DVD Shrink

DVD Shrink is a program for Windows that allows you to make backup copies of your DVDs and compress them so they take up less space. So, if you have ever wanted a digital copy of your movie collection or to shrink the size of a DVD to be able to store it on your computer, this app is one of the most efficient and lightweight solutions around.

Compress your DVDs without a loss in quality

DVD Shrink allows you to reduce the size of a standard DVD (DVD-9) to fit on a smaller recordable disk (DVD-5) without a significant loss in picture or sound quality. To achieve this, the app analyzes the content of the DVD and allows you to select what you want to keep and what can be deleted or compressed, including menus, additional languages or extras. The compression process is carried out through smart algorithms that optimize the audiovisual content by adjusting the bit rate of each disk segment.

Choose what you need from the original DVD

DVD Shrink allows you to fully customize the content you want for your copy. You can choose to rip the entire disk, just the movie itself or a custom selection of chapters, audio tracks and subtitles. What's more, you can preview the content before processing it, which is useful for confirming what you are including in your copy and making sure everything is set up the way you want it.

Skip CSS protections and region restrictions

DVD Shrink even allows you to remove certain restrictions and protections found in many commercial DVDs. The program can bypass CSS (Content Scramble System) protection and region coding, allowing you to make backup copies of disks that would normally be limited to certain DVD players or geographic areas. This makes DVD Shrink an especially useful tool if you have ever purchased DVDs abroad and want to play them freely or save an unrestricted digital copy on your PC.

Save your copies in ISO format or in VIDEO_TS folders

DVD Shrink also gives you the option of saving the resulting copy of your DVD in two main formats: a ready-to-burn ISO image or a VIDEO_TS folder structure, compatible with most media players and burning programs. You can also combine DVD Shrink with external burning tools, like Nero or other ISO-compatible apps, to easily finish off your physical disk.

Support for protected disks and dual layer content

In addition to being able to free you of restrictions, DVD Shrink is prepared to work with dual layer DVDs, which contain a larger amount of data. In such cases, you can choose to compress the content to make it fit on a single-layer disk or maintain quality by splitting it over several volumes. The program automatically analyzes the type of disk you insert and guides you through the process.
