I use to use DVD shrink..But now I just use DVD Decryptor and Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD...I tested both programs and although Instand CD takes longer to burn/encode the quality comes out superior to DVD Shrink...I just wish I knew a program that would take a EXTREMELY LONG time to encode a DVD but make the quality extremely good..=(...I'd leave it on overnight if I had to...

I gotta save my cash and switch over to dual layer dvd's when I can..>_<

What about SVCD to DVD?

[DVD_Ripper]

9 -> 5 - CloneDVD V2 or Shrink
5 -> 5 - Intervideo DVD Copy V2 or Decrypter

[andyp1]

If I were to need to do SVCD to DVD

Like Mats I would try SVCD2DVDMPG
or SVCD2DVD

With SVCD2DVD you can't fast forward or rewind. That's why I don't use that anymore.

For my all time favorite dvd movies that are DVD9 format I use DVD DECRYPTER then use DVD REBUILDER then NERO to burn. Other than that I will use DVD SHRINK.

For dvd movies that are DVD5 format I use DVD DECRYPTER.

For CAPTURES to AVI format I use SCENALYZER LIVE then TMPGE PLUS the TMPGE DVD AUTHOR & NERO to burn.
