I have a clean copy downloaded a couple of years ago. The build is from 2004, it rips a couple of encrypted DVDs a week onto a 64-bit media server running Win7 Pro, and remarkably /never fails/. It's byte-for-byte identical with another DVDshrink instance that's been running on an XP machine for ten years. Haven't tested it in Win8 but it should run at least in "compatibility" mode there. If you want it, I'll email it to you.
