Do you have a video or data DVD you need to make a DVD copy of? Making a DVD copy can be an unwanted chore. Having to know things such as dual layer DVDs cannot be copied directly to a single-layer DVD disc. Dual layer DVDs have twice the amount of video, audio, or data than a single layer DVD. Luckily, there is a great program called DVD Shrink. DVD Shrink will help with this dilemma.

DVD Shrink allows you to compress the video on the dual layer DVD to fit onto a traditional DVD. The best part is that you can’t notice the loss of quality resulting from the video and audio compression. It’s also very simple to use which makes this program your go to program for DVD copying.

First you load up the program and wait for the initial scanning of the disc.

After this point, you will notice that there are options to choose to remove parts of the DVD such as menus, various languages, etc… to reduce the amount of compression needed. It’s really not necessary to do this, but feel free to play with these settings as you like.

At the top of the screen, you will notice a “back-up” button. Press this button once you are ready to make the copy of the DVD.

After you press backup you might get a screen about RCE protection. Either choose your region or leave RCE as is.

After this screen you will get one about the Target Device. If you don’t have Nero installed, you will have the option to just create an ISO to burn later. Click “ok” and let run. If you had Nero it will copy DVD directly to your blank disc, if not then you will have an ISO that you need to burn with other DVD burning software.

If your company conducts business outside of the United States the topic of international calling rates has come up. Most businesses owners fear looking at a phone bill after making or receiving Intl calls. There are simple solutions to manage or even eliminating the cost of Intl calling. Below are evaluations of two effective services that can be used to make or receive calls on your landline telephone or mobile device Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone, or Google chrome android.

Skype is by far the best means to make international calls. Skype provides the ability to make calls to anyone on the Skype network for free; all you need is a Skype account and an internet connection. Skype users can also make calls to non-Skype telephone numbers, which will reduce the cost of per minute talk time drastically compared to using telephone companies. Skype also has hand handled phones that allows users to make calls using a WIFI connection, eliminating the need of using a computer to make calls. Skype software can be loaded onto iPhones and Windows Mobile phones which allow Skype users the ability to make free Skype to Skype calls or call non-Skype numbers through their account using their mobile device. Currently Blackberry devices do not support the Skype software.

Vonage World is a great service for calling abroad, but lacks many of the features of Skype. Vonage World allows users to call 60 countries for free. The only catch is most of these counties you can only call landlines and are charged for calling cell phones. Users can make calls on Vonage by using a regular phone without the need of a computer or special software. The per minute cost of calling internationally remains completive with Skype and beats telephone company rates. Vonage lacks the ability to make Vonage to Vonage calls for free. Vonage World works on Blackberry mobile devices unlike Skype software and also works on the iPhone. Currently there’s no way to share minutes between your Vonage mobile account and Vonage telephone line.

If you are looking to make international calls for the lowest rate Skype will be your best choice. Due to the need to use Skype software or devices to make calls it does take a little technical understanding to make and receive calls. If you need to make or receive landline calls from one of the 60 countries included in Vonage World service Vonage will be a better choice, because no technical knowledge is needed. Simply pickup a telephone and dial the number.
