It is possible to rip dvds with Ripit4me and then burn them with Roxio or do I have to have dvdshrink?
Yes it is possible. If you are planning to put onto a DVD5 disc though, you will need to compress the files. That is where DVDShrink, NeroRecode, cloneDVD, etc come into play. I am not familiar with roxio so I do not know if it has a compression program built into it or not. If it does you would not need the others. Cheers.
