dvd shrink 3.2

[dazzz]

im not sure if this is the right forum for this but here goes.when i try to back up a dvd using dvd shrink 3.2 it wont seem to work.it burns but when i try to play it it freezes early on.when i look at the burnt disk it only seems to have i tiny amount burned however the shrink setting is on automatic.i have nero 6 also can this be used to backup orignol copys as i heard it will only copy a copy?

A little history first. DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter are not updated anymore. Therefore to overcome new encryption techniques, they are combined with other programs and become the PgcEdit wizard. (The wizard has yet to fail me with any disk!)
If you only use DVD Shrink to decrypt a disc, the newest encryption stops it very early in the process. I am surprised it even burned at all.
I usually use DVD Decrypter to decrypt to my hard drive.
Depending on the encryption, I either go to the wizard or VobBlanker.
Then I finally go to DVD Shrink to shrink the resulting files.
I use Nero Burning ROM to burn almost all the time with great results.

EDIT: Nero 6 recode will not copy an encrypted disc.

Dazzz,
Welcome to the forum
DvdShrink does the ripping and compressing to the hard drive, Nero and/or other programs do the burning.
Until you get the bugs out of your system I would learn to use shrink first and
save files, not iso's to the hard drive, then verify they play from the computer.

let's look at a nero log tho

the majority of titles still work with shrink alone

GD8ck and chewy are right on the money. i use the wizard 4 sony movies and the rest of the time i use the following: dvd d in file mode, fixvts beta 1,24 (only works with successful rip), dvd shrink, and burn iso with imgburn or dvd d. hope this helps.

Try 4X or 2X if that doesn't work.

Now I am no expert here so don't go completely by me but your firmware, on the page I check on it comes up UYS2. You are also going to have to update your Nero & use better media but the Nero is for another post because you are going to have to make a decision.

Sorry chewy I guess I was editing to long.

I would update nero to this version, but

(Medium in drive: unknown. Medium required by compilation: DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R9 Double Layer.)

might not fix this? However the firmware seems to identify the cmc mag.
That doesn't make it good media tho, often very crappy

[dazzz]

right that first part totaly confused me as im a total novice .also if i go to accessoies/system tools it doesnt have backup on the list.so i try the other part 1st now and let you know how i get on

[dazzz]

ok ive come accross a proble straight away.when trying to alter speed on dvd shrink it only gives me the options of / maxmum or x8 how do i overcome this?

[Gary D]

When going to burn with Shrink, just pick your speed:

[dazzz]

sorry chewy didnt notice your post.ive now updated nero so ill give it a whirl.

[dazzz]

ok couldnt find away to change speed as it wouldn t let me.however since updating nero its worked.the dvd seems fine so hopefully it wasn t just a lucky one off.thanks all for your help especially chewy cheers
