DVDShrink does me just fine, thank you very muchos.Originally Posted by erik
Shame about the big companies stepping on some poor guy though.
DVD X Copy is by far the best one step option
It doesn't really need to be updated. 3.5.4.0 is pretty much perfect. Remember to keep your install files if you change computers tho.
Which leads me to a question.
I'm having problems with a DVD I'm backing up (Kill Bill 2).
I keep getting a Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which you would normally get with a scratched DVD.
I'm running DVD Shrink 3.2 with Nero 6.3.12.5 Enterprise Edition. DVD-burner is a Samsung TS-H552U running latest firmware (TS-H552U_US06.BIN).
Machine is an AMD Athlon 64 3500+, Foxconn NF-4UK8AA (NForce4 board), 2048MB RAM, Seagate ST3200822AS SATA HD, so no worries about the grunt.
Has anyone else encountered these problems? I can't even copy the files off without the error so it weird, as this is a brand new disc.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

I got that problem once. When borrowing a CD-R off a friend.
It had that error on every single computer I tried it on. Except his own.
Yeah, usually you would get that if someone burnt at 52x on a 4x disk or something like that. But since it's a legimate DVD you are talking about my experience doesn't help you at all =-(
I had the same problem with some DVDs i wrote on my drive. if it happens all the time try a different brand dvd's or try writing at lower speed.
ultimate fix i guess would be to get a new dvd writerand this time go for quality in stead of price

Have you used DVD Rescue? comes with DVD X-Copy Platinum.Originally Posted by riffer
If you able to find version 3.2.1 of Platinum and download it, i can email you a crack.
I've experienced this problem when backing up DVD's in the past. I changed my brand of blank DVDs and the problem dissapeared. I don't know if there's a link, but a web site I visited told me that if you use 'cheap' DVDRs you can experience problems like this.Originally Posted by riffer
Are you using the correct format DVDRs? Remembering the ole -/+ issues. Is your burner capable of handling both the - & + formats?

Do you mean, use DVD shrink to decrypt then use DVD DECRYPTOR to burn? I think that is the way.Originally Posted by Fart
I think the main advantage with using DVD SHRINK to rip is you can adjust the compression of the burnt video. So you can increase compression for the menus and all that and reduce compression for the main video. Most DVD's have more storage than our normal DVD+R and DVD-R, so there will be compression required. You can also choose which streams of video you want burnt on to your copy DVD.![]()

I found that DVD X Copy Platinum did the copying great, but lacked features. I guess, depends how fancy you want to get. heheh..![]()

Other way around. DVD Decrypter to decrypt the DVD and get around the encryption, then DVD shrink to compress the DVD file in order to get it to fit on a DVD. Well - that's what I do anyway.Originally Posted by FEINT

All in one process, i don't have to open up dvd decryptor. When you have pressed 'backup' in DVD shrink, go and look through the options, there is one "burn with dvd decryptor". It saves me alot of hassle.![]()
Once you have it decrypted, and dvd shrink has compressed, what do you use to burn? Nero?
Yup. I'll have to give it go, maybe tonight, the other way around. Sounds a lot 'cleaner' than the way I do it.Originally Posted by FEINT

Well, thanks for the replies folks.
A couple of things though.
The DVD burner is 2 weeks old.
Samsung Dual Layer DVD-/+R TS-4552U with latest firmware.
I am trying to COPY files OFF a retail DVD to make a backup, not Writing DVD's The problems is in the READING.
I thought it might be an encryption thing but no, it seems to be the actual disc itself as heaps of others have no problems.
I'll try DVD Rescue - hadn't thought of that. I've got it at home.
As for decryption. I use DVD43. Works great
Of, and of course - Nero.
