DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15 remains available from the currently reachable dvdshrink.org download page, but development ended in 2005 and the DVD Shrink software is not actively maintained.

Consequently, users seeking continued functionality have migrated to updated alternatives like DVDFab, which maintains active development to support the latest 4K UHD standards and decrypt new discs that the outdated AnyDVD software can no longer read.
