Everytime I copy an encrypted disc (like the one you buy in the shop) with DVD shrink, the end result is that it 'carrys' the same compatability across with it.
i.e. it's just like buying a film from the shop that you know is going to play on any DVD player.

Therefore, if you could do this with home movies DVD, by somehow encrpting it first, then you would have the same compatability as one bought from the shop.

It looks like specialised software, but how much is it and where can you get it from?
It has nothing to security, the only reason for doing this would be for compatability like the big distributiors enjoy.

I'll be here later, if anyones got any suggestions.
- Many thanks.
Huh???
for one, dvdshrink does not "carry" over all the "compatibility".. It just shrinks the movie to an iso or VIDEO_TS folder for you to burn. and if you cant use shrink on non-encrypted movies you got a problem... you rippin em properly?
