Seen a few people asking for a "feature" to allow DVDshrink to be set to lower priority so that it will not hog all the CPU.

Heres the DIY solution.

Use a text editor (notepad) and build this simple Bat file.

start "DVDshrink" /low "C:\Program Files\DVDTools\DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5.exe"

Change low for the priority you want, and ensure that the path leads to your dvdshrink exe. Save the text file as DVDshrink_low.bat or whatever you want.

Simple.

If you want to get fancy you can change the path in a shortcut to point to the Bat file instead of the exe, and get to keep the icon!
