DVD Shrink on Digital Digest

Changelog

As you probably know by now, Ahead aquired the programmer of this nice tool for their own Nero Recode 2, and DVD Shrink will not get any new features. However, the author still intends to fix DVD Shrink bugs that he becomes aware of. All new DVD Shrink releases will basically be bugfix releases.

Aquired? Poor slave programmer...

Btw, did Ivan and Menno have been hired or acquired? ;-)

They work at a dungeon, chained to a wall.

You can get it using the other links, though.

Ehm now as far as I knew everyone knows this but we are supposed to keep the identity secret hence why no-one uses the real name of "Shrink" and why he hasn't publicly said "I work for Ahead, serve writs there!"

Or has this all changed and Shrink has outed himself?

No, he hasn't. People don't even know which country he's from...

Yes, some people think he's from Spain. Others think it's Finland or Japan. If you know for sure, you can tell us.

Here the reason why it can't be this guy:

Don't know why this is important, but I came across this software at a very early stage. I'm pretty sure there was some references to Japan on his pages at that time...

anyway I think we would be doing him a favour if we didn't try to follow the trail. Let's not help the enemies of fair use ohmy.gif)

I agree. I just refered to his own License.txt file - it doesn't mean he/she is from Japan.

as stated in that thread, they used some ancient 1.3.x version of DVD Shrink... pretty sure their results are irrelevant.

And, as stated in that thread, that is actually a typo, they use 3.1. Check the screenshots at the test page.

There are reasons to suspect about that test's integrity, but this is not one of them.
