DVD Shrink gets about 12% into the rip and it stops with this error... Data error (cyclic redundancy check) Thanks for any help!
any tips on dvd decrypter...i dont want to lose any quality on the rip...will default settings be ok? i have never used decrypter...thanks!
I don't think that decrypter will hurt your quality during the rip. The program that you use to compress to DVD5 and the amount of compression is where you lose quality. That being said, I have used shrink and cloneDVD with compression rates as low as 47% and not seen any perceptable degradation of quality on my TV's. (I don't have HD though)! And my eyes are not what they used to be when I was 20 either LOL, (old fart, here)LOL, just ask my wife.
DVD Decrypter is very easy to use. Just open it up and go to Mode->File like this: Click on the big green Decrypt button and wait for your movie to be backed up to your hard drive. Also make sure you remember where you saved the file, you'll need it later when you open DVD Shrink.

I agree Decrypter probably won't handle the new DRM on Hitch but DVDFab or AnyDVD will. If you want the best quality possible then rip the DVD with CloneDVD2, by Elaborate Bites (not the other Clone), or DVDFab Express and rip with settings above DVD9 so there is no compression to the hard drive. Then use DVD Rebuilder with ProCoder2 or CCE, ProCoder2 being the best, to transcode to DVD5. This will take a long time possibly 6 to 12 hours to rebuild but will be your best method for compression. I think you can still donate as little as $10 for the pro version of Rebuilder which is well worth the money and will give you life time updates. If you’re going to use just one package DVDFab does a better job of compression and compatability but CloneDVD2 gives you more flexibility in removal of unwanted components. DVDFab Decrypter is the new DVD Decrypter and you could use that as well it is free and is just like DVDFab Express. As a side note if you backup a ripped backup DVDR use your burner to copy it to your hard drive and burn it from there this will keep your CRC errors down or eliminate them. The CRC errors you have encountered from the original are copy protection not media issues.
Thanks for all the replys I appreciate it very much... I used DVD Decrypter @ stock settings to rip it to my drive, then DVD Shrink to compress it after removing all the extras I got it to 92%, then I used Roxio Easy Media Creator to burn it, and it came out great! Plays like the original DVD on my 46'' Sony HD...
I've been having the same cyclic redundancy problem with House of Flying Daggers I'm a newbie here but I figured it would be ok to post here I ran it through dvd decrypter but it was in ISO mode After that I tried to open the file with DVD Shrink but I could not find it What is the difference between ISO mode and File mode? -soup-
it's the new sony arccos puppetlock protection make sure ur dvd-rom or whatever rom u're using to read the dvd have the latest firmware. use anydvd or dvd fab decryter should do the job most of the new sony columbia dvds have this protection.
Really, a firmware update will get past the copy protection?? The firmware on my DVD-ROM is so old, but I cannot find any firmware for it. My DVDRW drive is current, but I never use it for Ripping. If you are interested, I posted a guide on the following Thread that shows how to get past the newer Sony Protection using DVD Decrypter without the aid of a PSL or AnyDVD; http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/255980 So far it worked for Bewitched and seems to be working for Stealth. There is no reason that it will not work for all other movies (at least it should be good until Sony improves the way it implements the protection).
soupnazi, All I have to say is [bold]No Soup For You!!![/bold] JK.... ISO mode creates an image. All that is contained in the image is the VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folders and their contents. In file mode you are direct copying file for file to your hard disk the contents of those folders. File mode is better if you want to edit the DVD and ISO is supreme for smaller discs that will require no further editing or compression.
Hey Jag, when you gonna have this in PDF for a printable version? Great guide. I'm gonna have to get IFOedit. Morning LOCOENG
