I kept getting this error message whenever I tried to burn The Big Lebowski. I was told it was b/c the disk was old, scratched and dirty. I just tried to burn The Inside Man and the message came up again. The DVD is pretty new and doesnt have any scratches. Why do I keep getting this message and is there a way to fix it? I am using the latest version of DVD Shrink 3.2. Any suggestions will help.
I'm not 100% sure what you are saying. You are trying to burn a movie from the HD using shrink or are you trying to shrink a movie to the HD? More information will help. Tell me what steps you are taking before you try to burn. Did you try a program called FixVTS? A little more information and I can help you solve the problem.
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. failed to read file x:\ data error cyclic redundancy Data error Possible causes (some you've been told of already): The disk is either badly scratched, diry/smudged in areas where info can't be read correctly, a bad press (digitally faulty), [bold]or copy protection shrink can't handle because of its discontinued support/advancement.[/bold] NOTE:There could also be a slight chance that your optical drive may be tiring, if it's happening with all attempted backups, a new drive maybe the solution. You say that the disk is new and looks clean, so: You could have a possible bad press, if so then you'll need to exchange it for another and try it again. [bold]If it's copy protection that's causing shrink to spit out the error... then try any one of these options:[/bold] 1) DVDfab decrypter, it's a very good and supported free whole movie ripper/decrypter. Use it to rip the video files to your HDD, open the files ripped using shrink and proceed as you normally would. DVDFab http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm 2) Ripit4me, it takes the ripping/transcoding/and burning process and makes it a one click task. You'll need DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, and FixVTS to make it all work. Ripit4me http://www.ripit4me.org/ 3) Download and install the trial version of AnyDVD. Once installed, run DVD dhrink as you normally would to produce a backup, AnyDVD runs in the backround to crack the copy protection on the disk. anydvd http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html
