I have been using DVD Shrink for a while now. I have only had problems with two dvds HItch and The Punisher. Well today I went to try to copy Chronicles of Narnia, but when I hit Backup is says something along the lines of Cannot read E:/ Copy Protection. Is there a way around this. I use DVD Shrink to copy the complete dvd, extras and all that. I also have DVD Decryptor on my computer, but mostly use it to burn games.
Yeah, Narnia has the RipGuard protection on it. If you don't have AnyDVD, you'll have to rip the disc with DVDFab Decrypter. That should do the trick. If not, try VobBlanker.
Narnia will not back up to file or disc with just Vob Blanker alone (I tried it). As mentioned you will need AnyDVD or DVDfab to successfully back this movie up using what ever combination of programs. I used AnyDVD+Vob Blanker+NERO 6 RECODE2 to successfully back up this flick 67% compression.
use dvd region+css free and shrink dvd at same time, works like a charm, no special tricks. never had a movie i couldn't crack through, ever!
I've always only use DVD Shrink and this was one of my first problems. I think I might of had two others. Downloaded AnyDVD and worked perfectly. I think I had like 71.8% compression
i have been using dvd region + css free for quite some time now and the number of times that it could not handel the ripguard or other things that are put on the disks, is about one in ten that it could not do the job, this program just breeses right through it as long as your version is up to date and it still does up date not like the slysoft any dvd , it is a verry good program also it has it 's good points also like it telles you what it found and report's it while dvd region + css free dose not do that but i am glad to see other users using this program more, keep up the good work
@mojoe If you want no more problems buy AnyDVD it's updated regularly and for life best $34 you'll ever spend on software. type afterdawn in the coupon area to get the price down to 34. There are other free ways tho but this is simplicity. you got it to work in no time.
I agree with garmoon - AnyDVD is worth whatever you spend for it. I paid full ($39.00) price and never looked back.
Besides any dvd,which is not free, there are other decrypters. 1. dvdfab decrypter, free at dvdidle website, under 'free stuff' 2, dvddecrypter, used in conjuntion with pgcedit. Go to digital digest forum to get the installer for these programs dvdfab is easier to use than #2.
Will DVDFab/VOB Blanker/Shrink(A.K.A. the Alkohol method) work for this movie and for King Kong as I'd like to make sure that I can back them up successfully before I buy them. Thanks
Ok, I have DVD Shrink, and DVD43, I tried to backup Narnia, but I get to 6% and it says it can't read something about a cyclic redundancy check??? I am new to this, and am not sure how to use AnyDVD, with Shrink, I have never had this problem before, can someone help me in lamens terms?
hmaurice, I'm not sure if this will help you but I had problems with Narnia which I fixed like this. Using DVDShrink I did the usual quick analyse or what it normally does at the beginning. I had to go with the reauthor mode ie. no menus and extras. Select the main file and choose your sound tracks and subtitles. Right click on the title file (in the main window)to edit the start/end frames. Then select to start at chapter 2. Now backtrack the start frame until you reach the beginning of the walt disney logo animation - don't go too far back. For some reason reading the first part of chapter one was not possible. Now just 'backup' as usual.
hmaurice, DVD43 might not have updated yet to do this movie. You can try the 21 day free trial of AnyDVD as that does work. If you do not want to spend $$ then you have to use DVDFAB Decrypter and rip to HD. That error code either means it can not do the encryptions or the disk has scratches, bad mastering press
DVD Shrink and the latest AnyDVd worked fine.However Shrink compresses it to 55.4% so I used a DL and kept it original. Looks great on my 55' Toshiba.
