Copying Video DVDs can be a chore sometimes. Most times the DVDs are dual layer and therefore cannot be copied to a single-layer DVD. This will happen when someone burns a DVD with lots of footage or perhaps if it is a DVD promoting a new hotel or resort. Luckily, there is a great program called DVD Shrink that will help with this dilemma.
DVD Shrink allows you to compress the video on the dual layer DVD to fit onto a traditional DVD. The best part is that you can’t really notice the loss of quality resulting from the compression. It’s also very simple to use which makes this program your go to program for DVD copying.

First you load up the program and wait for the initial scanning of the disc.

After this point, you will notice that there are options to choose to remove parts of the DVD such as menus and what not to make the compression a little less. It’s really not necessary to do so, but feel free to play with these settings as you like.

At the top of the screen, you will notice a “back-up” button. Press this button once you are ready to make the copy of the DVD.

After you press backup you might get a screen about RCE protection. Either choose your region or leave RCE as is.

After this screen you will get one about the Target Device. If you don’t have Nero installed, you will have the option to just create an ISO to burn later. Click “ok” and let it do its thing. If you had Nero it will be burned already, if not then you will have an ISO that you need to burn with other burning software.

   DVD-Shrink leaves the name of each copied DVD title within your system registry. Watch out for the MPAA!
