Dvd Rebuilder, Dvd Shrink and Clone Dvd question

[ultraman36]

Can someone give me a short pros and cons of using each of the above programs? What are strengths and weakness of each? Thanks for any replies

I haven't used cloneDVD, but as for the others

DVD Shrink 3.2
+ Free
+ Faster than re-encoding
+ Good quality down to a certain level of compression (level varies)
+ AEC/Deep analysis
+ Can rip older disks
+ integrates with several burning apps for one click processing
+ Reauthor mode for changing structures

- transcodes, does not re-encode
- no longer updated
- Reauthor mode loses menus

DVD Rebuilder
+ Free and Pro versions
+ Ships with two quality free encoders (HCenc and Qenc) and a fast transcoder (Rejig)
+ integrates with CCE and Procoder
+ Still updated
+ High quality at higher levels of compression
+ Now has an installer so setup is simplified

- Reathoring in pro version only
- Uses a number of freeware components, so trouble shooting can be trickier
- Can sometime undersize discs for no reason
