Finally DVD Shrink ceased to work under the latest Windows 10 patch set.
I still used DVD Shrink because of its reautor feature.
I used it for the movies I bought for the kids.
The boys require this functionality, insert the disk and the movie should start playing automatically...
... and kids movie studios insist on placing tons of crapware before the movie
I think I will undust my old Windows XP install disk, to create a VirtualBox VM and keep using this great app in a virtualized environment

Totally amazed right now. DVD Shrink 3.2 will rip all New Releases of Disney DVDs. I just ripped The Lion King DVD that comes with the Diamond Edition.

Seeing that DVD shrink 3.2 is no longer supported I've now recently discovered that new encrypted cells are not affected using DVD Shrink regardless if the encrypted cells are on Blu-Ray (must convert to dvd before using dvd shrink 3.2)
