Open-source DVD Shrinker
ShrinkTo5 Is Storming the Market with A Radically Enhanced Version of Their Open-source DVD Shrinker - SnrinkTo5 GUI 2.02
RATINGEN, Germany. - April 3, 2006: ShrinkTo5 today announces the release of version 2.02 of ShrinkTo5 GUI, a new cross-platform DVD copying engine distributed at no cost to anyone. This application lets you copy and shrink your favorite DVD disks in brilliant quality, which is complemented with a surprisingly high processing speed. You can copy an entire DVD, copy the main movie only, or copy its content elements selectively. The output can be saved to the hard disk drive as an ISO image or compressed and burned onto one DVD disk. The best thing in copying DVD disks with ShrinkTo5 is that it no longer involves tedious and sometimes confusing configuration. ShrinkTo5's AI chooses the perfect balance automatically.
What's New in ShrinkTo5 2.02?
The new release builds on the success of the first version that has seen over 1 million downloads since its official release in September 2005. "The large amount of enthusiastic feedback from end users that followed that release has been a great inspiration to all of us here at ShrinkTo5," says Ocrana, the leading developer at ShrinkTo5. "Their ideas and suggestions have driven the development of version 2.02, which is now reflected in the carefully redesigned user interface, new additions and enhancements, including bad sector detection and repair, a Machinist2.dll support, a new Skin component, a built-in burning component, among others. We hope these new extras will make the great product even more appealing to users."
- Support for Machinist2.dll. The program has been modified to support new Machinist2.dll. Now, ShrinkTo5 has a unique ability to make DVD backups that cannot be handled by other DVD copying software like DVDShrink. Please, note that Machinist2.dll cannot be downloaded from the ShrinkTo5 website since it is not legal in our country. But you can find it via any search engine and download it for free.
- Free burner plugin. The ShrinkTo5 GUI package comes with FoxBurner, a shell plugin that allows you to burn directly from the Windows Explorer. Now, you don't have to donate or download a burner separately.
- ISO Image. Along with burning onto DVD disks, copied images can now be saved as ISO images on the hard disk drive and burned onto disks later if the need arises.
- Auto-Repair. New ShrinkTo5 lets you automatically restore scratched and defective DVD disks so that their content can be accessed and copied. This doesn't affect the picture quality, which remains to be as good as on any new original DVD disk.
- Dynamic Compression. The code of the dynamic compression rate has been enhanced, which now allows users to get an even sharper picture.
- Build-in Player. New ShrinkTo5 features a built-in player that allows the user to view selected video tracks. This gives you more control over the copying process.
