DVD Shrink is a program developed since 2004 and is used to make copies of DVDs or as DVD ripping program. The interface is simple, basically you need just to insert a DVD, click Open Disc and select the destination where files will be saved.

This program saves DVD content to .VOB files which you can convert them to any video format using a video converter, such as HandBrake.

I have tested DVD Shrink with a disc that contains a demo video and this disc auto start/play when is inserted into DVD player. This program has generated .VOB files on my local hard drive, i have used HandBrake to convert these files into one MP4 video file.

Please note that these ripping programs are designed to be used for your personal discs with their content owned by you, in order to not have legal issues with copyright aspects.
