there was no new protection on a v p (uk), layercake (uk) use vobblanker and anydvd then shrink it with dvdshrink. also the same for saw (uk) boing boing baggies baggies
I had to use dvd decrypter and shrink dvd for layer cake and saw coz dvdxcopy platinum wouldnt touch them. i was told many times that layer cake had a new protection....how the dvd was structured...errors or something... baggies eh...im a season ticket holder at arsenal!
Ok, maybe I'm doing things in the wrong sequence?? I bypass dvd decryptor all together, took a 6gb disc (the series 24, season 3 first 4 episodes) Shrink burned the first 2 episodes without a hickup. Then tired burning the remaining 2 episodes on another disc using re-author. I get the "failed to read file"G;/" Date Error (cyclic redundancy check) Can't for the life of me get these 2nd two episodes to copy. I even sent the first disc back and asked for a replacement...the replacement did the same!! What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for all your help. By the way, I am running AnyDvd (4.5.8.1) in the backround still in the first 20 day tryout version. I'm an admitted "Newbie" so please be patient with me.
jeanielou, Rip the entire disk to your hard drive first with decrypter. Then use reauthor in Shrink to pick up the last two episodes
Ok, I'm back. I tried to burn the dvd to my hdd and got to 63%. got error message: I/0 Error Devise [1:0:0] 16x8 dvd dual A04b(G) (ATA) Scsi Status: oxo2 Interpretation: check Condition CDB: 28 00 00 26 (A 40 00 00 01 00 Interpretation: Read (10) - Sector 2529856 Sense Area: FO 00 03 00 26 9A 40 OE 00 00 00 00 15 82 00 00 00 00 03 00 Interpretation Unknown (positioning Error) (0x15, 0x82) {abort} {retry} {ignor} I hit ignor...waited about 4 minutes, it tried and failed about 33 times then I got the same error message as above accept the sector changed to 2529856. What Have I done wrong, is there a step I'm missing? I have intel 2.66 ghz with 1.25 ghz ram, ms xp home. I thought I was pretty well setup as far as power goes to be able to take on this project. Thanks for your help, Jeanie
New AnyDVD should get Layer Cake. 4.5.8.1 or something like that. Doesn't Layer Cake sound like some kind of encryption?
I'm on my trial period of ANYDVD...I thought dvd decypher did the same as anydvd. Would it be prudent to go ahead and purchase anydvd??? I really thought that shrink and dvd decryptor were the only programs that I really needed to do what I needed. Anyone got an opinion either way?? Jeanie
Decrypter and Shrink are pretty much all you need. However IMO there are better proggys out there you have to pay for. I have just about all of them, but I still use Decrypter and Shrink for certain thing's. Point is if you are backing up just the main movie then no need for anything nut Decrypter and Shrink. However if you are backing up the complete DVD with menus and extras then you may want a better proggy. Like DVDCopy3 or CloneDVD2. There really is no need for any DVD if you want to use Decrypter. biggest advantage of AnyDVD would be no need to copy a movie to the HD, and usually updates to the newer encryption faster. Neither one is that big of an issue IMO, but it might be to you?
