DVD SHRINK ( cyclic redundancy check error )

smooth88, mapleman, jessey ,

It sounds like you should be using DVD Decrypter then DVD Shrink. By using DVDD and AnyDVD to rip you may be able to put your DVD's to your HD then pick it up with Shrink using "File," then "Open disc image"

When using DVDD - rip it using ISO Read Mode. follow the settings in my guides listed in my sig.

As for those things mentioned in "Backup" you won't find anything until you get that far.

As far ad VOBBlanker, it isn't hard. Read my notes about ARccOS encryption tips.

OK I found that with scratched discs and cyclic redundancy errors you might want to slow things down. I found a way to do it with DVD decrypter. In the [bold]DEVICE[/bold] tab of the settings look to the bottom right. There is a check box that says [bold]Set Read Speed[/bold] check it and then change the read speed to 1X in the drop down box. Mapleman you might want to try to slow down your burn. You might be causing the errors b/c of your speed.

 

Thanks ScubaPete
I have been trying to make a backup of Shaun of the Dead for 3 days, and that sony aRcoSS or whatever, has been a bxtch to get past, or Jumping Jack boy as you reffered in an earlier post.
The movie shaun of the dead did not have "Title 1 menus" But it had VTS 1 or something, and in two places under the Unreferenced materials materials i you click on them, and then click play down at the bottom, you can see Jumping Jack boy looping over and over, so I just changed these to a still image and finally dvdshrink didn't crash.
Just an FYI for anybody else trying to copy this, i was running latest build of anydvd and i could rip it with dvd decrypter, but still, after i ripped it and opened it with dvdshrink it would not do it, still crashed. Just a FYI, and thanks again scubaP

 

Jess,

For problems Ripping, go to that title in my sig and use DVDD in the ISO mode to your HD then DVD Shrink - file - open image file, then process as usual and all should be fine.

I use that formula whenever I am backingup series type DVD's.

Cheers,

Pete

Let me know how you make out -

 

dont replace anything.
try file copy (which tries to read the damaged or dodgy data a hundred times more than most progs), then use DVDShrink on the files on the HDD, and if file copy still says CRC, then download CDCheck
http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/cyclic-redundancy.html which will replace the missing data. DVD's are crap, as a single missing zero or one will cause the whole thing to CRC stop, but this combo has allowed me to backup all DVDs so far which have failed due to CRC. (i do about 20 a week and one is allways dodgy)

enjoy.

 

Rather than say DVD's are "crap" we usually say that many DVD's are not made to the quality standards necessary to do Video backup work. We have done quite a bit of work and research in order to identify those discs that work well for our type of work. You can find it in my sig

By using a decent quality disc you'll find CRC errors hardly ever happen. I haven't had one in better than 6 months and I backup quite a few discs - as many as 8 or 9 discs a day ~

Here's a short version:

Eliminating errors and going for the "Best burn" ~ Tips ~

When attempting to achieve the best burn, consider reducing that burn speed to the 4X level. Iffin you have a new 16X, DL burner, you'll probably do well at 6X. It is my feeling that 8X and over leads to occasional coasters, even when using top grade stuff such as Verbatim DataLife Plus media.

The second part of the solution is to always use a decent grade media. I suggest something like those discs made by Taiyo Yuden, Ritek, Mitsubishi or RICOH. Unfortunately, they are also the discs most plagued by pirate Mfgrs. and for that reason I like dealing with Mertline, Supermediastore OR Newegg who have a great return policy on their products. I have had great luck with RiData and Verbatim DataLife Plus discs and their prices are extremely reasonable.[/b] As a passing note, when buying Verbatim's, they come with a lifetime warrantee. Return them with your sales slip OR register receipt and a new one will be shipped to replace it.

For the best online media stores to shop, try -

Mertline.com

Newegg.com

And,

Supermediastore.com
http://www.supermediastore.com/media1.html

Shopping around can prove worthwhile - Staples, as of this date, offered HP +R DVD's (LQQked them up in MediaMatch and they are made by Mitsubishi) for $18.00 per 50. Verbatims were on sale for $22.00 for 100 a fortnight past -

I am trying desperately to back up one disk of a 4 DVD disk set of the TV series Monk Season 1. I have tried DVD shrink, 1Click DVD and even tried the latest version od DVD decryptor. I have read many of the suggestions here but end up getting either a CRC message or some other reason why it cannot continue after getting about 50% complete. Anyone having the same problem? I would appreciate the help!

 

terpethan

It does seem stupid to have to re-post this for you as it is only the 3rd post up BUT as you cannot be bothered to read the thread you're posting to - here it is just for little ole' you,

They say, "You live and learn."

Well, you've proven to me that laziness has no limits, . . .

 

ive been trying to burn bourne supremacy but when using shrink it stops at like 60% analysing it everytime and when using dvdd either file mode or iso it stops at the same point everytime it wont even read at the same point something about vts 1 vob4 wont read why cant i get this is it my burner or what?

 

Thanks Scuba Pete! You are obviously the expert and that would make "little OL' me" the newbie. Your advice is great and it does help a lot! However, one might think that from your reply you knew that I only spent a few moments looking for a solution to my problem. That would indeed make me one of the lazy ones. In fact I had spent many moments.........some might even say hours trying to correct this problem. The internet is a big place and as luck would have it I found your site quite by luck but after trying many other postings. So if I might make a suggestion Scuba from one who does a lot of teaching of cognitively challenged individuals to another. Take it easy on us newbies if you please! Just like you, we all had to start at the beginning!

Thanks again for the advice and this is a great site!

 

@raiders79

Shrink alone cannot handle this movie, see site on problematic movies

http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48842

Since you are getting CRC with Decrypter, and hope you have the newest version installed, then it is more than likely a bad disk, try cleaning it and if that does not work then take it back and get another original.

 

okay thanks arniebear its probably a bad disk then because i got dvdd 3.5.4.0 and the latest dvd shrink.

 

@terpethan,

Perhaps I was a little course BUT as you see, the answer was just 3 posts on top of your query. You might ask yourself, "Do pple answer the same question over and over ?" "Why yes we do." "Does it bother ?", I try not to let it, and so, I answer the same question, with the exact same answer, forum after forum, thread after thread sometimes page after page (now sometimes that does tweak my toes. When I have to re-post the same answer I just did because the page changed). But when I have to repeat myself every 3 posts . . . . ., there's no one on Earth that has that much patience. For someone who searched the Internet over yet couldn't read the immediate thread he was posting too . . . . well, yes I did jump.

I'm sorry that you felt I jumped too hard and without any cause -If you truly felt I was wrong, that there was no earthly reason for you to read the answer to someone else who had your exact problem, that it couldn't possibly help because it wasn't addressed to you, then I'm sorry . . . .

I shall try to adapt to the notion that answers to others has no learning value at all - Thank you for the insight -

 

I have been able to burn every DVD But 1. That is the one I purchased today Hitch. I have tried everything no luck. Any help out there?

 

@jd_hart

What programs are you using?

 

Hi jd_hart, welcome to aD,

We need a lot more information besides what programs.

1. Your PC specs ?

2. a burn log ~

3. a complete story of what you did, when you got the error,

4. What did the error say ?

5. What media are you using ?

6. Burn settings (speed) ?

7. Do you have current firmware ?

8. A working ASPI layer ?

9. DVD's name ?

10. Is the DVD new or old ?

Information = Solutions

Let's get busy son and supply us with some facts ~

Pete

I had this same problem, but then I downloaded AnyDVD. Then I used DVD shrink and DVD Decryptor. It worked like a charm..

 

I have been having the same problems with DVD shrink. It is the latest version anybody know when a new version is going to be available. I really think that the more recent DVD movies coming out in the last month or two are more advanced not to read from DVD shrink or decryptor. but has anybody found a new program to use just as easy as DVD shrink.

 

DVD Shrink will not be updated, the developer now works for Nero. Shrink is still a good program and will encode and compress any movie. If you are having problems with protection then try trial of AnyDVD and Clone DVD2 from

http://www.slysoft.com

these programs work very well and at this time are the best I know of for breaking encryptions.

There is a new free program that merely rips and this is DVDFabExpress it is also free and available at

http://www.filepedia.com

under rippers.

 

@ papa327,

You are incorrect on 2 points.

1. There have been no new encryptions since Feb. '05.

2. You aren't having the same problem. You may be having trouble with DVD Shrink BUT it is extremely rare to have the same problem and, in your case, impossible. Every PC is different as are the configerations, DVD's, etc.. The original propblem was,

You, on the other hand, are having trouble with many DVD's.

Answer the questions posed in my last post and we'll sea if we can be of some help.

Pete



(if I had just 1 centavo for every person who said, "I'm having the same problem." I could buy aD. Lol)
