“Easy tool to backup your DVDs”

by Elena Santos

Having a collection of movies on DVD is great, but what if the disk is scratched and you can't play it anymore? The best solution is, as usual, prevention.

With DVD Shrink you can easily create backup copies of your DVD movies to prevent these situations. Even if you have never used this kind of software before, you'll find DVD Shrink pretty simple and straightforward. Plus, it works with basically all DVDs, thanks to its built-in decryption algorithms.

Using DVD Shrink is easy as pie: insert the DVD you want to backup and open it up in the program. You'll see the DVD structure on the left, and you'll also be able to preview any part of your DVD in the program's embedded player. If you want to backup the whole thing, just click the Backup! button. But if you prefer to select certain fragments of the DVD and build a whole new compilation with them, you have to hit the Re-author button instead – which took me a while to figure out.

The good thing about DVD Shrink is that it "shrinks" audio and video files on the disk so that they'll fit on your blank DVD – either DVD-5 or DVD-9. The program will save everything on the hard drive (make sure you have enough space!) so that you can then use your favorite DVD burning tool to get everything on a disk.

DVD Shrink is fast, easy to use and works like a breeze. It's the perfect tool to create backup copies of your DVD movies.
