i like to backup my dvd's.and i have just tried my first dvd(blade3) with dvd decrypter. i have it stored in a folder but want to burn it to dvd what is needed to do this.
You will need to download free program DVDShrink to compress and encode your file. Here is a site where you will be able to download the program, just scroll down to bottom of the page http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/index.htm Here is a guide that will explain the process http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide3.html Come back if you have more questions :~)
i was able to do my first(blade 3). no issues, but i have tried meet the fockers.it decryptes no problem but i open dvd shrink and it says failed to open file what have i done.
Did you rip in file mode or iso? If you did file, then use open files tab and find your movie, if you did iso the go to file tab, and open disc image and find your iso file.
i believe i found what i did. thx to the guides from the site. i'll post back and update. now if i could only find my cd for my printer. so i could just print all this info and read up later.
i think it was iso arniebear so i went back to the site and read it again and found it. not sure from your last post about which to go into. so thats why i'm sticking with the how to guide for now and did it from scratch. thx arniebear for your help and much needed time, i'm sure i will need more of it.
im having the same problem with my DVDShrink, except I took your advice and it didn't work. The files are VOB files but I cant open them with the open files tab. It always says "specified path not found". Any help?
will now after 12hrs later and still the same.(nothing) i think i should uninstall both s/w and start it over again. i'll try the point you made to me arniebear and yes thats how i did it in file mode i should have done it in iso read first then shrink and then change to write and then back and finish with shrink where it then writes the dvd afetr encoding.good to have you around to help dumbasses like me.i can't give up yet i must have another shot.
Rip your movie with DVDDecrypter in read mode, you will then have an iso file on your hardrive, usually it is the name of the movie, there will also be a smaller file that will be named MDS. After you have ripped open Shrink and go to file, open disc image, and find your iso file open this, continue with Shrink and then you will be able to burn. Here is another guide, it shows file mode but it may be helpful http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/dvdshrink.html http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/reccomended.html http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=63fd9ea0d669cdf5c708c5e15a9d34d1&threadid=49051
ok i d/l your new guide also arniebear. and this is what i get dvd decryoter device {1:0:0}hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-4163b a100(e) (ata) unable to lock volume for exclusive access reason access is denied. all files are set to my c/ movies folder. it decrypted fine i can see the file called meet the fockers and the mds file. i can encode and after that it should burn but i get the above error. sorry to waste ones time. thx for all your help and guides. i have to keep trying. maybe i'll get it going.
Okay try an easy fix, I hope try this Go into Tools tab in DVDDecrypter, then settings, then Iso write, and uncheck the lock volume-exclusive access. You can also try unchecking the cycle tray
think i know what's got that drive open. Try this (in windows explorer) - untick the tickbox here - pesky Microsoft, grumble, grumble
omg you guys and this site rocks when it comes to help holy smokes. i'm trying badboys now but will look into this after it has decrypt. thx guys. j
thx arniebear that did it uncheck those two boxes and that was it. also i had deleted my old folder and created a newer one and now all is good. i did oceans 12 and badboys 2 and national treasure. i'll be doing more tonight. thx buddy for all your help and to creaky also. the only sad thing is no more updates for one of these great programs hopfully someone will keep up the awesome work.
Glad to here it worked out for you, yes it is sad about DVDDecrypter a really great program, and one of the few free ones. Have a good one, and happy burning :~)
