DVD Shrink is free dvd ripping software that most people use to make backups of their favorite Dvd movie. You can see more information about this in our freeware section. The reason we need this program is because a regular dvd movie doesn’t fit on the average 4.7gig size dvd disc. Therefore we use Dvd Shrink to cut the contents down to size as to fit on the disk. This actual software is old but can still do the job, however now I use a paid program (around $29) to rip a DVD movie to save it to my computer.
