For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.dvd shrink certainly is free, works and is very easy to use if you also have a recent 'nero burning' on your pc. (because it prepares the files for nero). its still quite easy withou nero though....
i copied all of our family dvd's for my daughter when she went to university (i feel no guilt because this is what i did it for!) only a couple failed.
if the original has any scratches it will give a 'cyclic redundancy check' error and stop. if it does that i am afraid you wont get a copy with 'dvd shrink'
If this method works for you then thats fine but I have found that DVD Decryptor has a better success rate. I don't use Nero to burn but I do use DVD shrink to reduce the size of the decrypted files.
Perhaps I'll try your method of just using DVD shrink with Nero. It makes no odds to me as long as the result is the same.
Confab (-:
dvdshrink will have problems with microsofts 'cyclic redundancy error', and will get stuck if the disc has any noticable scratches, DVD decrypter will attempt to re-read bad sectors several times. Decrypter has a burning ROM that shrink will use as a default if Nero is not installed but its burn speed will run too high for DVD-R's to be playable in older standalone DVD players.
Other than that if both programs are configured properly, they both decrypt files at nearly the same rate.
