DVD Decrypter (Including Menus)

[BLACKGHOST]

I have been using DVD Decrypter to backup DVDs which sometimes don't read properly through DVDShrink. But I notice then once I have done this and re-encoded through DVDShrink to fit onto 4.7gb that the start menu disappears when playing through a normal DVD player. Can anyone help???

I reckon that during the shrinking process some files are omitted in order that the quality of the main movie can be kept reasonably high. Playing at 85% original, instead of about 65%, say.

If you insist on everything being copied, I hear that you can split the movie onto two discs. I forget the name of the software which does this, but it is readily available through browsing these forums.

I hope that this helps.

dvdshrink can do this also..... splitting dvd 9 to two disks

I recommend reading some tutorials and guides on

www.dvdshrink.info

[BLACKGHOST]

nah dont want to do this. want to keep on one disk but want to retain the menus also. Only use decrypter if dvdshrink has problems.

[BLACKGHOST]

Can someone still help as I want to retain menus on Decrypter but only want to burn onto 4.7gb (one disk)

Perhaps "littlemouse" can satisfy your needs...

funny mate

I've never heard of that problem - are you sure you rip the entire movie in "File Mode" to the HD ?

[BLACKGHOST]

yep sure are. click on vid files to start extracting and then no menus. weird!

[BLACKGHOST]

to Setarip.
On previous posts you have been as i said to littlemouse.
Each time i seem to comment you come back and say something negative. thats all.......

Does the rip work correctly before Shrink ?

Are you using Shrink in Re- Author mode ?
If so it doesn't keep the menus !

There is a new method by the author of dvd shrink tha might help you by removing some xtras and keeping menus to fit on one disc.
Check it out.

Don't Know if this will help..........

Use dvd decrypter to rip the whole film to your pc.

You should have all the menus and the film? If so i sugest you run it through DVD2ONE.

This is what i use and have found it to work great. Get version 1.3

I used to use shrink for all my ripping and converting at the same time but found that many films were coming out with poor results.

Give it a try let me know how you get on.

P.S Use nero to burn DVD

to BlackGhost,
I am using DVD Decrypter and Instant Copy 8 and this seems to be working fine for me. BTW are there any new guides out there using Pinnacle Instant Copy v8. I like the movie only/complete movie choice and also the keep the menu choice.

[BLACKGHOST]

Thanks for the tips guys/girls I will try and work out what to do.

Dear Blackghost,

If DVD Shrink is giving you problems, try using Nero Recode on it. It comes as part of the Nero 6 package, and has a "Fit to Disc" function. Be careful though - you need to change the default profile to "even" to get all the extras, otherwise you run the risk of having alternative soundtracks and/or sub-titles missing.
