Thank you for helping me. I have been downloading movies using dvd shrink as you instructed me to do. It has worked wonderfully. I have successfully burned about 23 movies. I am currently attempting to copy Planet Of The Apes. It gives me the message "failed to read" and "data error (cyclic redundancy chock". I am not sure what to do. Please help me if you can. Thanks,\ duke 2312
Dowload DVDecrypter [free] find some of Scuba Petes excellent guides on how to use it, and Prrro seed. also check your media. gringle
Duke, I would guess that your DVD is scratched or dirty. Try cleaning it. If that doesn't work, see if you can get your hands on another DVD. Good Luck, HW.
I tryed with dvd decrypter but it still doesn't work . I also cleaned the disk. The disk was brand new in unopened box but I cleaned it anyway . The problem I'am having is dvd shink analyses about 47% of movie then pops up CYCLIC REDUNANCY CHECK FROM DVD ROM DRIVE.If you place in burner drive it analyses about the same % but pops up copy protection error.
What media are you using duke? also I may be worthwhile downloading the 21 day trial of AnyDVD from slysoft and/or DVD43 http://www.dvd43.com/ try both they don't conflict. but I think poor media might be the culprit. good luck gringle
One other thing are you trying to burn from a DVD disc or from a downloaded movie, if it's from a site what format is it in? regards gringle
Gringle you were right it was bad media. The dvd was brand new so I never expected it to be bad . I put it in home player and the bad spot showed up there . Thank you for your info, and help.
if the "original" was yours i would take it back if it wasnt,hehe,and you want to copy it anyway,you could try enabling ignor read errors in decrypter and if the error spot is not too big,and u dont mind missing it out,dvd shrink will allow you to edit the damaged scenes out just reauthor,right click,select start/stop points.keep dragging it over. the minimum u can remove is 6 secs(15 frames) i have never tried this function myself,so not entirely sure it will work with regards hursty
