Hi, I used ScubaPete's guide for DVD shrink and decrypter to copy a DVD but it won't work in my player- it says that it is incompatible with the region specified or something like that. After pressing play again I got it to work somewhat but it was jerky and had weird pixelations, then it stopped again. What could be causing this? If I am using Memorex dvd's, is that the problem? thanks
Hi Bradwell, %@*# WAAAAPPP ! ! #*@# (That was a bit of a ScubaPete slap) Yea, Ya see that, you use my Oooonhh so perfect guide and ya burn it on that crappy Memorex media and it's ScubaPete's fault - NOT ! ! ! First off, make sure in DVD Shrink, "Edit", "Preferences" "Target size", change it to read 4300MB. Iffin ya were using the stuff I told you to use you could have it set at 4360MB BUT NOT NOW (heh, heh, not till get you get some good stuff) - Lastly, to try to work through that lously media, reduce your burn speed to 2.4X and see if that may help - Cheers, Pete _X_X_X_X_X_[small] The “old man” Pete (ö¿ô) Compaq 8000, Pent IV CPU 2.84GHz, 1024MB RAM, 520GB HD.

i tried again this time with a verbatim dvd and its still sayinf that the player is not compatible with the region marking of the disk- does this have to do with the country that you select? which country should you select to allow dvd players to play the disc?? thanks!
i live in the u.s. and i don't have the dvd anymore the files on my computer now but i'm assuming region 1 bc it was bought in the u.s. and works here
Are you sure the software is set to make a region free copy? The region setting in Shrink is available after you hit the Backup! tab. If it asks you for a region at any point before that just select Region 1 _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Got Indie? http://cdbaby.com/ My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim Forum rules! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
It can also be set to say "Region Free" which should render the copy region free. BTW bradwell, your PC will play a peanutbutter sandwich on Rye bread - Standalones and ps2's are much, much picker - Cheers, Pete
We do have to add - Pumpernickel is fine for Data, Jpg, Gif and MP3 backups but shouldn't be used for DVD Video unless well toasted - - (Now let's wait for the cards and letters on this one hey, Neph ?)
