While I have heard of this particular product, I have only recently tried it and was amazed at its capabilities. This profram allows you to backup your dvds. I used it for the following situation.

I am currently learning a new Tai Chi form and my teacher happens to have produced a DVD for reference. So I take it to the dojo and play the dvd on my notebook. However, I have a hard time forwarding the sections. I used this application to make a copy on my notebook. The copy format allows me to forward it to another timeline with no issues :)

this is what the makes says...

DVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.

DVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero or if you download CopytoDVD. You can also download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.
