i use dvd shrink, but they don't make it anymore, hence the lack of updates.

I use DVD shrink too. But soon I will be needing to find a new program that doesnt shrink them so I can burn 100% quality on DL DVDs.

Dual Layer DVD discs are too expensive at the moment, so for now, ill stick to my dvd shrink, and dvd decrypter. As soon as Blue Ray technology, and HD dvd gets into swing, they will drop alot though.

I use DvdShrink... though if it doesnt work i will try dvd-decrypter if that doesnt work, Alcohol120%.

I use ConvertXtoDvd for tvshows/.avi movies.

Running a NEC 3500AG 16x DL burner, and 16x dvds.

as a home theater installer, i haven't used discs in about 6 months, my house is networked and i have a media pc in my office, i don't condone piracy and i only copy my own discs onto my hard drive and stream the media over my home network through to a modded xbox on each tv. having a digital tv tuner card in the pc and a decent sized hard drive enables me to record and playback HD tv and i can listen to my music and view my photos in whatever room i want. :beach:

That sounds like a great setup, but I have 3 kids who constantly scratch, leave marks on, destroy DVD's so I, like everyone else here, makes backup copy's using DVD Shrink and De-crypter, and keep the original in good condition. The best bit about that is all my backups I take in the car for the kids to watch on road trips and I can edit out all the other crap on the disc and as soon as it's inserted into the player, the movie plays. No waiting for warnings or menus to disappear.
