I ended up using DVDDecrypter to extract it and then DVDShrink to shrink it and burn it. I guess I'll just have to keep using DVDDecrypter though to extract. Not sure why I got that error?

I read on one of the guides somewhere that (paraphrasing now) once in a while you will run across discs with copy protection that isn't removed automatically with DVD Shrink. They recommended using DVD Decrypter first on these discs.
But of course that should happen very rarely. I haven't seen it yet myself, but I've only backed up about 8 discs.

Can you delete extras that you don't want with this program? If so, is it hard to do?

Thanks for the advice. I am going to give it a shot and see how it goes.Originally posted by: XtremistI used to use the same setup actually, up until about 6-8 weeks ago in fact! I did a few with DVD Shrink "only", but then I switched back to using DVD Decrypter to dump all of the movies I want to do for a day onto a drive. Then I'll go back and use the Open File option in DVD Shrink. I know it's an extra step, I just feel DVD Decrypter is such a stable and versatile app, I'd rather deal with the more advanced stuff like re-encoding/authoring with data that's already on a hard disk... I seriously am/was just like you until a few months ago. Now I've replaced DVD2One with DVD Shrink and I don't intend on going back. You should give it a try... [EDIT]Like you, quality was my biggest concern, and while using 3.0beta, they look just fine (depending on what I choose to keep of course). And you can't beat the price so you might as well try it out![/EDIT]Originally posted by: Atrac I use DVDDecrypter and DVD2One religiously. I rarely hear of anyone that uses them. I think the combination of programs produces an awesome result. Is DVDShrink better???

UGH! I still can't get this thing to work on my system. The installer with 3.1.1 will install the program, but the program still won't run.
I can't find the specific requirements to run this app, but I know it uses DirectX. Does anybody know what version it requires? Maybe I need to get a newer DirectX version

Thanks op. I use Xcopy platinum, but I find that message at the begginin of the back up pretty annoying. I will give this software a try, alon with nero.
