DVD Shrink

admin — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 16:25:37 +0000

DVD Shrink is software to compress movie DVD discs to fit into the 4.7GB capacity of a DVD-R disc. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc. Shrink’s user interface offer a lot of possibilities for re-authoring the disc, or finetuning the compression settings.

Development of DVD Shrink has ended, due to legal issues. We are hosting the final released version v3.2.0.15. Note that some malicious software vendors have created others software misleadingly titled as ‘DVD Shrink’, but this is the one and only real thing.

DVD Rebuilder (DVD-RB)

admin — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 15:43:12 +0000

DVD Rebuilder (DVD-RB) is currently the highest quality method to backup a DVD, while retaining menus and extras. The software acts as a front-end for various tools, and provides a simple “one-click” interface for DVD to DVD-R compression.

Instead of performing a quick transcoding, which results in a lesser quality copy, DVD-RB re-encoder the video using an external video encoder. This can be the commercial Cinemacraft Encoder, or one of the high quality freeware alternatives such as HC Encoder or QuEnc.

In this guide we will use DVD Rebuilder Pro to make a backup of DVD. DVD Rebuilder is pretty easy to use and there’s also some nice features for advanced users. DVD-RB doesn’t require any commercial MPEG-2 encoder, though one can be used. In DVD-RB Pro you can use either QuEnc, HC, ReJig, ProCoder or Cinema Craft Encoder as encoder. The latter two are commercial encoders. The Pro version supports ILVU encoding and has “No compression” mode.
