What would I use DVD Decryptor for?

I've done dozens of back-ups now with DVD Shrink + Nero combo without any problems - and after reading someone praise DVD Decryptor, saying they use that in addition to DVD Shrink + Nero, I was wondering what I would need DVD Decryptor for? Not trying to insult the program or anything, am just genuinely curious as to what it does that Shrink doesn't do?

I use DVD Decrypter for ripping the VOB files to the hard drive. There are some instances when Shrink can't rip the files and Decrypter can. I also use DD for burning the ISO image files created by Shrink.

Technically, you don't need DD if you've got Nero. But, if you don't have a CD burning program, then Shrink and DD (both being free) is hard to beat.

DVDShrink doesn't rip MOST of my DVD's for me anymore - it just gives me errors. So, I just use DVD Decrypter (which works every time) to get the DVD files on my HD.

DVD Decryptor is supposed to be more reliable then DVD Shrink.

I've seen posts on the DVD Shrink forums where people were unable to rip with DVD Shrink, but were succesful with DVD Decryptor
