How to Use DVD Shrink - Quick, easy-to-use guide for those unfamiliar with the DVD Shrink program.
by decembre
Recently, compressed domain transcoders have reached quite some popularity. These transcoders are based on algorithms designed to recompress an MPEG-2 stream in real-time for TV broadcast. These programs can transcode an entire DVD movie in only a few minutes, because they do not have to decode and re-encode the entire video stream, but only part of it. I will not go into a detailed explanation of the mechanisms used as they are quite involved but basically what you get is a size (and hence quality) reduction per time unit that cannot be rivaled by regular MPEG-2 encoders (though the latter category can yield better quality). DVD2One was the first program to be based on these principles, now DVD Shrink is the first free program to offer this functionality.

Confidentialité des données * Un bel exemple : Je suis sur un réseau wifi public (dans un parc par exemple), afin d'éviter l'écoute de mes paquets sur le réseau (attaque type ARP Poisoning) j'utilise mon serveur VPN (chez moi ou bien chez un prestataire) afin de l'utiliser en tant que passerelle pour toute communication avec internet, ainsi, tous mes paquets seront chiffrés entre mon serveur VPN et mon PC, et les données ne sont plus en clair sur le réseau du wifi, les seules données en clair seront entre le serveur VPN et l'hôte final que l'on cherche à contacter (utiles pour site web, conversations VoIP/IM, etc...). * De la même sorte, si le gouvernement venait à mettre en place un système d'écoute au niveau des FAI, il suffirait de se connecter via un serveur VPN chez un prestataire (à l'étranger) afin de rendre l'écoute des données totalement inutile.
