If you are a movie buff and want to keep a backup of all your movie collection, Shrink DVD download is just the software applications you need. The Shrink DVD download software application runs on Microsoft Windows and helps you copy your DVDs with ease. It takes very little space on your computer and it is free. Its interface has options to compress or keep the movies to the same size on multi-layer or single-layer DVDs.

If you have a normal size blank DVD and the movie you want to copy on it is almost double the size, you don't have to worry. Shrink DVD download will compress it as per your requirement and convenience. Alternatively, it lets you copy the DVD to new DVD for the same size by erasing the unnecessary portions. Its main purpose is to create backups of the DVDs which it does with great precision and care. Shrink DVD download not only copies the content from the original DVD, it modifies the data to shrink and fit on the recordable DVD. In the process it does away with unnecessary content on the original DVD like foreign language subtitles etc.

Normally the movie DVDs are of 8.5 GB in size and daul-layered. The normal recordable DVds are single layered and of 4.7 GB only. If you want to copy the movie from original DVD to recordable DVD of smaller size, use Shrink DVD download.

However, if there are flaws in the original DVD they may get magnified in the copy. The quality suffers because of the multiple functions that this freeware performs, such as breaking the content of the original DVD into sections, erasing unnecessary sections and shrinking the content to fir on to a smaller sized disc.

How does shrink DVD download work? The process is very simple. Once you insert the DVD into DVD Rom and select the full disk copy or main movie only options, shrink DVD software starts encoding and analyzing before copying the DVD to the recordable DVD.

You can decide the compression level for each track. In other words, you have the option to specify the size want. The shrink DVD program will then make an ISO image of the DVD or folder for copying. You can copy the DVD to the same size as the original DVD or reduce the size. Again, you have the option to either reduce the size either by reducing the quality of the copied movie or by removing the unwanted content.
