has anyone tried to copy the dvds (the grudge, the forgotten, in the bedroom or any other dvd that doesnt copy through DVD shrink?

No you dont, you can make a copy of a copy with your nero disc copier or just use dvd decrypter to read and then to burn it

 

Can i just use DVD decryptor to copy and burn these movies? or does it have to always be transferred to DVD shrink?

 

@korso55,

No, you don't need/have to use the same process after you'd already backed up a copy from the original. By meaning, you can just copy your backed up copied (dvd-r or dvd+r) using DVD Decrypter to:
MODE, ISO, READ R, wait til it's done.
Then use DVD Decrypter again to: MODE, ISO, WRITE.
Sit back, relax and it should be done in 7 - 8 minutes depending on your computer specs.

You can also back up your already backed up copied using NERO to burn on the fly. If you have NERO, just click on the "DVD Tab", "Copy DVD", select your "destination" and "target" (if you have a dvd rom and dvd burner), otherwise, you'll have to use "Nero Recode 2" or "Nero Burning Rom", to "Import DVD or Load your disc image", then burn it to your new copy(new dvd-r/+r blank).

 

Most of the movies korso you have mentioned I have not tried. So I cannot say what is the solution for those movies. Alcohol is right his solution sounds exactly like mine. I have two computers one has DVD43 on it the other doesnt. I dont see any benefit to running DVD43 as they dont solve any problems with bad sectors. They do seem to help with encryptions. Since dvd43 doesnt hurt anything its a good idea to run it. Basically the way I solve the protection issues is to try anyone of 7 different programs and see which one does the best job. To me its just a puzzle to solve.

 

Also, once you run the movie through Shrink and burn it, you will have a already shrunk version on your hard drive ready to burn again with whatever burner you like to use.

True enough but with up to 8gb of space being taken up per movie you cannot keep to many just sitting around. Use it for delete it. Is what I always say.
