Shoot Em Up + 3:10 to Yuma

agreed

 

Yeah Imation is CRAP. Verbatim is definitely the way to go. I haven't used an Imation DVD ever. I think the last Imation disc I used was a cd-r in 2001 or 2002.

I know that Imation is a little cheaper, but words of advice... you get what you pay for. ; )

Hope that helps!

Cheers!

 

Imation does like other brands and bid out different lots to different manufacturers. Memorex wasn't always memosux. I'll have to say it's not as safe buying media from brands that use different suppliers and not all of them good quality. In the past I used to get Ricohjpn media when I purchased Imation. I got the same with Memorex. I was looking for some dodgy media and thought I'd pick up some Memorex as a test. My bad, it turned out to be Ricoh (the good stuff). What I'm getting at is you can't call a DVD bad just by brand name. You need to run a check to see where it was manufactured. Try using DVD Identifier and let us know who manufactured the questionable disc.

 

I used DVDFAB HD Decrypter 4 to copy the movie to a file and then used DVDFAB Platinum 4 to burn, works fine on 3:10 to yuma, shoot em up and boogieman 2. Full DVD. For some reason the platinum wasen't working on these movies. I have the paid updated versions.

 

Hello all. Before asking for more help, I read a number of this forum threads and various links and came away feeling like a T-ball hitter looking at a major league pitch coming across the plate. As a RI4M user I hit the wall with Shoot 'em Up and Rush 3. No prob with 3:10 to Yuma. Having been a happy DVDDC/Shrink/Nero user in previous years, RI4M(using ImgBurn)proved to make me even happier, albeit, spoiled to a simplicity. It was also cost effective...free. As my daddy used to say, there is price to pay for everything. Although HiDef is not a current concern(I now have a 1080p LCD HDTV),eventually I want to prepare for further changes from Sony and possibily [the] others, and also be prepared complete the transition to HD. Is DvdFabHDDecrypter 4.0.5.5 the same one mentioned in iluvendo's 2Jan2008. Although I like to "peak and tweak" and fiddle with things, what will can I use that won't cost me any more time, pre-RI4M? Will I get the best bang for my buck if I have to go for the Platinum version over DVDFHDD? Will DVDRebuilder have to be used with either or both versions. Will I be using DVDFHDD in place of DVDDC, and while continuing to use Shrink and IMGBurn? Is the info on shutting off Auto Start still current and valid? Whatever input/direction you can give me will also be forwarded to a RI4M user who does not have current on line access. My apologies for the length and many thanks for any help you can give.

 

If you're preparing to go into HD burns in the future, then buy the programs DVD Fab(Editlatinum), AnyDVD and CloneDVD. Money must not be a problem cause those blank HD discs and the HD burner are gonna cost you a fortune anyway! If they ever decide who wins. You can do any movie with the 3 above paid for and the other free programs.LOL

 

For those ripping with DVDFab HD and then using DVDFab Platinum, I have one question. Why? DVDFab HD consists of part of the decryption program included in the retail DVDFab Platinum. In other words you have the full function version of the decryption program included in Platinum (DVDFab HD only rips Full DVD or Main Movie). Notice DVDFab HD gets updated the same time as the Platinum. If you own DVDFab Platinum, there's no need for DVDFab HD. If anyone wants a complete one click program, DVDFab Platinum is the best going.

It looks like it will still be a while before you need the HD software. Current cost of recordable media is close to the cost of a new DVD. It's just as economical to buy 2 copies of a movie as one and try to back it up. Besides the high cost media (think what one coaster would cost) there is the astronomical costs for hardware. Until the prices come down for both media and drives, HD is the last thing on my "to get" list. Just think, most of us are still complaining about the high cost of DL media. LOL Currently the 2 highest profile programs addressing HD come from DVDIdle and Slysoft. I've already got the DVDFab Platinum and AnyDVD, so I'll wait to see what the future brings without rushing out to buy more software.

 

PacMan777,
Notice DVDFab HD gets updated the same time as the Platinum. If you own DVDFab Platinum, there's no need for DVDFab HD.

That's if DVDFab platinum isn't ill-gotten . DVDFab HD Decrypter has regular updates; DVDFab Platinum, on the other hand, if acquired illegally cannot be updated.

 

@pryme_H

And that's the way it should be. If some people weren't paying for these inexpensive programs then the ones using them illegally would not have them either.

 

I concur! There are lots of members here seeking help about faulty programs. And of course, there'll be no way of validating if the program was acquired legally or otherwise. Unless, the beans are spilled by the original poster.

 

lol guys sometimes i feel like were helping people to become a better pirate !

 

im only able to burn 3:10, Shoot, Saw 4, Good Luck Chuck, etc. with DVD FAB HD and it only burns in DVD 9 format which results the movie being 73-7900 MB. too large for a dvd. Ive tried compressing it with DVD Shrink, i've used RI4M but always get constant errors, i've tried DVD FAB Platinum but it won't even finish analyzing the dvd without constant errors, i tried all programs with AnyDVD running in the background, and without. it just doesnt work. Saw 4 doesn't backup at all, i can't get any program to even analyze the dvd, the closest was RI4M but after it loaded the dvd in 1-click mode, when i click continue it just locks up and crashes. i'll edit this post later with all the logs.

So far Fab HD works on most of them, just as i said tho it only works in DVD 9 so i need a ripper that either can normal rip the files or a tool to compress them to fit on a single DVD.

if anyone could just list a bunch of programs with links to how to use them i would be grateful. sorry if anyone has already listed them in various posts, but theres alot of people here just yelling nonsense sometimes and too many posts to read ha.

(btw, i just read a post that said Fab Plat and FAB HD were the same program. ha i didnt know. i only have a trial of Fab Plat but so far it hasn't pursuaded me to purchase the complete thing. are there more features when you buy it?)

you will need the latest versions of anydvd which you can get here

http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html

and a guide to use it with clonedvd 2

http://club.cdfreaks.com/f72/clonedvd-anydvd-guide-madbob-72022/

or the latest version of dvdfab decrypter

http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm

so rip with dvdfab decrypter then run the file though fixvts transcode with dvd shrink and burn. fixvts will correct the flie so dvd shrink can transcode it to a dvd-5 blank. doing the movie only solves alot of problems too!! if all this doesn't work then you have a optical drive problem in which case your drive just won't read the dvd. can you try another drive?. heres a guide to use dvdfab decrypter ,shrink fixvts

Ripper decryption programs are made to rip in DVD9 format intentionally so there won't be compression. Once you get the files cleaned up, there are a lot of programs to shrink the files to fit a DVD5. As long as your compilation is compliant, any of a number of programs will burn the DVD for you. You can choose freeware or indulge in some of the retail programs. If you want free, DVDFab HD Decrypter to clean up the decryption and copy protection, DVD Shrink to transcode (shrink to DVD5), and ImgBurn to burn the output. You're not going to do a lot better with the retail apps. Some may have an easier interface and be faster, but the end product won't be noticably better, if you use the software correctly. That's for transcoders. Encoders are better, especially for high compression copies.

pryme_H
Garmoon is right and I'm not going to try to help anyone be a better pirate. Legal copies of Platinum get their updates the same time DVDFab HD is updated. The software for HD is derived from Platinum was the point I was trying to make. That's why the freebie is updated the same time as the retail making for great support for a freeware program. Anyone that's gotten used to HD has an insight into what a bargain Platinum is with the all inclusive program. I suspect that's why DVDIdle gives DVDFab HD away, to get prospective customers interested in the retail version. They got my attention.

 

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I used the guide provided by 'bbmayo' and followed the steps as suggested. For some reason when I click the backup icon in DVD shrink after following all the steps in the guide, I get this message.

"DVD shrink encountered an error and cannot continue

Out of memory

Not enough storage is available to process this command"

I tried 3 times with the same error. I am pretty sure I am missing some setting etc. My OS is Vista with 160GB HD & 3GB of RAM available and no other program was running at the time.

I downloaded all the softwares within the last week. (Yes I am a newbie & promise not to bug you guys too much)
I followed these steps in order => DVD Decrypter + fixvts + dvd shrink + imgburn (have not had a chance to use it yet).

Thanks for any help in advance....

 

Each time the error happens at 45% completion....

 

dvdfab decrypter is what you want to use NOT dvd decrypter, follow this guide

dvdfab decrypter to rip fixvts to clean the file, transcode with dvd shrink then nero, imgburn or dvd decrypter to burn.

I am sorry I was no clear on that, I did use DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.
I am also doing just the movie, not the whole dvd.

 

I am trying to copy WAR, no probs with the DVDFab Decrypter just dvd shrink seems to stop at 45 or 46 % completion....same error message.

I have used the guide to copy Provoked a couple of days ago. I used roxio to burn it though, otherwise rest of the steps were the same....please help

 

after you rip with dvdfab decrypter are you using fixvts?
