Is there a freeware program simliar to DVD-shrink for OS X? I tried several sites and couldn't find any information on which products worked for OS X. I guess that Toast and some other roxio titles will work after you apply an update, but I think it's kinda gimpy that what's free on my PC costs $50 to do on my mac.

Any suggestions?

i dont have no mac's
if you want a really high quality program just to shrink programs i suggest you spend theh few bucks to either purcchase dvd2onex in order to compress on your hard drive, or toast7 titanium in order to compress and burn in one step. toast does not leave the compressed portion on your computer though

If you just want to compress to something like MP4, try HandBrake.
