DVD Shrink versus Nero

Nero seems to be able to condense down
my DVDs sufficiently well to make a copy
on a DVD+/-R. Why would I need DVD Shrink?

Is free different from "completely free?"
Is that like, "free gift?"

Nero is good for certain things, mainly to burn your disc's. I have
experimented using both Nero and Shrink and Shrink in 4 tests always
produced a better qual image for being shrunk.

Would those be made using the "deep analysis" feature?

Force of habit from old DivX making days but yes, I do like to let it do dbl
pass. Single still does a good job but IMO the deep analysis results in much
better shrinks. Now I personally have never used the other otion that was
added to the options tab thats supposed to help some more but I just am not
familiar with it & my movies look rather good as is so havent played with
it.

I want the best quality so I am prepared to wait the extra time for this
extra analysis to occur (and it does add substantially to the encoding
time). I have been impressed with the results but I haven't compared the
difference if not 'Quality Enhanced'. Might do a test to see the results.

I've done it with one movie, I'll try with Nero and compare them.
The time it took was about 2 hours for the analysis and 3 to do
the conversion and burn. But that's on a relatively slow system
with other stuff going on. I'm gettig a new, faster system to
just do this "grunt" work on Sunday.
