You can replace everything except the main movie and menu with stills in full disc backup mode, but if you use the reauthor mode it will not include the menu.

You could try VobBlanker if you wish. If your main movie is the largest VTS (usually is) just open in VobBlanker, choose an output folder, up at the menu's click Blank>Auto then click Process and VobBlanker blanks everything accept the VMG, Menu and Movie (which saves more space than DVDShrinks still image option). That's the simplest free way I know of aside from TitlesetBlanker.

Another possibility is:

Active menu after re-authoring in DVD Shrink

(Don't be misled by the statement "Do not re-author")

The method described works quite nicely, with two caveats, one significant and the other easily resolved:

1) The menu MUST be contained (as the "VTS_0x_0.VOB") in the same .VOB sequence as the movie

2) The .VOB sequence MUST be "VTS_01_x.VOB" (If this is not originally the case, you can change to this numbering sequence AFTER using DVD Shrink to rip the menu/movie sequence of .VOBs (by selecting the menu/movie .IFO instead of the "VIDEO_TS.IFO") and before using (the freeware version of) DVDFab's "Create Video Manager" to create the (intentionally) missing "VIDEO_TS.IFO" and "VIDEO_TS.BUP" files
