DVD-9 1:1 copy using Shrink+DVDFab Decrypter

I've never used Nero to burn DL. The Nero 6 was supposed to be a stinker. The Nero 7 is supposed to be improved. I've heard conflicting reports on how well it sets the layer break. A lot of people are having good success with Shrink (removing layer break) and burning with DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn which sets the layer break. Of course you have to change the preference settings in Shrink from DVD5 to DVD9.

 

How do I change it to burn with DVD Decrypter, usually when I use shrink it rips the dvd, then opens the tray and asks for the disc and burns with Nero automatically?

 

In the burn settings (Backup -> Target Device -> Select backup target you select the option to create "ISO Image File and burn with DVD Decrypter".

 

THANKS! I'll give it a try on the next burn!

 

In Preferences remember to set to DVD9 for DL.

 

You'll probably have to change another setting:

Shrink/edit/preferences/File-I/O- untick the box that says enable burn with nero/then OK.

I did a DL the other day, ripped with dvd decrypter in ISO read mode/opened up IMGburn/located the MDS files/open/and burned at 2.4x. The scan turned out around a score of 95 so not too shabby.

This took 15 mins to rip,and 30 mins+ to burn at 2.4x speed. Total of 7.5 gbs!

 

Saugmon
I didn't need to change that one. The selection to burn with Decrypter in Backup appears to override the one in preferences. Since I put the ImgBurn.exe in Decrypter, it burns automatically with ImgBurn.

 

I'm trying to create an ISO using shrink with ANY DVD activated. I keep getting the following error:

Data Error, Cyclic Redundancy Check.

Anybody know why this is happening and how to correct it?

 

CRC?

Cyclitical Redundancy Check error. This means there are bad sectors on the dvd you are trying to re-rip. It can be damaged/dirty/a bum press/or encryption related.

If it's encryption related,anydvd should take care of it when activated.

So,you can try: Clean the disc/look for scratches-rubs-or any other defects. Also try with anydvd disabled.

Try another program. Dvd decrypter is a more aggressive ripper. Set it up for ripping in Brute force and Ignore all read errors. It'll sometimes get through those crc errors.

I just ran into that CRC on an older title. It errored out the first time,so I closed out/did it again and dvd shrink was able to get through it the second time.

I used shrink to make an iso (removed the break) and let decrypter burn the dvd... however when I play it.. the movie freezes on the break I am guessing, so I have to rewind it and then it plays perfectly through the break..

Why is this?

 

Just when I thought this was settled.... LOL

Okay, reading through the some related threads I came across one that states it is possible to do what I asked originally in this post and had been told was not possilbe. To wit:

I'd like to use DVDFab Decrypter to rip a DVD to my HD for those newer (ie, Sony Pictures) movies that cannot be ripped with DVD Decrypter alone. Then use the "Create: ISO image file and burn with DVD Decrypter" option with Shrink to burn out a 1:1 DVD-9 copy (keeping the "remove layer break" option checked)

Will this not work? I know, I know - I can always try and find out. But that's a two buck experiment (sorry for those that missed it, but Best Buy had DL's on sale last week, 20 for $40)

 

Riphound...

That is the method I used.. and the break isn't smooth.. it hangs on it and you have to rewind back and then it will play through it. I am not sure if it is from the removing break option in Shrink or what... but I am looking for a better method as well. Because this doesn't quite make a coaster but it is slightly annoying when watching the DVD
