Note: No reason to use AutoShrinkISO if you have win2000/XP with an NTFS partition as DVDShrink 3.1.7 and above can create an .iso image and burn it automatically with dvddecrypter. AutoShrinkISO is still useful for FAT32 partitions and win98 users and for those who wish to keep DVD-ROM content.

AutoShrink 3.1.1 AutoshrinkIso3_1_1Setup.zip [846KB] freeware
released March 9, 2004 by NYPlayer (works only with DVDShrink 3.1.x)
Changelog
-- Determines the size of the "DVD content" and adjusts the size of the output in DVD Shrink automatically.
-- You can now keep "DVD content" in Win98.

Overview: After DVDShrink is done transcoding, mkisofs.exe creates .iso image and DVDDecrypter burns that .iso image. Everything is automatic once you choose what to author in DVDShrink.
--Or you can burn with CopyToDVD instead of DVDDecrypter.
