On the contrary: I'd like to see how this software ends up with a little more development and testing.

Not that I mean to discourage the developers, should they read this post. While quality is certainly subjective, I found the Recode files much more pleasing to the eye, while not necessarilly being as sharp. Since this was absent in both the original rip and the Recode project, I can only conclude that Shrinkto5 has issues with this sort of material. There was a high degree of stuttering within these scenes, with flickering images of alternate languages here and there. The issue I ran into that made me frown the most was the handling of Multi-angle material - which this disk has. So to that end, I can forgive the degree of pixelation I saw in the final product since even very good software like DVD Shrink or Nero Recode would show roughly the same thing (to be fair about it, I ran a full-disk comparison with Nero Recode). Granted, there's a lot of reduction necessary to whittle the original 7.78GB file to 4.37 - and any transcoder currently availible is going to show the strain from that. The interface itself is clean and easy to understand, requiring only four clicks to complete a full-disk project. The average encoding speed was 144 FPS, and completed without any input on my part. The output size was left at default in the program (4.37GB), but the resulting files clocked in at 4.21GB - bringing back memories of InstantCopy 7. The CPU ran at 94-100% all through the 25 minute, 59 second event.

All programs are in a 32-bit environment (due to lack of support for drivers and programs with Windows 64). The test system is a self-built unit meant for video processing, including the following:ĪMD Anthlon 64 on an MSI Socket 939 motherboard which is running 2GB of Micron memory (PC3200) in a dual-channel mode. Uninstalling left no harsh effects on my test system. Installation was fast and easy, since the download is a self-contained installer. Movie tested: Star Wars Episode 1, Region 1, Disk 1, Full disk copy. I downloaded and tested this new software, (availible at: ) not expecting much since 1-click DVD backup software is becoming more and more mainstream.
