Everytime i try to shrink it with dvdshrihk it keeps telling me. DvdShrink encountered a problem and cannot continue. Failed to Read File "d/" Data Error (cyclic Redundancy check)
You have a couple of options, I first decrypted with DVDfab then used shrink, made a perfect copy. Another option you have is to run AnyDVD in the background when using Shrink to remove any protection the disc may have (this is also what DVDFab does). DVDFab is free, AnyDVD is free to try for a 21 day trial period, but is updated more often. Plus AnyDVD will allow you to use shrink the way you have been normally because it runs in the background.
Try ripping with Fab first then shrinking, I can't remember if I used shrink or recode, but Fab allowed me to get a perfect copy with menus and all.
Try using the free software vobblanker - i used this for Madagascar which had the same problem - make sure you have Anydvd running, you run vobblanker, click browse and navigate to the video_ts directory on your dvd. You then choose an output directory - bear in mind that the dvd will be copied in its entirety so you will need 9 gb free for the files. When vobblanker has copied the files,click "process all". When finished open dvdshrink, choose "open files" and then navigate to the output directory you created - hopefully this will work.
hi, i successfully backedup madagascar with NO PROBLEM AT ALL with CloneDVD and ANYDVD. THEY HAVE TO BE THE LATEST VERSION, or else clone with give u error toward teh end of ripping. use those 2 programs and u should be ok. j
I don't see the problem myself. I did "Mr and Mrs Smith" some time back and it wasn't anything special. Cyclic Redundancy simply means Shrink is suffering a read problem and is timing out. I use HD files, so I use AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter to get my cleaned files on the hard drive (HD). Once a person has a compliant (cleaned) source, transcoding or encoding should be a breeze with most apps available. The key is getting the clean rip. Besides VobBlanker, I've found FixVTS to be another handy app for straightening up compliance issues. Most of the compliance problems happen with the newer movies with the Sony ARccOS and/or bad sector protection(s).
i tried everything described above,still doesn't work. running anydvd and then using dvddecrypter,decripter tells me that there are no devices found,and if i try dvd shrink it keeps telling me "DvdShrink encountered a problem and cannot continue. Failed to Read File "d/" Data Error (cyclic Redundancy check) "!!! fab decrypter tells me "get dvd information fail: 4100",so what the hell is going wrong.same thing with "edison".
It is a simple movie to copy - you appear to have a bad/damaged source disk - that is what the CRC error is telling you. Try a different source disk.
"edison" and "mr. & mrs. smith" both damaged??i don't think so... watched them both on my standalone dvd player,both worked fine. can even watch them on pc,but still unable to rip to HDD.
Edited: I said to rip the files to the HD. If it failed there, then what colw said is indicated, a problem disc. If you can't exchange the disc you have, do a read test with DVDInfopro or similar tool and see if you find a bunch of bad sectors. Sometimes cleaning and polishing a disc can help if scratched and smudged. I have a resurfacing tool for minor scratches. Internal falts and deep scratches are the kiss of death though. Sometimes discs will play that won't record.
If you can't rip a good DVD of Mr and Mrs Smith to the HD, you're doing something seriously wrong. I've heard of no serious protection on that one at all. As I said, I did it with AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter with no problems at all. Is the red fox Icon on the toolbar while you're using DVD Decrypter to rip the files to the HD?
the red fox icon is there,and shows me inform ations about the dvd(which things are repaired,fixed etc.)but dvd decrypter tells me that there are no devices found.
Then you don't have the files opened properly in DVD Decrypter. You can go to http://www.dvdshrink.info and take a look in guides for the short starter guide on how to use DVD Decrypter. At h ttp://www.dvdidle.com there is a free program named DVDFab Decrypter you can use to rip the DVD to the HD as well. All you do with it is select the source and target (where you're sending the ripped files), and then enter start. Remember where you sent the files so you can open them in Shrink.
i really tried everythign you wanted to tell me. i was running anydvd in background,i opened dvdfabdecrypter, put in the dvd,waited till anydvd shows me dvd information(i wonder if it is usual that anydvd shows me that the other drive contains a data cd??),and then clicked on start,but it always tells me "get dvd information fail: 4100".so i cleaned the dvd and tried again,but it doesnt work.if i try dvd decrypter instaed it tells me that it can't access to the dvd.so where the hell am i going wrong???
Yoshiizu, Can My Computer or Windows Explorer see the burner? If not, you should probably uninstall the drivers for the drive and re-boot, Windows should re-intall the drivers, but make sure DMA is on. HTH, Rich
