internet has not been updated since the 3.2 version was released.
