Batch Ripping

DVD Shrink

Vertical Comparison:

This is an application to decrypt DVD video and backup the DVD video data onto your PC. Considering its single and dedicated videos purpose, DVD Shrink does not has much interactive features and does not require participation of users. One of the advantages DVD shrink boasts is that it can modify the DVD data of large DVD tiles that is hard to fit. It provides two ways of backup, one is re-authoring and the other is re-encoding. As for output setting, the only option is to define a folder to backup your DVDs. Comparing to other ripping software, it can only decrypt the DVD video, but cannot realize converting them into video of file type you need. The most distinguished feature might be that it is free.
