Quick, easy-to-use guide for those unfamiliar with the DVD Shrink program.
Recently, compressed domain transcoders have reached quite some popularity. These transcoders are based on algorithms designed to recompress an MPEG-2 stream in real-time for TV broadcast. These programs can transcode an entire DVD movie in only a few minutes, because they do not have to decode and re-encode the entire video stream, but only part of it. I will not go into a detailed explanation of the mechanisms used as they are quite involved but basically what you get is a size (and hence quality) reduction per time unit that cannot be rivaled by regular MPEG-2 encoders (though the latter category can yield better quality).

This software is out-dated. There has not been any program updates for a couple of years or so. It also doesn't work for some movies like Sony Pictures. I am not aware of others, but I had many problems with it. I stopped using it because it didn't rip consistantly.

The only good thing about DVD Shrink is it's still free.
