Thanks for the advice. I have DVD shrink but it encounters a problem when I try to use it on newer movies. Also, I thought it wasn't avaliable anymore, have they rereleased it? Dvdfab doesn't work on some of my newer movies either. So is there any free software that works on newer movies? I haven't beenable burn anything in over a year with my old programs.

Shrink will not work on new movies as a ripper. You use free DVDFab as your ripper to get the files to your hard drive then you use Shrink to open those files and burn them with whatever you've been using with shrink. You're 2/3 of the way home already. You have used shrink and have burned the output to DVD, right? All shrink needs is a little help- free FAB or paid for AnyDVD which requires no learning curve-set it forget it update it regularly for new encryptions. It runs in the background and let's Shrink work like it used to. We all still have and use good old shrink from time to time. I mainly use AnyDVD and Nero Recode one button push start to finish once you set each dvd up if you have two burners. With one burner it's a few more steps.

For Fab to work you must update it regularly also. They can be a little slower in update time than AnyDVD but not usually. They must both be updated with the new release versions to do the new movies. So update your Fab and rip with it and use your Shrink 3.2.

Ok, I tried using the Main Movie feature instead of the Full Disc with DvdFab and it copied but Shrink couldn't open it because apparently it copied in IFO format and not ISO, which is what Shrink uses. So now I am stuck and don't know how to fix this one or what to use. HELP PLEASE

Ok, I did all of that with Shrink but when it. Is time to start the backup process then I get the following message:
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
The specified folder is invalid.
Access is denied.
What can I do now? Is it Shrink or Fab that is causing the problem? As for the two dvdfabs you mentioned, does one work better then the other? I don't even know what the difference is between the Beta and the Passkey.
I'm such a girl, most of This just goes over my head so thanks for the detailed info and step by step instructions and advice.

Trying to backup my Scrubs season 8 discs. They appear to have no scratches and I always wipe them off before I put them into the drive.

I sure do. Had a brain fart there! Guess it wouldn't have to be my next new release I buy. Had a blonde moment there. I am blonde so I can say that. I will try one now. Transformers should be ok, even though I have a backup already, my kids love it.
