i have a slight problem here, I have the newest version of DVDFab Platinum and when i pop Saw 4 in it like starts to analyze it, and the green bar fills up like once and the it starts going so slow and it never finishes. What can I do?
Hey everyone I have a problem. I finally got it to run through shrink but I get an error that says: "the current dvd size is too big! if you continue you may not be able to burn the resulting files. Please ensure that video is set to automatic compression or try disabling auido streams. Can someone help me out with this? I do not know how to disable audio streams all I know is that the green bar is at 4,464 and then a red bar after that at 6,302. is there a way to get rid of the red bar to be able to burn to a dvd? Thanks for the help
@Nrth16 Here's the Shrink guide at aD that will show you how to remove the audios. They're listed under audio. It's very simple just uncheck them DVD Shrink guide
Can anyone tell me how to get the newest version of DVDFab. It would be greatly appreciated so i can back up saw IV
Hmm.. well i thought it was going to be really complicated.. But so far so good i used the dvdfabhddecryptor (free) and then i used nero 7 nero vision with smart encoding and just had the vob files pieced together.. not sure if its going to work but so far so good. while watching the preview and the encoding.. Takes about 30 mins to put the files together and another 30 for the encode and burn.. so ill let you know the results.
just to let all know that i managed to burn saw iv with know problems...the entire disk by updating any dvd and ripping it with it then used shrink and did final burn with roxio. hope this helps someone.
I used DVDfab and I told it if several try to abort when the screen appear and it put it in my box then I went to copy just main movie and it work ok, I used copy to dvd to burn.
Binkie, I was wondering if I could ask you a question! If i open the disk with shrik and let it do its thing, it will show me how much room the movie takes up. ( in this case too much space) I never have ripped a disk before I have always used anydvd and shrink and never had a problem being to large. I have read the post you had given me but if I am understanding it right is that I have to rip the disk first correct! then that should allow me to have the space right? I have burn the movie once but it is not the full movie it is just the movie, I would like to get the extras if possible. is there a way to do this with shrink or will i have to rip it??? Thanks for the help and sorry for being so uneducated with this stuff
@Nrth16 You don't always have to rip 1st but with this movie using Shrink I would. Use the latest AnyDVD - 6.3.1.2 and rip w/ that - it's very easy. Create a folder you want to rip/save it to. Right click on the red fox in your system tray (bottom right hand side of your screen) Pick 'rip video dvd to hard disk' - the ripper part of AnyDVD opens. Next to destination directory click on the folder icon and pick the folder you created. Now click 'copy dvd'. Once it's done open those files in Shrink using the open files icon. Pick the folder and just use shrink as usual.
Binkie7, here is what i did: I used dvd decrypter and when that was finished I then opened the files with shrink however it is still the same length and gives me that warning of it being too big. I am not sure how to get it smaller. If you would be so kind to help me out that would be great! I tried to uncheck a few different things and it goes down by like 100 but not enough?? I dont know where to go from here to get it smaller? Thanks again for the help and patience
Don't rip with decrypter - use the AnyDVD ripper instead. It has something similar to FixVTS which cleans the files while it's ripping. It will give you a cleaner file that Shrink should then be able to handle.
Well that should have done it - the a couple of posts in this thread I think that that method worked. Try ripping w/ DVDFab HD Decrypter - 4.0.5.5. If that doesn't do it - then I'm stuck.
I have been able to do this backup 4 different ways. 1. Any DVD 6.3.0.9 rip with Nero Recode using (Remake a DVD) select title 1 only, Movie only, then burn. This one was the fastest. 2. DVD Fab Platinum 4.0.5.1 This took the longest. movie only 3. Clone DVD with ANY DVD 6.3.0.9 movie only 4. Rip it 4 me 1.4.5.0 w/ fix VTS.1.4.0.3 removing < > brackets. works also. I did a full backup using this method.
Nrth16 after you rip with the latest beta version of dvdfab decrypter, BTW do just the movie only! use fixvts to clean the file! then dvd shrink should work fine. heres a step by step guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/494836
Alllready for whatever reason some drives have problems reading some hard to do new releases I have a new sata Lite-On that has the same problem now and then when my Plextor/Pioneer drive will read it fine. thats why i always have two different brands of drives in my case. using the latest beta versions of dvdfab decrypter or anydvd may fix that correct the drive reading it
ok having problems with saw 4 and do not understand how to use anydvd. I dled it and what I just open it and than open clonedvd2 and run as if I used fab?
