DVD Shrink version 2 out!

[BurninMan921]

Version 2.0 of DVD Shrink is out;

http://www.dvdshrink.org/

has download links if you're interested.

It has some bugs fixed, but I never noticed any in 1.03. The rip times have greatly increased if te movie needs to be compressed; HOWEVER, the quality is much, much better at high compression. Much nicer!! I copied the movie Heat no problem with 2.0, couldn't with 1.03 (quality sucked to much...).

They've completely revamped the interface, too. Now the easy-to-use, step-by-step screens are gone. Everythings on one screen. I kinda like the old one better, but the new one is still easy to use. Just tougher for a newbie to pick up.

FYI 2.1 beta is out as well. I think you can actually mess wtih compression in 5% increments.

SWEET!! I can hardly believe that there was too much to improve upon, but I will definitely give it a try!

Let us know your results. Especially if you can do a comparison with DVD2One, 2.0 and 2.1 Beta.

From what I hear, the compression algorithm in 2.1 is completely different from 2.0.

Heard some feedback on the 2.1 Beta, it is definitely a beta product. Buggy with the occasional crash.

My brother has been using DVDShrink 1.3 and then I found DVD2One, and told him about and I compared some DVDs made by each and DVD2One's quality is way superior to DVDShrink's.

I know DVDShrink lets you control more of the process, but does anyone know if 2.0 or even 2.1 Beta looks better than 1.3? 1.3 is just horribly ugly. (We copied the same DVD, FULL disc, DVD2One looks better).

Thanks.

Someone on CDfreaks did a comparison, same quality between DVDShrink 2.0 and DVD2One, compression time is much faster as well.

Gurgenpb said he was going to do a comparison, I'll be interested to see his results.

FYI most of the time, when a new rev comes out, it's fairly safe to assume that the product has been improved.

It's free, so why don't you give it a try and let us know how it compares to 2One.

FYI looks like DVDShrink version 2.2 is out.
