Mac OS X offers a quick and application-free way of taking screenshots of just about anything. I want to keep the menus and the chapters when backing up my DVDs.
WRITEROOM DMG MOVIE
DVD2OneX is the closest thing I've found for Mac, but it only allows the main movie to be extracted, and it costs around $40. If you know of any DVD Shrink equivalent (free) programs for the mac, post a comment. Use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD Video files to your hard drive, and then compress them with DVD Shrink. Mac users: DVD Shrink is probably the best DVD Compression program available on PCs or Macs, and it's also free!!īe aware that DVD Shrink has not been updated in the last three years, so it cannot remove the latest copy protections. * Note: Copying the ISO file created by DVD Shrink into a Parallels shared folder took about five minutes, so this actually evens out the amount of time for the compression.īottom Line: If you're a PC user that misses DVD Shrink, definitely consider running it in Parallels, unless of course you are already running Bootcamp. DVD Shrink is performing faster in a virtual machine than it was on my midrange laptop from 2005. Usually it would take around 15 minutes to compress a DVD on my old Dell Latpop (1.86GHz centrino processor, 2GB of RAM). This is faster than any compression I've done on a PC. * Using a Windows XP VM (virtual machine) with 512MB of RAM and up to 15GB allocated to the VM.Ī backup of a DVD movie took only 10 minutes in Parallels (using a pre-ripped DVD Video folder).
