Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms. Most DVD titles are encrypted, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, being able to play the resulting files. The first preventative measure is encryption. Most DVD titles are designed to prevent you from making copies.

You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disk.ĭVD Shrink does not burn DVDs! The output from DVD Shrink is saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn to a DVD-R using separate burning software, such as the software provided with your DVD-R drive.

DVD Shrink is software to backup DVD disks.
