Thought it was an excellent idea I converted a dvd to ratdvd and then back again. It worked flawlessly and the quality was excellent Just wish it was quicker though:d

@fugutive, ratdvd has nothing to do with shrink, decrypter, anydvd et.al. - it compresses a dvd video_ts folder to app. 50% of its original size. it's very useful for transferring full dvds to your "friends" on the net.
