I hope I'm posting this in the correct place but here goes. I have backed up DVDs in the past using an old computer running windows XP. I used the combination of RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter, and DVD Shrink. I let DVD Shrink use Nero to backup the DVD. I recently purchased a new laptop that obviously has Vista. I also purchased Nero 8 Ultra Edition. All other settings are the same as on the old computer that successfully backed up my DVDs. The new computer will backup my DVD but it won't read in any DVD player, only in a computer. Also, anytime I close out of DVD Decrypter I get an error message stating: "Failed to set data for 'DVDDecrypterPlayDVDMovieOnArrival'." Anybody got any advice? Is there a conflict using RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink with Vista? Problems using Nero 8? Or am I just an idiot? haha.
Hopefully that all made sense and someone out there knows more about this stuff than I do because I'm fresh out of ideas.

Hope u have 4Gs of RAM if u want Vista to work and a fast FSB >800MHZ and at least 2.4GHz core 2 duo processor ( at the minimum ).
Vista is not that bad, not great either. XP was way better but that is not an option with the new computers. The laptop I use has Vista and I use Nero 6 with IMG. I have not had any issues with it so I have not upgraded to new version. Why fix something if it's not broken. I also us the software you mentioned but the newer movies cause those programs to crash. On those flicks I use DVDFAB HD Decrypter. Other than that Shrink still works. That was the only way I could get Live Free or Die Hard to backup without any issues.
I'm not normally one to "revive" old threads, however weighing against the options of either reviving or being accused of not searching, I opt to revive. A friend of mine just got a new dell with Vista Home Basic, and she's getting the exact same decrypter error. This error is not harmful to the process and with the programs and settings as they are (compatibilities and such) it's a simple matter of hitting "OK", and a working dvd is made. This error at this point is a simple annoyance, however, does anyone know of a way to bypass the "Failed to set data for 'DVDDecrypterPlayDVDMovieOnArrival' " error?
If you can locate the dvddecrypter.exe file on your HD, right click on and open the properties window. On the compatibility tab check the box to run as administrator and voila that does the trick!
