Ok, so recently i ripped Hostage with DVD decrypter, encoded it with dvd shrink(dvd9btw) then burned it to a dl dvd with decrypter all this time with no errors. When i try to play hostage after the little opening miramax thing when it tries to go to menu it just freezes, not even letting me turn the dvd player off(had to unplug it). Anyways, i've burned another dvd to dl(assault on precinct 13) on the same media and it was perfectly fine. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
if why did you need dvd shrink if you were going dvd9 to dual layer? you dont need compression! dvd decrypter on default settings makes an iso (in iso mode) and an mds file, the mds file carries the layer break info, as to make a better one to one copy!
I have no idea, that was kind of dumb. Is there any way i can make my file's i ripped from dvd decrypter into a .iso with dvd decrypter? I borrowed out hostage to a friend.
ahh, alright, well do u think this would work fine if i just burned the movie with no menu's to a dvd9?
hi yes try main movie only useing dvd shrink to grab it from your files, also use a dvdr not a dual layer disc! they cost loads...
i can only get like 70% quality on dvd5, so i'm usin dvd9, it doesnt matter though, hostage is worth it.
What kind of blank DVD+R DL are you using? I hope it's not Memorex. I'm not a big fan of any Memorex products - nearly 95% of Memorex are known to be crap media only. I would highly recommended the Verbatim DVD+R DL, if you're thinking about the DVD9 back up again. Here is a simple and basic steps to back up using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink on a DVD5 disc(single layer), assuming you already have the latest from Decrypter & Shrink: ** put blank dvd (please use good media such as Fuji, Maxell and Sony) in dvd burner ** put original dvd in dvd rom ** open up your c: drive or hard drive, go to NEW, Folder, name it NEWHOSTAGEBACKUP or anything you want, then hit [enter] to save it ** open up DVD Decrypter, MODE, ISO, READ R ** choose your SOURCE <-- your dvd rom with Original movie ** choose your Destination <-- browse to your hard drive with your newly created folder earlier; example:NEWHOSTAGEBACKUP, then click on OPEN, and SAVE ** now click on DECRYPT, wait until it's completed, and closed DVD Decrypter (this takes about 15 - 20 mins or depending on your computer specs) ** open up DVD Shrink, go to FILE, Open Disc Image, and browse to your ISO you created with DVD Decrypter(NEWHOSTAGEBACKUP) in your hard drive, and OPEN it ** Shrink should do a quick Analysis now.... wait until it's completed ** Note: if you want super quality and just the main movie only without the extras and menu, then you can click on "Re-author" mode, click on "main title 1" on drag it to drop it under the "DVD Structure", then click on BACKUP, and OK ** Note: if you want "Full Disc Backup" with better quality, then you should set it on the "quality settings" to your desire ** click on BACKUP, on TARGET DEVICE, select Backup Target to: ISO Image File and Burn with DVD Decrypter, and on "select target image file": browse to your folder earlier you created. ** now hit OK, sit back and relax, DVD Shrink will do the encoding, wait until it's completed (this takes anywhere from 20 - 35 mins depending on your computer specs) ** once Shrink is done, it should automatically back up with DVD Decrypter. That's it.... wait for Decrypter to finish the back up process and you're done(this takes about 7 - 10 mins depending on your computer specs). Hope this help you a little. Have fun burning!!!
