HOW-TO: Install DVD Shrink with Wine in Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)

Note: There is now an excellent Linux replacement for DVD Shrink called K9Copy. See it's Wiki for more information: ["K9Copy"]

Note: This how-to should also work for Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

This how-to will install DVD Shrink with Wine. As always check the relevant copyright laws for your country regarding the backup of DVD's.

Installing Wine

You need to install ["Wine"] to get this program running. Follow the instructions for "Newer versions of Wine." Installing the World of Warcraft version should also work, if you need it.

Installing DVD support

You need to install libdvdcss2 to have support for encrypted DVD playback. To do this use the following commands: 

sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh

See RestrictedFormats for more information on playing encrypted DVDs and other non-free media.

Installing DVD Shrink

Download the DVD Shrink installer and run it with wine. 

wget http://www.olmi.cz/dvdshrink32setup.zip
wine dvdshrink32setup.exe

Follow the installer instructions to install. At the end of the installation uncheck the box that asks to run DVD Shrink now.

Configure Wine to Work with DVD Shrink

When the installer is finished run the wine configuration tool with the below command. 

winecfg

This will start the Wine configuration applet where we will configure Wine to run DVD Shrink properly.

Setting the Windows Version

Go to the 'Applications' tab then click on 'Add application'.

Navigate your way into Program Files-->DVD Shrink and find 'DVD Shrink 32.exe'.

Highlight this file and click on the open button.

This will take you back to the 'Applications' tab window. DVD Shrink should now appear in the list in that window.

Highlight DVD Shrink then go down to the Windows Version drop down menu and choose 'Windows XP'.

Detecting your disk drives

Go to the 'Drives' tab then click on 'Autodetect'.

Click on the 'Apply' button then OK to exit winecfg.

Starting and Using DVD Shrink

To start DVD Shrink type the following command in a terminal: 

wine "C:\Program Files\DVD Shrink\DVD Shrink 3.2.exe"

You can also use this line in the 'command' field to make menu entries in the Gnome (Alacarte) or KDE menu edior.

Once DVD Shrink is running, you may enable video preview. To do this, go to "Edit--> Preferences--> Preview" and there make sure "DirectX video renderer" is set to "Built in software renderer".

For more information Wine, see it's wiki here: ["Wine"]
