If you want to learn how the DVD Shrink software works, you must be familiar with the complete process and then you will be able to learn the exact functioning of this software.
When you copy a DVD, you need to do following 3 things:
1. You need to decrypt the data, if the information on that DVD that you want to copy is encrypted. To do this, you need to purchase the decryption software from the internet.
2. You must take the back up of original DVD to your computer hard drive.
3. You need to burn the burn the DVD. This means that you are taking the data from your computer hard drive and burning it (or copying it) to a blank DVD.
DVD Shrink is wonderful software as it works in conjunction with imaging software such as Nero or Image Burner to burn the DVD. However, it does not do this task itself. So what’s good if DVD Shrink copies the data from the original DVD to your computer hard drive? Well, here is why DVD Shrink is the best of all. It perfectly takes the back up of the original DVD to your computer hard drive and it does this task for absolutely free of cost.
These days, DVDs available in the market are not exactly the same size as the one that you are using to copy the data of your original disc. Your original disk is capable to store 9.4 GB of data while the blank DVD is by all means a single layer disc and can store only 4.7GB of data. So the problem is that you can’t copy 9.4 GB data to a DVD that can only store 4.7 GB of data. DVD Shrink is the perfect solution for this problem.
Whenever you shrink the data, you are going to lose something in the process. The DVD Shrink software allows you to remove those additional features of DVD so that the movie you are copying will be quite close to the original in quality. However, if you want to copy the entire movie as it is, you have to compromise with the picture and quality. If you don’t want to make any compromise with the quality of the copied movie, it is better to remove the additional features of the original DVD and perform a dual layer copying. In this way, you can get a virtually one to one copy of the original DVD.
