Used DVD Decrypter (rip and burn) and DVD Shrink (transcoding) combo to back up Spiderman 2 and was 98% successful. Only thing that didn't work was subtitles. Did the above again and am now at DVD Shrink final page. Ticked all "English" Subpicture options which I DIDN'T do the first time so that should help (right?). However, two differnt DVD Shrink Edit/Preferences guides offer different thoughts on:
PREFERENCES
"Hide audio and subpicture streams of insignificant size"
PREVIEW
"Select DirectX video renderer" VMR-9 or System Default Renderer (note: used default and worked fine)
STREAM SELECTIONS
"Audio language and coding type" English. AC3 or AC3 or LPCM
"Disable all subpicture except menus and forced streams"
FILE I/O
"Read 32KB blocks (default is 64kb).
