Maybe the DVD you are trying to copy (as a backup?) has copy protection (like CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) and DVD Shrink does not have the ability to remove copy protection automatically, so therefore it won't shrink it.
To remove copy protection and copy the files onto your hard drive, before you DVD Shrink them (to half the size), use DVDFab Decrypter. Its free to download and use.
I cannot condone copying using this software for financial gain, but I do believe in being able to backup your own DVDs to protect the originals from being scratched. It can take a while to decrypt so you're best doing something whilst you're waiting! Its a very useful program.
Hope this helps. :)

If you'll look in the HELP section of DVD Shrink you'll see that when it cannot remove the copy-protection it suggests you to download DVD Decryptor. Once you 'decrypt' the movie with DVD Decryptor, you open up the DVD Shrink program. Instead of clicking 'Open Disk' just click 'Open Files' and everything works the same from there on... good luck :-)
EdiT: Also, the ANYDVD program being suggested above IS an excellent program!!!!!!!!! You can try it free for 21 days! Then you'll want to buy it... I'm still saving for it because it's just so easy and stable! :-)

The disk is encrypted. Look for DVD decrypter and process the program first before using Shrink.

AnyDVD is the best program to copy DVD's. You have to pay for it but that is a lifetime licence. It will decrypt anything! Updates everytime a new copy protection is released.

AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software.
AnyDVD is capable of removing unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. It also allows you to launch an external application whenever you insert or remove a disc, or prevent 'PC-friendly' software from automatically launching when you insert a video DVD.
Decryption is not all that AnyDVD offers. You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays.
But AnyDVD doesn't just stop at DVDs. It also decrypts protected audio CDs to allow you to copy them.

Use DVD Shrink to compress the film onto you hard drive and use Clone DVD to burn in onto a blank DVD.
