has anyone successfully backed up national treasure? first- i tried dvdxcopy, it froze up around 20%. second- i tried shrink, it errored out during the initial read a little more than half way through. third- i tried dvd decrypter, & it errored out at like 7%. all of the programs that i tried using are the most recent versions. i appreciate any help in taking care of this. thanks!
i backed it up 1st attempt with DVD shrink 3.1.7 & burned with nero, running AnyDVD in the background. this was the region 2 (UK) version. which region film is it that youre trying to backup?
There are no special encryptions on this movie. DVD Shrink can handle it by itself; then use your burning app of choice. If you are having problems with this movie, more than likely you have a bad press or some scratches on the disk.
As Laboy said sounds like you have a bad disc - there seems to be alot of that these days. Try cleaning it. If that doesn't work you should exchange it. I had no problems using AnyDVD w/ Nero Recode. You could also try Scuba Pete's 'hard to rip' DVD guide: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/index.htm. This method has working for me however I haven't watched the back ups yet so I don't know if ignoring the errors caused any playback problems.
dvd shrink was all i needed to do the U.S. version, i stored my copy away in my closet while i gave the backup to my wife's family..hehe.
Used DVD Decrypter and Nero Recode2 done in 40 mins. at 4x with no problems. Try another original there is no special protection on this disk.
Hi t-traxxx. I had exactly the same issue with DVDXcopy Platinum with AnyDVD in the background - Froze the machine 5 times. Going to try it with DVD Shrink now.
I just did a second back up using InterVideo 2 and DVDIdle Pro 5.82 - this work beautifully without any issue at all.
what r we gonna do when they DO come out with new "special encryptions" that we cant crack right away, cause when someone cant burn a movie we automatically think "oh crap here's a new encryption" lol. not insulting anyone here just thought its funny how new encrytpions pop up every tuesday (when new movies are released in US)lol.
