DVD Shrink... requires that you have Nero6 installed in order to burn the dvd. So, when I installed and ran both programs I could burn a movie dvd in less time than it took to watch it.

But... my anti-spyware programs caught both DVD Shrink AND Nero6 reporting back to their websites of everything that I burned! Okay, so I agreed with the anti-spyware program to disable that stuff. After I did that, guess what? A dvd that would normally take 45 minutes to burn now took 3 or more hours!

So what's the deal? I'm not sure. I could re-install everything and reach a point where copying a dvd only takes 45 minutes... but I have to ask myself, as I am asking all the people who read this message, is it worth the price that you are paying? I mean, it's pretty obvious that everything you make a copy of is being recorded on a web site... so is it worth the risk? To make copies of stuff that are being recorded against you?

WHY are your actions being recorded by these programs???

I'll tell you what I did... I uninstalled and deleted everything to do with Nero AND DVD Shrink!

That sounds like paranoia to me. I've used the same software and I'm pretty sure nothing's 'reported'.

Perhaps you should ask him what info he found and how he found it rather than blow it off... what if he's right?

You are pretty sure... how can you be so 'pretty sure'?
