Tried to backup indie movie Robot Stories & keep getting "DVD Shrink3.2 "DVD Shrink encounteredan error & cannot continue. Failed to read "D:/" Incorrect function. [another time it said} Data error." Any help appreciated.
Robot will not compress no matter what you use. Backup movie only and even then you can not get the credits on the disk before running out of space. The movie will end when the little flying robot is above the robots playing the music. The disk will have 4.36 GB on it At least that is the best I could do using-Nero 6.6.0.16/dvd decrypter/dvd43/dvdfab/shrink/1click.
@ Ben2: Have you tried taking out the other languages/dubs (i,e French, Spanish etc.)? Also, try taking out the subtitles, see if that'll free up some space.
In my case I had to leave in the subtitles and Spanish language. I live in Mexico. My wife and daughter do not speak English. Nor do any of her extended family. In others case this would help. It took several hours of trying before I got it to work at all. My usual time in backing up a movie is 40 minutes. What worked was using dvdfab with Nero recode2. Dvddecryipter and Nero recode2 would not work for me.
if you first use dvdfab, then dvdshrink, on a 7.91G dvd movie , does removing the extra languages etc reduce the size to fit on a 4.7 G dvd? & how to remove the subtitles? i thought the 7.91 was dual layer, so how does that go onto a 4.7 G dvd?
nicekid. I think most movies today are the dvd 9 double layer but it is no problem to compress to fit a dvd5 4.7 disk. After decrypting with either descriptor or dvdfab use either nero recode or dvd shrink to compress the movie only. Even with English, Spanish, and subtitles for both, mine are 4.36 to 4.38. 1click will also compress the movie to fit. There really is no problem. Works for me.
