    I am getting a message when a movie is about 3/4 of the way through. no movie in particular, every movie. I guess it could be a setting or something like that, just not sure and could use some help.

    The error says.

    DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue
    Out of memory
    Not enough storage is available to process this command.

    The hard drive that I am using for storage has 569 GB of free space available.
    I am running Windows 7 pro. 64 bit,
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black ed. processor with 5 GB of memory on a Biostar TA790GXE motherboard.

    Shrink can't handle the protection. Use AnyDvd or DvdFab

    tnt1125 is correct.
    Try using DVDFab (free) as stated.

    I actually did use dvdfab to rip to a file then when using shrink to compress and convert to iso for burning is when i get the error. I have another vista machine that did the same movie without error, so i am thinking that it is a setting problem that I am missing. thanks for the help.

    Use Anydvd to rip Video DVD to Hard Disk then use DVD Shrink to open the file and copy as normal. Always works for me.

    very simple solution:
    a.) click on "computer"
    b.) right click on the drive you are going to compress the file to.
    c.) click on "properties"
    d.) under the "general" tab find "compress this drive to save disk space".
    e.) remove the checkmark from the box next to compress this drive to save disk space.
    f.) click apply. in the next window that pops up select "drive only". click ok.

    you can select drive and subfolders etc., but you will have to wait for all the files and folders to be uncompressed. the actual time what it displays for the process to occur is not true it drops drastically once it starts. you will not lose much hardrive space at all through the uncompression. This will not uncompress your movies.
    This procedure for some reason gets rid of that error "out of memory". I have a media center with 26 harddrives.

    happy shrinking

    I also use dvdfab to handle to the protection part first then i use dvd shrink to compress the file and encode it.

    I can't imagine that it would, weird. OTOH if you drive were formatted to FAT32 Shrink would automatically bypass the 4 GB limit by splitting the output to mulipart ISO. Have you tried to output to an external disk or network drive to see if this gets rid of this error as well?
