This afternoon I used the following:
DVDShrink 1.03
CopyToDVD 2.0
Applied DVDShrink to LEGENDS OF THE FALL, movie only, which compressed the movie portion from 5.78GB to 4.22GB in 9 files.
The program suggesed this was 38% compression, but by my calculation this is a 27% compression of the original 5.78GB.
Then I launched CopyToDVD, dragged all the 9 files to the program window, and the system automatically burned a single Ritek DVD with the compressed movie.
I played it back on a Sony 715 DVD player, and it worked quite well. The video quality was not full DVD quality, but it was much, much better than SVHS tape and probably close to the quality of received signal from DirecTV. Comparisons here get pretty mushy, but it was more than "good enough."
The CopyToDVD program was downloaded from the Internet, and there was no mention of a "trial" period, nor was there a mention of a limited number of uses before it expired. My guess is that there is some limit, at which time I have to pay the piper.
Thanks for your advice.
