DVD Shrink primarily uses DVD discs. However, there is an OPEN files button. 
It doesn't list out the type of files it is looking for. It just says, 
SELECT FOLDER THAT CONTAINS DVD FILES. I have never tried that before. I 
assume the VOBs are what it is talking about. It works wonders for me. You 
have the option to compress a DVD9 down to a DVD5 to fit on a DVD-R. I 
compressing so I remove the menus, extras, any audio I don't want. On discs 
with both the DTS and DD5.1, I keep both. It doesn't specifically say
DD5.1or DTS, but it says ENGLISH then gives the size of the audio
tracks.
Obviously, the DTS will be bigger than the DD5.1 because there is more audio 
inforation there. It is a SUPER easy program to use. After that's done, I go 
to BACKUP, and I save it to an ISO file, and on my MythBE, I have a samba 
share setup. I just drop the file onto the MythBE and voila! Done and Done.
