I followed a nice tutorial by ScubaPete on how2 use shrink and decrypter. (use decrypter to trans to hd; shrink to select files; burn with shrink; shrink uses nero to burn). I've tried it twice on the same video_ts files and shrink starts to burn (I assume using nero) and stops at exactly 1%. No error messages are given. But it does appear to be locked up. I let it run overnight for 8 hours. Still 1%. My system (win98se; athlon 750; 20g/120g hd; dvdrom;dvd burner) might be kind of slow. Is there an alternative method I should try? My version of Nero is 6.0, both other progs are most recent versions. Thanks in advance... Art
1. Rip to your hard drive with the latest DVD Decrypter. 2. Use DVD Shrink to encode and shrink and Backup to an iso image file on your hard drive. 3.Then use DVD Decrypter again in File--ISO Write mode to burn the Shrink-created iso image file using a speed of 4x or slower. Don't use DVD Shrink to do the burn. See if this solves your problem.
Two things may help: a) high quality media With DVD media, you pretty much get what you pay for. Check out this forum for help on what media to use: http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/47 b) more RAM Depending on how much you have, and assuming you can't afford more drastic computer upgrades at the moment. I have 512MB, some people recommend at least 1GB.
sounds like DMA, well that's a start anyway - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/DMA.html Also, how much RAM do you have ? Any reason you use Shrink to burn (it's using your Nero install anyway, why not turn off the auto burn, then each time you Shrink a move you can manually do the burn in Nero by drag/drop. That's what i do and i do lots of burning and it's no hassle. Maybe Shrink is burning too close to edge of disc - - set the target size to 4300MB as it sacrifices hardly any space.

Here's what mine shows -
