i didn't know we couldn't talk about "where we get the dvd's at" sorry, i understand the rules. and sorry about the sports discussion and going off topic.
No harm no foul, but we don't need to know how you acquire you movies. Everyone here know's what their options are for obtaining backups.
@ LOCOENG & RDMERCER1 Sorry guys for "where got dvd..." I should use my head more. Thanks BINKIE7 for advice @ gator & garmmoon...was not meant to get u guys upset. Imagine we are waiting for that CRITICAL info how to rip a DVD, and emails keep popping up, and all we see is some sports discussion..u know what I mean dudes. Thanks! This is a GREAT forum, very informative. I love it.
I ripped Saw 2 with no problem using DVD43 running in the background and DVD Shrink. No problems out of my copy.
I use DVD Fab and Shrink. Saw 2 was a smoothe operation but the 1st saw is giving me troubple. Also "The Man" is not cooperating either. Anyone else have this prob and found a solution? Please post solution. Thank You, Mike
@dryvitguy If your using dvdfab decrypter to rip 1st - it will handle both saw 1 and The Man. Saw 1 has nothing special - can't remember about the man (I used anydvd & clonedvd). What's not cooperating for you? Any error messages? Using the latest version 2.9.7.2? Also try cleaning off these discs.
I have'nt watched it yet, but i did it with shrinks alone. (waiting for wife to get home to watch) so either it is easy or i made yet another coaster.
@247dad The backup copy I watched I did w/ shrink by it's lonesome - decrypter to burn. Playback was fine. Make sure you are using quality media also!
after the man and saw 1 was decrypted to HDD shrink gives me this: DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. invalid data in file "c:\theman\DVD\video_ts\video_ts.vob". I got Saw to burn finally by creating an ISO image the telling shrink to open the image. Have not tried the man again yet, but im sure it will work too.
I ripped and backed up SAW II flawlessly, using my "VobBlanker + DVDFAB Decrypter method". Tested my backup, it worked and played 100%. No black screens, no glithces, no chapters jumping, no misery. No need to "blank out" anything if you don't know how to (i.e. fbi warnings, fake/dummy cells, etc.), just set "INPUT", "OUTPUT" and click PROCESS. That's it... easy as sippin' on some Courvasiour. @whom may concern, Do you need helps? SAW, SAW 2, Bambi 2, LEGEND OF ZORRO, SERENITY, STEALTH, ZATHURA, RENT, DOMINO, PROOF, etc. Do you have "out of memory, uncompresseable, unshrinkable/file is too big, invalid data structure, etc."? "Out of memory" is another crap from RipGuard, "uncompressable" is the latest junk from ARccOS, and "invalid data structure" is some useless craps, dummy cells, fake encrypted sectors, etc. To solve the problem, just follow the 2 following guides and that should take care of all your problems. Here's 2 FREE methods for Newbies only or those that needed and I GUARANTEE that you'll be able to successfully rip and backup any dvds/movies if done right. I've primarily used these 2 methods for ripping and backing up movies and I've never experienced any issues whatsoever.

The choice is yours... If you decided to go with these 2 FREE route, then I strongly recommend you to TURN OFF AnyDVD, DVD43 or any other cracking engines that's running in the background. Best of lucks to all and happy burning!!! Remember, all tools are FREE, except Nero.
I just ripped SAW 2. All I did was use DVD Shrink and Nero to burn. No errors, no problems, just a great copy of the movie...
DVDnuts i would gladly give you the site but i dont think that is allowed and we can't give out our e-mail address so if you can tell me how to get it to you i will surely pass that on your way.
@ LATINLEO @ CAR.MIKE @ GARMOON Thanks guys, but I already got the Old Shrink from Car.Mike Right now, backing up Domino & North country.....NOOOO problem whatsoever, just dvd43 running in the background. Still has to check the burned dvds though. Like Master Alkohol says...don't go the easy way, we might get black screen, freezes..etc.. Keep my fingers crossed. seeya
