I don't have a vested interest in the product at all but for the people who are comparing the quality of DVD-Shrink to DVD-Rebuilder,it just isn't happening. Unless you are watching your DVD's on a 7" portable,you absolutely can't compare the quality of using CCE to DVD Shrink on a movie over 2 hours.I watch mine on a 50" plasma and have 20-15 vision with no optical correction needed and this is just the way it is.
If you "think" that DVD-Shrink offers the same quality as DVD-Rebuilder (using ANY of the encoders versus transcoding as Shrink does)then knock yourself out.I personally don't care but i don't like people spouting off inaccurate info. Possibly the person that thinks Shrink is as good as DVD-Rebuilder on ANY length movie doesn't have the technical knowledge of how to get the most out of the program by using Avisynth filters,etc.,or takinght etime to actaull learn nthe proper settings for the best results. It actually reads like a frustrated user to make such a nonsensical statement to me.
But just beware that when you finally get a nice TV and start watching 2 hour,20 minute movies or longer done on Shrink you may have more blocks than you can imagine so beware.
On 1 hour,30 minute movies you may not notice any difference because the bitrate will still be high enough to carry it off.But to say that it does as good a job on any length of movie is not true. It also depends on the quality of the starting original (crap in = crap out theory). So don't expect miracles but if you start with a clean original,this is the best option out there when using CCE or the free HC Enc
