Shrink 3.2 can’t handle the majority of new movies because of ARccOS protection. I \<3 DVDFab platinum. I’ve got a cracked version but I think I’m just going to pay the $50 so I can get updates easily. I haven’t paid for software in probably 5 years but fab is just that good. ---

well the goal is to be able to fit a dual layer disc onto a dvd-r. I highly doubt a high def dvd download fits onto a single layer disc. Id rather lose that little bit of quality and burn them on single layer discs than spend 8 bucks a dual layer dvd. Might as well just go buy the original then. ---

8 bucks on a dual layer dvd?, they are like 2 bucks now, and you lose more than a little quality that way. But what do i know 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/programs-to-rip-a-dvd-to-your-computer/35600.md?page=2)
