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
