I have tried to make a backup copy of Madagascar and an error keeps popping up saying Dvd Shrink encountered a problem and cannot continue. Out of memory. The paging file is too small for this operation to complete. The process I am using for backing up a copy is Shrink then burning with Decrypter. I am also using Anydvd. Can someone tell me what I need to do different.
I can't believe Madagascar is still around here. Madagascar is Macrovision's RipGuard aka b!tch, but it's super easy as smokin'. [/b]Here's what you need to do, and I GUARANTEE YOU that you'll be able to have a successfully working full disc within 45 minutes. **TOOLS NEED: DVDFAB Decrypter or DVD Decrypter (your choice), VobBlanker and Nero Recode 2 or DVD Shrink (your choice). Get free VobBlanker here http://members.aol.com/posunplugged/jsoto/VobBlanker_2010_exe.zip (1) just have either DVD Decrypter to rip via Mode, File F into your hard drive, and wait until it's done, then closed DVD Decrypter. (2) or have DVDFAB Decrypter rip into your hard drive, once DVDFAB Decrypter is done, closed DVDFAB Decrypter. 3) open up VobBlanker, browse to your "input = source" (browse to your VIDEO_TS foler that was ripped by either DVDFAB Decrypter or DVD Decrypter earlier, then set your "output = destination"<--your new folder that you're going to encode with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2. 4) click/highlight VTS_8_VOB and highlight PGC or TTN entry 2 - 5 then Blank them and click on PROCESS. That's it... sit and wait until it's done. Now you can encode/compress it with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 and burn them at your desire burning engine. Enjoyed it and happy burning..!!
A lot of work when the latest version of AnyDVD was updated to decrypt the "Macrovision Ripguard". To make sure you've got a good decrypted file, I suggest ripping to the hard drive. Turn on AnyDVD and then open DVD Decrypter and rip the DVD to the HDD. Decrypter sees the DVD as being encryption free, so the rip to the HDD is quick and easy. The current version of AnyDVD is 5.6.3.1 and should be updated if using an older version. Easy as falling off a log and as fast as normally ripping with Decrypter. Since Shrink doesn't have to do anything but transcode, that process is usually a bit faster with the decrypted HDD file. Getting a clean ripped file is the key step in a good backup. http://www.SlySoft.com/ is where you can get the download for the trial and read a short explanation of how AnyDVD works if you're not familiar with it. DVD43 is a similar freeware, but the functionality isn't as good and it isn't updated as promptly when needed. For DVDs that aren't as troublesome, just having AnyDVD running and using DVD Shrink without ripping to the HDD works well. Shrink sees the DVD as encryption free and goes direct to transcoding the DVD. A bunch of software I use require HDD files, so I've gotten in the habit of ripping all my DVD projects. That way, if something goes wrong, I have the decrypted source to check against.
Thank you everyone for the advice, I will try them. I am also using the updated version of Anydvd. I am backing up Madagascar for a friend of mine to give to her granddaughter for christmas.
So do I need VobBlanker and Nero or VobBlanker and Shrink. Someone please just tell me the easy way to do this ok. I am a dumbie when it comes to computer software. I have always used ScubaPetes guide to ripping and burning with Shrink and Decrypter. Not trying to be mean but alkohol yours seems to be to hard for me, sorry.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/272756#1550134 Guess you missed my post. It doesn't get much more simple than that. If you use the software I suggested and it doesn't work, you can be fairly sure you're having problems with another aspect of the backup.
How do I make a output folder for step 3. I have been at step 3 for 4 hours now and I am ready to start crying.
Try what I suggested and save the tears. If you persist in the endeavor as you've started, maybe alkohol will take the time to lead you through his method. I always figured going through that much trouble wasn't worth it. But then I tend to be on the lazy side. Not really, but I have better things to do, like giving bad advice on the forums. LOL Good luck. Alkohol... I think you're being paged.
This is your original thread/post said. Either one is fine. All I'm doing is trying to get you all the freebie that's all. The choice is yours! My buddy creaky stated that he has successfully ripped MADAGASCAR using DVDFAB Decrypter version 2.9.6.0 and have DVD Shrink does the shrink process as usual. Like brobear said; you can use AnyDVD if you have the latest version (it will work as well). Again, here's what I said. **Tools need: VobBlanker (free) to blank out "bad or protected sectors" http://members.aol.com/posunplugged/jsoto/VobBlanker_2010_exe.zip DVDFAB Decrypter (free) http://69.73.173.59/download/DVDFabDecrypter29.exe DVD Shrink (free) or Nero Recode 2 (your choice, either one is fine - you'll need this to encode/transcode or compress/shrink) It shouldn't take you that long. As far as I remember, it only took me like 10 - 15 minutes to process only. I think you're doing something wrong. OK here's what you need to do: (1) rip the movie using DVDFAB Decrypter into your hard drive. Once it's completed, exit out. (2) open up your hard drive and make a folder name NEW_MADGASCAR, now go inside NEW_MADAGASCAR and make a sub-folder name VIDEO_TS <--yes type EXACTLY like this, then EXIT out from your hard drive. **NOTE: this is your NEW folder that you're going to use with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 (your choice). (3) open up VobBlanker, browse to your "input = source" (browse to your VIDEO_TS foler that was ripped by either DVDFAB Decrypter earlier, then set your "output = destination"<--your new folder that you're going to encode with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2. (4) click/highlight VTS_8_VOB and highlight PGC or TTN entry 2 - 5 then Blank them and click on PROCESS. That's it... sit and wait until it's done. Now you can encode/compress it with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 and burn them at your desire burning engine. Enjoyed it and happy burning..!! I know the method seems a bit hard and confusing, but in reality, it's not. It just a 3 steps that's all. Again, all I'm doing is trying to help those that DON'T HAVE AnyDVD or is having problem with AnyDVD, and or has failed trying other methods basically. However, the choice is yours.
Normally, when one gets a decrypted rip to the hard drive, a tool such as VOBblanker isn't necessary. The problem is getting the successful rip. With any of the decryption tools I've used, and I've tested a bunch, once the decrypted file is available, the transcoding or encoding tools had no problem doing the job. Most burner apps will burn ISO or Files, so no problem there. A limiting factor is the decrypted DVD folder. If done in ISO, not all transcoders will support it, unless loaded in an emulator (like the free DAEMON); DVD Shrink is an exception. The File format (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS) is used by the transcoder and encoder apps I've encountered. Of the many backups I've done, only a couple of projects caused any difficulty and that was a couple of DVDs that were the first of the Arccos encryptions. The rip was successful as was the encoding with RB/CCE. On the burn, CopyToDVD noted a structural error. I tried Nero and the same note was given, but with the option to burn. I burned and the backup was error free. It was a remnant or the decryption. Since then the decryption software has improved and I've not run across a similar problem since. I'll note that RB was in the beta stages at the time, which may have contributed as well. That brings me back to what I've said many times, once you have a successful rip, it usually matters little which transcoding app you use. If it doesn't have a burner, then most any of the burners will work; you're sometimes limited by format. Some of the free burner apps only burn ISO. Nero is free to users if they don't mind downloading the full function trial every month. Good ploy by Nero, many end up getting the retail. The Nero burner is better in that it gives you an option on burning files with questionable structure. When it's of a DVD that played, most often the burn will be successful. At this point I'll point out that DVD Shrink, as part of the transcoding engine, will correct some minor structural errors. If the decrypted file opens and Shrink does the initial scan, then most often you get a successful file, that isn't questionable. Let me just add, not all transcoders and encoders are equal. That's matters of output quality and being able to deal with compression issues. But that's fodder for other threads.
klv Be sure to be using version 5.6.3.1 of AnyDVD. Only the recent version(s) are updated for the "Macrovision Ripguard" used in the encryption of "Madagascar". I've had success without using the transcoder sold by the same company, SlySoft. They claim better success with a combination of AnyDVD and CloneDVD2. As for me, I use other transcoding or encoding apps, but use the AnyDVD for most of my decryption needs.
