Okay, I tried this program on The Alamo Wides Screen last night, and I must say the quality is amazing. 2 Hour 12 minute movie reduced to 506 MB. The only problem I have with it is that it preserved the black bars at the bottom and top of the screen. I was hoping there would be a way to apply a mask to it similar to Pocket DVD Studio so that the picture would take up the whole screen. Is there no way to do this with this program?

Thanks,
Dr. Gonzo

P.S. Do most of you usually just rip using shrink first to make your movies fit onto a DVD-R and then use Fair Use to encode from your burned disc? I would think re-encoding the video twice would reduce the quality some.
