The Encyclopedia of life is the new project on internet. Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. The goal is to create a constantly evolving encyclopedia that lives on the Internet, with contributions from scientists and amateurs alike. To transform the science of biology, and inspire a new generation of scientists, by aggregating all known data about every living species. And ultimately, to increase our collective understanding of life on Earth, and safeguard the richest possible spectrum of biodiversity.

AmoK DVD Shrinker shrinks DVDs up to one fifth of the original size without any noticeable quality reduction.
Due to the smaller file size the copy can be burned on a “normal” 2.5 or 4.7 DVD-R. The DVD’s menus, subtitles, audio tracks etc all stay preserved. Though, if you want only the original film is being copied/ripped.
AmoK DVD Shrinker uses an open source DLL (ShrinkTO5), which offers excellent quality with high speed. The GUI is easy to use but offers all necessary options. Please note: AmoK DVD Shrinker cannot burn DVDs. AmoK DVD Shrinker only shrinks the DVD.
Some DVDs are protected from copying. At least in Germany it is prohibited to actively remove a copy protection. Therefore, AmoK DVD Shrinker offers no functionality to directly rip a copy protected DVD (DeCSS). On the other hand, AmoK DVD Shrinker supports the popular and freely available Machinist2.dll. Please inform yourself if it is legal in your country to download and use the Machinist2.dll.
