why is it that DVD Shrink fails to work even though my movie only has the smallest scratch? any help or suggestions? are there any free and good programs out there that does what dvd shrink does?

dvd shrink can't handle the newer movies being it hasn't been updated in years you will need to rip with dvdfab decrypter FIRST!! use this thread.

would dvdfabdecrypter work with a scratched disk?

hard to say ,depends how bad the scratch is, give it a go and see

Is this an original dvd or a backup copy that has a scratch?

Is dvd shrink showing CRC errors? "Cyclitical Redundancy Check errors"

Dvd decrypter and ImgBurn may be able to get through that scratch. They are more aggressive rippers than dvd shrink.

I've seen near perfect dvds giving crc errors while hideous/deeply scratched dvds had no problem ripping.

Then again, encryption can do the same thing-sony/columbia releases.

I'm also curious...copy or pressed dvd?

Try using dvdfab gold that should work OK

But you will have to pay for it

its the original movie that im trying to copy.

i also need to use the dvd shrink first in order to compress the movie small enough to fit a single layer media. so not using dvd shrink is not an option.

does dvd decrypter do what dvd shrink does?

dvd decrypter rips to hddd only. DVDD has not been up date for 2.5 years . Best to go to dvd fabhddecrypter (free) as the ripper, then use dvd shrink
