That is an odd one. Try making the output with Shrink an ISO file. Maybe you will need Decrypter to burn. I never tried burning these movies with Nero. I always made an ISO. Also, sometimes if you mess around too much with an IFO Nero will have problems. I remembered I Authored a DVD that had tons of Commands and Nero, Shrink, & Clone DVD gave me errors. However, Nero Recode worked. That was really weird because the movie was never encrypted since the source was avi files that I encoded myself to .m2v & .ac3. Also, make sure you "Get VTS Sectors" every time you change something.
Jgould2, Load the Main movie IFO in IFO Edit, it should show you the chapter/cell Information. Then press the "copy2clipboard" button. Paste the text in a post. Do this for the original IFO. Also, is this DVD both Widescreen and Full-Screen? If so, make sure you blank out the VTS that has the aspect you do not want. Also post VIDEO_TS.IFO so that I can see the Titles played.
Before you go and but AnyDVD & CloneDVD2, since you have 99% of the movie done, try this: You said you deleted VTS_16, but maybe that is part of the movie, but has ARccOS protection on it. Rip VTS_16_0.xxx, meaning the ifo, bup, and menu (VTS_16_0.VOB). Then run it through VobBlanker again and blank out VTS_16. This will create a new VTS_16_1.VOB. If this does not work, then you will probably have to go with AnyDVD, as I will most likely not look at the movie personally, and I do not know anyone that is going to buy it or even rent it. I am pretty sure your error is with Nero and not with Shrink. Usually if Shrink can process something (quick analysis), it is burnable, but it is better to create an ISO Image and burn a movie with Decrypter. Another way to make an image is to load the movie in IFOEdit and click on "Disc Image". Use this only if the movie plays back in IFOEdit or something like Nero Showtime. The only drawback of AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 is that you cannot customize compression, so VobBlanker is a must for movies with a lot of garbage. AnyDVD seems to not like this movie and gives errors in Shrink as well. Perhaps there will be an update to the program soon though.
AnyDVD update, don't know if it works for this movie but you can try it http://sandbox.slysoft.com/SetupAnyDVD5521.exe
i've got a different problem... i was able to get the files onto my harddrive using dvdfab... however, my goal is to convert to mp4 for my ipod... dvdfab spit out the movie to 4 different .vob files... how do i put them together so i have one big .vob file so then i can proceed to convert to mp4...? thanks in advance...
A.) Stealth can be ripped to the hard drive using either of the two following methods (both of which use FREE applications: 1. Use DVDFab Decrypter, or 2. DVD decrypter, with use of applicable PSL2 file (for region 1, Stealth widescreen PSL@2file, go to: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=57354 B.) Once you get ripped to hard drive, use DVD Shrink (or Nero Recode) to compress/reauthor; C.Burn using DVD DEcrypter (or Nero). (Note: Nero products are not free.) Hope this helps.
I used DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD also AnyDVD with CloneDVD and there were no problems doing this movie.
Arnie, Do you think I can use Shrink after using Decrypter and Anydvd or do I need Clone dvd to compress it. Looks like I have to buy Anydvd for Stealth and Madagascar, but don't want to buy Clone if I don't have to.
I used Nero Recode to compress the movie only and had no problem, since Shrink is by the same developer it should work out. Buying AnyDVD is money well spent it has been working with everything, and the updates have been really fast. Use the AD discount.
Thanks! You mean buy the bundled set with Clone for $78? This will be the first time I have to spend money to decrypt and burn. I hope it's it's worth it like you said!
No you can buy individually AnyDVD should be 40.00 and if you use the AfterDawn name in the coupon code you should get 10.00 off. If you buy AnyDVD and CloneDVD together with the 10 buck off it should come to 50.00. The bundled set you looked at for that price included CloneCD, you do not need that as AnyDVD will break CD protection and you can then rip protected CD's. Edit: Just uncheck the box on slysoft for the product you do not want when the screen comes up.
This works just did it!!!!!! finally someone on this webcite that knows what he talking about thanks wolv3rin3!!!!! Sucessful backup of Stealth. First allow the AnyDVD 5.5.1.1 to run by itself this will assist in the protection removal. Then run DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD in the background. Remember you need to go to (tools>settings>I/O>in the interface area click on ElbyCDIO - Elaborate Bytes> you should select all files because if you don't DVD Shrink 3.2 won't identify correctly. Now run in (File F) mode. It will backup a crisp replica of the movie. Cheers-Shout out to Sting3r-wolv3r1n3
Just downloaded ANYDVD and ran it. Kept the set up in the defauly mode. Shrink is finally backing Madagascar up as I write this. It's a happy day! Thanks arniebear!
I am very impressed with the response that slysoft is providing to their product concerning updates. Great job James.
Was able to use shrink while using anydvd in the background and back up successfully the movie only on Madagascar. Tried doing the whole disc, but get a cyllic redundancy error close to the end of a full back up with shrink. Whats the problem and how can I back up the whole disc without a problem?
anydvd won't work alone, I used DVDfab decrypter and then 1click dvd copy and the movie played fine....
