Freeware DVD copying ... it works, it works!!

[Lord Whiz]

I am so pleased. I learned of this in another usegroup and
went to download it immediately. It does indeed run rings
around several other commercial products that I have tried ...
and ... in HALF the time or better!!! And, it worked the
very first time. Download the 3rd Party information html to
gain some hints. You don't actually need it. Further, you are
presented with the option of doing the entire original DVD,
or to capture only the main movie itself (which saves a lot
of space). And, further MORE, it does not place any
&%#*@ FBI or DVD Copy warnings on the new burned
result. Inserted into your DVD player, it jumps immediately
into the movie itself. To capture ONLY the movie, click the
option to 'Re-Author' first, then go to Backup. You can
choose to save to an ISO file, or burn directly to your
DVD burner.

The following is a quote from the usegroup posting where I
found this jewel:

Go to http://www.dvdshrink.org and download DVDshrink.

The program is completely free, no cracks, trials or missing features.
Built-in decryption. It's easy to use and creates error free disc's that
play in all stand-alone players. Latest version is 3.1.7 and has better
recording features than DVD XCopy. (which still has bugs).

Boy! That's the truth!

After wrestling with 'packages' to reauthor, and wasting time on a few
commercial packages I found DVD shrink a number of months back and you're
right - it's a delight to use. Regions gone, macrovision gone, additional
languages removable..

a great program

It did a great job! I tried DVD Shrink out yesterday.

I _did_ run into something weird, though. Using the latest version
didn't work very well on my Win98SE. No matter what I did, a 40-min
fitness DVD wouldn't fit on my 1.8 gigs free! I ended up having to
use an older version.

It's weird how I found this out. I had dl v3.1.7, supposedly, last
month. But I saw that although the install says that, the version
actually said v2.3! Since the flash guides showed a different screen,
I uninstalled this old one and hunted up another 3.1.7 version but
this time it installed the right version. 3.1.7 wouldn't work!

Stupidly, I'd deleted the older one and it took me forever to find a
copy of v2.3 that _was_ actually 2.3! <lol> Installed 2.3 and tried
again and it worked very well just like yesterday's bogus one <g>.

So if anyone else runs into troubles with an older machine that even
at maximum compression it won't work, using an older one does the
trick. It rips at about 1/2 the time, too, it seems.
