DVDFab Decrypter - Grinding Extremely Slowly??

[daishan]

I'm trying to backup my He-Man Season 1 set and Disc 1 went fine in DVD Shrink, but DRM caused it and DVD Decrypter to not work on Discs 2 & 3.

I downloaded DVDFab Decrypter 2.9.5.2 and Disc 3 ripped a bit slower than either Shrink or Decrypter would've done it, but it worked.

However on Disc 2 it's extremely slow. I'm talking about hours. I let it run when I went to bed and 6 hours later it didn't finish. It was still grinding away and actually working, but at less than a snail's pace.

I had to stop the process and the disc was almost hot from spinning away so long. I know that's not good for either the disc or the drive, so I'm loathe to try it again.

Oh and I also tried AnyDVD with DVD Shrink, and that didn't do squat.

Anyone else have a similar problem, or have heard of this happening?

do you have the latest versions of all the software?

do the discs play OK on your PC?

i'd imagine your drive is getting pretty warm after hours and hours of operation. I wouldn't continue allowing the drive to do this as you will surely reduce it's lifespan.

Yeah I downloaded DVDFab for the first time to use on Disc 2 & 3, so it's the latest.

The discs play fine on my home player. My PC drive has never had a problem like this ever before. I've even DVD Shrink'd stuff after this that didn't choke the program with DRM.

Like I said in my original post, I know it's bad and I'm definitely not going to be doing it again.

I'm surprised AnyDVD didn't help . Maybe you could report it at their forums as they may have a solution or even come up with a fix
