NEED Help w/DVD R Plz come ScubaPete & anyone else

Hey I used ScubaPetes directions (and where very detailed and helpful) Forum (thread was DVD-R for newbies) on How to use DVD Shrink and Decyrpter and i made a back-up sucessfully of Seabiscuit but the i tried to make a back-up of "A sent of a Women" w/Al Pacino for my girlfriend and it said "THIS DISC IS NOT FORMATTED TO PLAY IN THIS REGION" I noitcied after I downloaded it from DVD shrink it asked my what Country i was from i X-ed out of it and figured it didnt matter. Could that be the Problem? What country do i need to be from then? lol...It didnt ask me what country I was from for seabiscuit but it did for this "A sent of a Women". Is that it? I have a screen shot of what is said but it wont let me paste it here I can email it to you if you email me.... so....thnx for the help......
P.S. Email is

Your gonna get in trouble.. LOL yer not allowed to post emails on here. Im not 100% sure about your question. Did you complete the back up and then try to watch it and thats when it said "Not formatted to play in this region"? Or was it prior to actually having it backed up? If you used Shrink then right after you hit "Back up" go to the little tab that says "DVD Region" and make sure "Region Free" is checked. That should solve your problem if I understood the question right.

 

It came up after i made the back-up and tried to watch it. Thanks for your help! Sorry about the email thing, i read the rules but forgot about it! And if i did pick the region what region would it be cause not allowed from US or Germany and some other place when go to Download Decypter.

 

I went back to do that and (ill type out since cant do screenshot) said:

"DVD appereas to be R.C.E. protected:
If you CORRECTLY speficy the region for which this DVD was intended DVD shrink will remove R.C.E. Protection.

If you leave the R.C.E. coding unmodified this DVD will not play in a region-free DVD player, with region code other than the intended region."

Then i can choose to either:

****All exaclty copied besides spelling****

Specify Region or to Leace R.C.E. coding unmodified

If i choose Specify Region my options are:
1)USA canada
2) West europe Japan South Africa
3)South East Asai
4) Australia spanish America
5)Russia East Europe Africa
6) China

1st i tried Leave R.C.E. coding unmodified and didnt work then i tried #2 and it didnt work and it is up again!

AAAH! What do I do?!!!!
Thanx Again!

 

P.S. That comes up when i do click Back-up and and I says "THIS DISC IS NOT FORMATTED TO PLAY IN THIS REGION" when i try to play it.

 

USA

 

P.S. ^^^^^
I cant do region free cause it asks me that before i can go to that tab and after i select the region and i go to Region DVD region free is selected

 

Hey i looked up R.C.E. on web and this came up go to this website plz! It stands for Regional Coding Website.

Thanx again!!!

 

Hi BruinsFan,

Not to worry - When that screen comes up again select "Region 1".

It has nothing to do with DVD Decrypter and it doesn't go outside of your PC.

It is rare but there are times when it comes up, don't let it bother you. I've had maybe 10 DVD's that have done it to me out of over 800 discs. Where ever the disc is from (whatever it's Region), DVD Shrink isn't sure what it should do with the files it sees. When you say, "Hey Dummy, this RCE is from Region, 1,2 or 3 (or wherever), try that region." Then when DVD Shrink trys that RCE Region, it works and all is fine. At this point, when the burning begins, it will make the backup region, Region-Free.

As I said, just give it the correct answer. It will then try what you give it and if the answer is correct, then everything will go ahead as usual.

Burn on my friend, burn on . . . .

Cheers,

Pete

 

"burn baby burn, come over baby & light my fire!"
LOL

 

L0L thnx 4 all the help guys!! (Do u burn software the same way? If not how do u burn software) And also when you back up does the back-up take up a lot of your memory from your hard-drive?

Thanks for all the help!

 

I use nero for burning software. How do you mean memory from your hard drive? I think you mean does your PC use lots of resources when burning? Yes it does! I.e. do not expect your PC to do anything else whilst burning. Turn off all programs you don't need, turn off anti-virus, don't multitask, or you will end up with a coaster

 

Im saying when you are back-in it up does it use up your memory on C:/HardDrive Ya no since take a long time to back up....go to my computer right click C:/ and go down to properties and thats how much memory u got on your comp. (if you dont no what your C:/Drive is)

†

 

^^^^^^^ you can use nero as ur burning DVD program?
You dont need Decypter? I have nero but have no idea how to use it every time i tried to back up DVD on it it said copyrighted that why i came here ^_^

 

LOL what do u mean by....."you will end up with a coaster" ???

 

Do you mean virtual memory in computer properties? this should not effect burning. Slow reading & burning can be down to DMA (direct memory access) not enabled in device manager.

 

A coaster is a dud dvd copy. It's only use is as a coaster for cups & glasses, to protect your dinner table getting damaged from heat rings etc!
