I have been trying to rip the series Firefly to my laptop to watch during commutes but I have had difficulties. Disc 3 wouldn't rip in either Decrypter or DVD Shrink. Disc 4 seemed to go fine in Shrink. My friends tried as well and said they both crapped out around 90% into the disc. Not sure what they were using. Suggestions? (is this the best forum for this? didnt seem to fit elsewhere)
Did your friends try the same disk or a different disk? What kind of error are you getting? You could try 21 day trial of AnyDVD and run it in the background using Shrink. Your disk may be dirty try cleaning it.
