DVDShrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.

DVDShrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can also download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVDShrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.

DVDShrink is free software. You should never pay for DVDShrink.

Doesn't that save it as a .bin or .cue file? I know VLC plays it but I just can't remember what file type it is.

I use DVDShrink most of the time too.  But for encrypted DVDs, I use DVDFab HD Decrypter.

Quick question will dvdshrink work with vista 64?

no it saves it in the same format as a dvd.  I have always used dvd decrypter to back up movies and dvd shrink to burn them to a singl layer dvd as it lets you remove menus and special features and just have to movie.

DVD's don't have a singular type unless you're referring to an ISO of the disc, which is also inaccurate. Then again, that's what a .bin or .cue can be or is in this context.

I usually make an ISO of the disc and run it in VLC. I just do this through Ubuntu, haven't bothered finding an application for it in Windows.

it's not an iso file.  I don't remember what they are exactly but I know you need a dvd decoder to play the files off the hard drive.

You just need a software DVD player like Power DVD or InterVideo DVD.

which are dvd decoders

DVD decoders are also programs that convert DVD to AVi for example. So to be exact he needs a DVD player with built-in decoder (which all software DVD players have).

So, he needs something that only exists in one thing which would not work without the thing he needed. Makes perfect sense. Or it's just redundant.

DVD Decoder. One component of different types of programs. One type of program can code the decoded DVD video in to an avi. This is not a "DVD Decoder," this is a program that can code the decoded DVD video in to an AVI. A DVD Player is a much simpler program that merely decodes the DVD with a DVD Decoder then outputs the video.

Finally, Jaymz (very subtle), a .BIN is a true binary image of whatever disc. It's a disc image, just like a .ISO is, but the .cue stores track data. Better for disc imaging, but only locally as distribution is made that much harder with a second file. I like ISO because it's one file, works for most everything and a more recognized term for a disc image. If you wish to use .bin for your images then that's fine though you'll have to keep the two files together.

DVD Decrypter tbh.

load it up, press "R" on your keyboard, press the start button. Voila, a perfect ISO image which gives you the best quality with 1 file.

Also be aware that after the MPAA injunction against DVD Decrypter the MPAA released a version of their own that reports the IPs of those who try to update the software.  Gotta love the shady dealings of the movie industry.

holy FUCK that is absurdly gay.  that's a dick move
