I backed this movie up very easily & on the first try. DVD Fab decrypter along with AnyDVD, then Shrink. No problems.
I just don't get it.... Why doesn't everyone have and use AnyDVD along w/Clone DVD? I haven't had 1 problem with either or any movie. Stop wasting time and get them both.
ponchi1 - AnyDVD is only free for the first 21 days. After the trial is over, you have to pay for it. Many people don't like paying for software, which is why they don't have it.
I've got them & couldn't agree with you more. Others would rather use the free stuff & the cracks to try & back up the latest releases. Copy protection continues to change weekly & that stuff just can't keep up. While others are spending hours & extra steps to back up a movie, we are cranking out perfect back-ups in minutes.
I just picked it up today. With AnyDVD running (that's a given!), I ran it through VOBB to remove those annoying ass FBI warning/commentary disclaimers, plus all those damn trailers Sony puts on their discs, and processed it. You'd be surprised how much those trailers take up! After that successfully finished, I ran it through Shrink to compress. Before unchecking any audio tracks, it was already (I think) 60%. I got rid of the French (obviously) track, and all the commentaries other than the ones with Roth and Tarantino. All told, it was at 70%--which is great. That was successful and then I burned with Decryptor. Perfect, customized, full disc backup
i tried DVDshrink and it would not read Just the main movie, do i need Plug-ins?.. im sorry im new to this , and im Pisse* i can't even back up my own movies!! all i need is the MAIN movie everything else SUX.
@ponchi1, I don't know about everyone else but CloneDVD2 though it works well with AnyDVD, I have run into some strange low compression issues. It manages to back up the movie, but the compression rate was sometimes awful if I were to keep the DVD's extra features or menu. Don't get me wrong, I use it, But it's just not my 1st choice. I prefer to used NERO Recode2 instead. Try it, you might feel the same.
@soko85 You need to run AnyDVD (free for 21 days) in the background with Shrink or rip w/ dvdfab decrypter (free) then open those files in shrink. http://slysoft.com (anydvd) http://dvdidle.com/free.htm (dvdfab decrypter) @N2DVD Recode I agree is better in the quality/compression part but the version I have w/ 6 freezes or throws an error when trying to backup a ARccOS or Ripguard movie even with the latest AnyDVD. So I just used CloneDVD and AnyDVD - movie only preserving the menu and 1 audio - no compression.
@sideways2 See my post above for what to use. This movie has Sony's ARccOS and Puppetlock along with 3 bad sectors. Shrink or 1 click can't do it alone with this protection.
Let me say this to everyone that reads this..... STOP BEING CHEAP and get AnyDVD & CloneDVD. Trust me....its the best $$ you will ever spend. Wanna continue to experience troubles.....continue to be cheap, meanwhile, the rest of us will be issue free and ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT. Back to your regularly scheduled channels.
Hello all i'm alittle new to this forum, but i see there are a few problems with this movie, the one i'm having ( i'm using Shrink and Decrypter) when i import it into Shrink and i try to re-Author( so i can just burn the movie) all i see is the last half of the movie. for example on the navigation side say, main movie 1hr34min once i select that item it changes to 11mins and starts where those kids are beating the crap out of those Thugs. but the beginning is nowhere to be found on the disk.. anyone else run into this? any help would be great thanks
@Minoz Neither shrink or decrypter will handle this one alone. See my above post for links on what will work on this one. @maskeeta That combo worked for me. Are you using the latest AnyDVD 5.9.5.6? What's happening - any errors?
OK I see everyone likes AnyDVD (so do i) but I sed it with Shrink and it would NOT shrink said that Files were NOt aligned. I notced someone said use AnyDVD an Clone DVD. I would be grateful if someone gave me a quick run down of the steps. Thanks
Damn this DVD is brutal for me. I've burned almost 300 DVDs and DVD Shrink alone works 90% of the time. If Shrink failed, I used DVDFab Decrypter and that has worked every single time...until now. I can rip the DVD onto my HD with DVDFab. I can analyze and encode with DVD Shrink. It's just at the final burning stage. DVD Shrink ejects my blank DVD out. So I try Nero Recode which some are suggesting. Same thing - DVD is ejected and it says "power calibration error." Noooooo!...Don't tell me I have to get AnyDVD, lol.
@ReedBurnn Open the Shrinked file in Nero Burning Rom and burn it there. It doesn't need to be recoded!
@garmoon: Can I trouble you for a more detailed instruction about Nero burning rom? Which Nero burning rom option specifically are you using since the files are in VOB format and not image format? I've once tried burning VOB files onto a DVD-RW just by file copying alone and it ended up unreadable. I guess my DVD player didn't recognize it as a legit DVD but just a bunch of files. TIA
@RedBurnn from above I assumed you were using image files created by shrink. Spend the money: AnyDVD will stop the Brutality! And all options are avaiable too.
