The very popular freeware program DVD Shrink has been updated to version 3.0, and betas are available for download. New in this version:
- No more compression levels. Instead we have four new settings:
- No compression - original video.
- Automatic - DVD Shrink will choose the best compression ratio.
- Custom - you can select desired ratio (with a slider).
- Still Pictures - as before.
- Better quick analysis. The sample points for initial quick analysis are carefully chosen, and sparse analysis results are interpolated between samples.
- New "Analysis" button. This performs a deep analysis, which (a) guarantees that the predicted target size is met and (b) significantly improves video quality.
- One-pass encoding. Output files are written to HD in one pass, so no longer necessary to make a second pass to fix navigation pointers. This reduces total encode time by about 5 mins.
- RCE region protection removal.
- And much, much more!
You can download the latest beta from the DVD Shrink web site.
