Why use DVD Decrypter and Shrink together?

Alright! Thank you for the reply!

Pelmen, thank you for the well-put reply. You answered my question nicely:)

I was interested in this subject as well. In some of the answers I've seen it said that it was preference and not necessary because Shrink could do it all. I've found, however, that anytime I try to use Shrink on a disk that has any copy protection I get an encryption error message and Shrink can't do the job. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a different version of Shrink? Is there an plug-in or add-on that I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:
