Well do this .. in this order: 1) update your aspi layer to v1.8 if you haven't done so already: http://wombleintheuk.tripod.com/Final/ForceASPI/ForceASPI.htm 2) Uninstall your burner, reboot and let XP install it again 3) Then try using the combination of Shrink w/ Decrypter So using DVD Shrink w/ DVD Decrypter: 1) Open Shrink, open disc 2) Click "backup!" 3) Change target destination to "ISO Image File", and check the box to Launch DVD Decrypter 4) Click ok This will see if your burner is able to burn dvd's.
sorry it took so long to get back to you. when I tried the shrikn with dycryptor this is the message I got after a few seconds. I/O Error! Device: [1:0:0] HP DVD Writer 400c alt14 (E ScsiStatus: 0x02 interpretation" check condition CDBL 2a 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 interpretation: write (10) sectors: 0-15 sense area 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 interpretation: write error does this mean its my dvd writer and not the program. its fairly new, bought it in Feburary. after I changed to ISO files on shrink, i clicked backup. it backed up my files. then I went to where they were saved and clicked on them. that opened the decrypter and then clicked the picture that showed it being burned on the dics. it started everything but when it said writing is when I got the error message above. Can you figure this out? I am lost. thanks
im not sure but when I go to properties and click on teh iso file it says 4,335,407,104 bytes. and time says 470:37:09. I know that is too big. when shrinking the dvd, how do you get it smaller. BOth movies I tried to copy are both large like this. Right now I am using liquid vision dvd+r but have used TDK, Memorex, imation and some others in the past.
To make a backup of movies this is the simplest way: Download & install DVD Shrink 3.1.7 Put in the movie and open DVD Shrink, select the drive and let the program analyze the movie. Once this is done you should have the green bar on the program all green and no red, if you have red then you need to "shrink" the movie so it fits. Here is a link to a tutorial on how to do this: http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/23_1.html Don't use DVD Decryptor or anything else... the tutorial is pretty good for all versions of DVD Shrink. Once you have the movie ready to burn on DVD then click on burn and in the options select to create an ISO and select the folder you want it to go. Once the program is done, burn the ISO with a program like Nero, Easy Cd Creator, Record Now ect... and it should work perfect. I have burned over 200 movies like this so I know it works.
Why not? @siberian, Are you checking or unchecking any audio selections? Some will check all audio(AC3 & DTS), and this will cause the file to be too big. I want you to try two things: 1) Open shrink, click edit then preferences. Change the target size to custom and enter 4300 ... and click ok. 2) Try using Verbatim branded disks ... I like the 2.4x [bold]And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about XCopy[/bold]
