For some reason i'm having trouble trying to copy the movie Stealth... on dvd decrypter i keep getting a error and when i use dvd shrink i get a error as well and it says invalid dvd navigation structure... can any one help me... thanks
Take a look at this: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/255980 Stealth is a Sony release. Sony is putting new encryptions on their releases making them difficult to rip. The link I posted should help you with your problem.
Download DVDFab Decrypter or get AnyDVD. These handle the newer encryptions and should solve this issue. Cheers.
can't load the new AnyDvd says my trial expired even when i uninstall everything it still knows i had a trial most trials when i uninstall everything i'm able to download it again... not this time any way to go around this...
Then try the free DVD Fab Decrypter available from http://www.filepedia.com under rippers. Use it to rip to your HDD and then open Shrink and proceed to open the file and burn.
Not the same, apples to oranges. DVDFab decrypter is a ripper with a built in encryption breaker. AnyDVD just breaks encryptions and then you have to use a ripper. AnyDVD is probably updated for new encryptions quicker. Both are equally good in my opinion. AnyDVD notifies you when there is an update. You have to check for update with DVDFab. I have them both.

" Ya ... buy it old boy! You need it for the new encryptions. No dis intended but you wouldn't have even started this thread if you had AnyDVD v. 5.5.1.1. Get the combo deal that includes CloneDVD2. It will end all your headaches with the freeware and shareware programs. http://www.slysoft.com/en/purchase.html Best regards, Whisperer
The AEC or quality settings are based on the amount of compression if it is under 80% you may want to use Smooth, under 70% the Max Smooth. Otherwise just leave at default.
I noticed a few pauses in my backups... how do i avoid that is that the cause of setting it to sharp when i use dvd shrink... or is it the speed that im burning at cause i was told to burn at one but the only options that i have is max... 6...or 8...and im using good quality dvd+r sony's ... please help... once again...thanks
The pauses are not because of the settings, keep you burn to 6 or 8, and make sure the firmware on your burner is up to date.
Arniebear... "The AEC or quality settings are based on the amount of compression if it is under 80% you may want to use Smooth, under 70% the Max Smooth. Otherwise just leave at default." Which amount of compression do i look at Menus 73.9% ... Main Movie 62.0% or Extras 71.9%...
When using Dvd Decrypter or Fab Decrypter and then Dvd Shrink afterwards approximately how long should it take to burn a dvd... cause for me it takes 5hrs or more is that how long it should take and now i changed the setting on Dvd Shrink to maximum smooth now the estimated time is 7hrs... someone told me it only takes 10mins now i think that person is being to dramatic...
@ phatjiggy: This usually depends on you computer specs. For me, it only takes 12 - 15 minutes to burn. BTW, I use DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. For the whole process, starting with ripping, encoding, and finally, burning. I'm done in a little under an hour. (I burn under 4x.) I have an AMD Sempron 3200: 1.9 mghz 160 gigs 512 mb So you see, your 5 - 7 hour burn seems a "tad" much. I'm thinking your dma settings might've switched to PIO mode. To change click on the link and look up the 2nd question: http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm Good Luck!
Hey konfused1 i'm using my laptop so my burner is hooked up to a drive enclosure so would that be the problem why its slow...
