    That domain has been hijacked by a rather notorious cyber squatter from HK :mad:

    Sorry, just checked the about help on the software.

    apologies all round for the bad link

    Cybersquatting?? as in taking over a domain hoping to make money from it?

    is that legal? I thought that kind of stuff was thrown out in court regularly these days.

    Not arguing here just curious

    what about DVD Burning Software?
    I want to be able to copy (backup) retail DVDs to DVD-r or DVD+r
    and recommendations on software that'll do it in a few clicks?

    dvdshrink works best for me to fit the origonal movie onto a dvd r or rw

    Ahead NERO or Roxio to burn the resulting files to dvd


    www.dvdshrink.org go for the beta version it does more in depth analysis of the scenes.

    DVDdecryptor to rip
    DVD2one to shrink
    Nero to burn.

    BTW I second powerdvd for dvd playing.
