I don't understand

Everyone keeps telling me that you can decrypt, shrink, and burn from DVD Shrink. I have read through the forums and I think you can but I can't seem to figure it out. This definately isn't my area of expertise. I also have DVD Xcopy on my computer. I am having to use DVD Decrypter which takes forever, then use DVD Shrink and then burn from DVD Decrypter. I have the latest versions of DVD Shrink. Can't I do this all in the DVD Shrink program. I appreciate your help.

DVDShrink can rip and transcode for you. It can't burn. It can co-ordinate burning with DVDDecrypter, Nero or CopyToDVD for you but it can't physically burn by itself without one of these three programs. I only use DVDShrink to transcode though. I use DVDDecrypter to rip and Nero to burn.

How do I rip and then compress with DVD Shrink? I have been using DVD Decrypter and then using DVD Shrink. How do I do it all with DVD Shrink. I can use my Nero for burning.

Thanks for the help

Put disc in your DVD-ROM or DVD burner. Open DVDShrink, and click on the Open Disc button, or go to File > Open Disc.

I have read through the help menus and tutorials but I'm just not savvy when it comes to this stuff. So, I don't want hit the re-author unless I wanted to do more advanced? So when I click "backup" and that will rip and compress at the same time and then I just save the file and burn with Nero, is that correct?

If you have Nero on your computer... yes. DVDShrink will output the ripped/transcoded files to a temp folder on your hard disk. DVDShrink will then call Nero to burn those files.

Just fiddle with DVDShrink by yourself. It's not a difficult app to grasp.
