Hi Malcolm
When using DVD shrink does this program also strip out the region codes? Was 
it just Anytime?
Also if a DVD is recorded in NTSC for Region 1 does either program convert 
it into Pal, or does it matter? Will a DVD playable in any region be able to 
deal with the NTSC or Pal formats?
Thanks.
Gordon McFarlane
