I have been copying dvd's using dvdshrink for a while now. when i try to make a copy of a copy, it gives me error messages (acylic)? i can play these videos in a dvd player, or even watch them on the pc, however when i try to copy them i get these messages. also i can go in to dvd decrypter and use it, then try to send it to shrink and it wont except it? what am i doing wrong?
Why are you trying to use Shrink, your disk has already been compressed. If you can rip with Decrypter with no CRC error then do it in iso read mode then open the MDS file with Decrypter use iso write mode and burn it.
arniebear, ok i tried what you said to do, now im getting the message INVALID FIELD IN CDB for decrypter. whats this and what do i do with it lol. and what do you think might be wrong with the shrink issues i wrote about earlier?
It sound like your copy has errors in it. Are you using good media and burning at 4x because this will make a difference when trying to copy a copy. If the original copy is not done well it will error out.
If your DVD plays in a standalone player as well as on your pc but you get something like "Cyclic Redundancy Errors" when trying to rip then install AnyDVD as it's probably that Sony ARccOS crap. I had the very same probs with Madagascar untill I installed AnyDVD. Hope this works for you.
@bakerloo This is in the post AnyDVD is useful on original DVD movies to break encryptions. Once you have copied the movie it no longer has any encryption it is just a disk, and AnyDVD is not needed.
thank you for your support, im going to try anydvd and see what happens, and that would be the same movie im having probs with, if there are any more added tips on this movie please feel free to let me know
if you want to make a back up of a back up the programs that works best for me are ashampoo and blind write, just do a disk copy and depending how fast your putter is (mine is p-4 1.7 512 ddr ram 40gb 7200 rpm) takes about 8 min.
