DVD Shrink wont complete backup

#1 15 Sep 2012 @ 6:18
Hi Guys,

Sorry did do a search but I am really struggling to backup a dvd. Shrink wont rip it as it says its
protected so I used dvd decryptor to rip it.

I have tried ripping it as both an ISO image and the other way but I end up with files too big to burn.

I read on the advice here to then run these files through Shrink but everytime I do it encounters and error
and wont complete the backup.

Has anyone had this before or know a clever way out as its sucking my will to live!!!!!!

Many thanks Paul

'DVD Decrypter' or 'DVDFab Decrypter'?

I used dvd decrypter to rip it. I also tried ripping it using the fab one but I only have the standard version so it wont do anything with it

Generally it's Rip with DVDFab, cleanup using FixVTS then DVD Shrink to transcode.

or you can get very hands on.. and do it the old skool method.. (note.. I took out the howto for making a psl dumpfile after legal threats)

I think that maybe a bit beyond my capability!!!

I have now tried the fixvts but it still doesn't work. I assume i am doing it right by gogin to the correct folder and hitting full dvd button!!!

I can watch the ripped dvd on the laptop but shrink is falling over at the same point everytime.

any more tips greatfully received, I'll delete all the files I Have and try again, but I am sruggling to understand whats going wrong

What's the name of the movie and are you selecting 'Main Movie' only in DVDFab.

I ripped it using dvd dycrypter, I ripped the complete disc.

It s not a main stream movie its a freestyle mx dvd called crusty.

I'll try ripping it again and see how that goes
