Version 2.0 was completely redesigned and covers virtually all of your requests in our forum. V 2.0 is, as matter of fact, “your baby”. So, what is new:
Machinist2.dll - We adjusted the interface to the new Machinist2.dll that is out there. Now, backups of DVDs can be made that could not be handled by tools like DVDShrink
Auto-Repair - We added an auto-repair function to handle bad sectors in case of minor scratches and damage on the original DVD. This does not affect the picture quality, it is exactly like the quality on that original DVD.
Dynamic compression - We improved the code of the dynamic (distributed) compression rate resulting in a even sharper picture.
Build in player - The built-in player allows you to view the video tracks when you make your selection.
Skin - Thanks to your donations we were able to buy an external skin component. We hope that now all the reports of distorted GUIs belong to the past.
Burn baby burn - The FoxBurner Burning component comes with the ShrinkTo5 package. You don’t have to donate nor do you have to download it separately.
Utilities - We added some general functions like Screen Saver Disabler, play sound when finished, recording device selector.
Shell? - The burning dialog was removed. Now, you can burn directly from the Windows Explorer (Shell Extension).
ISO image - Copied images can be saved as a ISO image or can be burned on a DVD blank. (No ISO „on-the-Fly“).

The ShrinkTo5 GUI also features multi- language and is available in many languages. So, forget about all those high-price offers for software promising you heaven and earth. Just use the ShrinkTo5 and ShrinkTo5 GUI, for free.

You may have noticed that the ShrinkTo5 Logo has changed. Unfortunately, we have had some legal trouble with the old one. The symbol “5” is part of another trademark. So we changed it. This is one of the reasons why version 2.0 took so long.
