DVD shrink 3.1.2

[snowman325i]

Hey guys, I am currently using Dvd shrink ver. 3.1.2. and was wondering if there is a new version out for download? This one was a free download, and I've had it for close to a year now. Thanks.

Hey snowman325i
The last version of Shrink is 3.2.0.15. Last updated in 2004.
The 'true' dvd shrink is freeware.
You can get it here:

Hey snowman, We all love shrink, but, do yourself a favor and download CloneDVD for a free trial. When used with AnyDVD, works much better than Shrink and is constantly updated. Sure saves coaster creation when trying to back-up titles like Saw 3! :clap:

You will not be disappointed with clone dvd compared to dvd shrink.

There will be no more updates to Shrink. I have used it for several yrs. and will continue until it no longer works.

Me too! With AnyDVD being updated regularly, I don't see that happening any time soon! :D

The old days of DvD shrink are over... The new version you have to buy being as the creator of DvDshrink went to Ahead (Nero) for the job they offered...

Nero recode is the next working version of DvD shrink, and it is always updated as well until the next version number count is up... (ie 8 9 10)

Cost= Nero BR 7.x.x.x $80 maybe $90 dollars...

Please don't go to any of these dumb ass DvD shrink 2007 bits... (its a lie save your self the bank issues)

Over?? It still works flawlessly for me.
Shrink...Free
Nero....Overpriced and loaded with apps that I don't need.

All I am saying is that DvD Shrink is the new Nero Recode... The engineer who made DvD Shrink went to Nero because they offered him a job. so he left the freeware game for something more fruitful... Sorry didn't mean to offend...:)

I know the same guy wrote Recode and Shrink, but they are nothing alike. Shrink is easier to work with, I think, and is faster for me. I know some people says that Recode is faster, but the times I tried to use it, I found Shrink to be much faster.

BTW........
Recode is a free download. You can get it without buying Nero's full version. My Nero is the OEM version 6, that came with my burner, and I downloaded Recode2 (not from p2p, or torrent).

@jvc
That's good to know for oem discs w/o Recode.
Where'd you get the recode only download?

[jvc]

I'll have to look for it. I didn't save the link.
I'll get back to you.............. :)

EDIT:
This may be what I did. It's been awhile, and I don't remember. I copied and pasted the info below, from Nero's site:

For OEM bundles, such as Yamaha, TDK, Memorex, Lite-On, etc. you do not need a serial number, as it is embedded and will install automatically. After a successful installation, you can find your serial number located in your registry.
Follow the steps below in order to locate it:
1) Click on ´Start --> Run´ and type in ´REGEDIT´.
2) Click on ´OK´, which opens the Registry Editor.
3) Click on the folders ´HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> AHEAD --> NERO BURNING-ROM --> INFO´.
4) You will see your serial number on the right-hand side of the Registry Editor, with following name (related to the respective version you have): Serial4, Serial5 or Serial6
This entry looks as follows:
14xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 4)
15xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 5)
1Axx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 6 Ultra Edition)
Please note the number.

No offense taken by me. Forums are for information.

I used Shrink for ages untill i tried CloneDVD2.
I found CloneDVD2 to be faster and is very easy to use.
Try it! buy it!! you will not be sorry.

There is a version where you can burn with Imgburn automatically instead of Dvd Decryptor.

I have this version too if anyone wants it.

DVDShrink has many more features and far greater re-authoring power than CloneDVD2. It also has a superior quality transcoder. The fact that it is no longer updated is not a problem, as long as you are using it to process video files that are not css protected, and fully compliant with dvd standards. It is no longer a very reliable ripper, due to movie studios releasing dvd's with intentional flaws and defects on the dvd's.
CloneDVD2 is much easier to use, as it is more intuitive. It also has the ability to perform some re-authoring while retaining menus and can process some of the intentional flaws and defects that make DVDShrink choke.
Having both programs in your tool-box is a good idea. I find the power and flexibility of DVDShrink along with its superior transcoder makes it a better choice for me most of the time.

I use Recode for SL backups and CloneCD for DL backups. I haven't used Shrink for about a year or so. I prefer the DL backups now (except the price).
