Help Please with DVD Decrypter Error

[golfnut]

I have backed up several of my dvds using the DVD Decrypter/DVD shrink combo and have never had a problem until now. I just burned 3 coasters, 2 with Verbatim discs and 1 with Maxwell so I do not think it is the media. When DVD Decrypter gets about 50-60% thru the burn I get this error message:

"Failed to read from file: DVDVolume.ISO
Reason: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"

I uninstalled decrypter and reinstalled it, same with 3.2 shrink but this did not help. PLEASE HELP ME TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. Thank you very much for your reply.

The original is probably either dirty or scratched or might be both.

Or it could be cheap blank discs.

[golfnut]

gitreel thanks for the reply. Not cheap media, verbatim and maxwell are grade a media, I see no scratches or fingerprints on the original but I will clean it and try once more. Right now I am trying to back up a different original which should tell me more. Any more suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

[gitreel]

No problem

It could even be a mastering error with the original.

Could also be the dvd drive that has problems reading the dvd.Some are better than others for ripping problem dvds.

Thanks guys, maybe the drive, my Pioneer 105 is several years old now, can I get some recommendations from some of you on a new DVD Rom drive, my writer is the Plex 708. Thanks again.

Get a TOSHIBA DVD-ROM's 1712 or 1612. You can find them off EBAY. I've purchased 3 1612's off EBAY with no problems or defects with the drives. Another good DVD-ROM is from LITEON. Get a COMBO CDRW/DVDROM LITEON model SOHC-5232K: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-106-932&depa=1

There are firmware hacks to have the dvdrom rip at faster speeds.

Try ripping from your Plextor. So you can verify the problem is in your ripping before getting into a new DVD-ROM

Try ripping with Decrypter in File mode. Watch trough the process to see if there is any error during the reading.

Mount the .iso image into a virtual drive (Daemon Tools) and watch it in your computer to see if there is an error

Be sure no other program is running when you are burning. Let the computer alone through the process.

the plextor is locked at 2x speed for ripping. unless you use THE DANGEROUS BROTHER'S firmware hack to unlock the speed or use plextors manual that says hold the eject button for a few seconds then it can read the dvd faster than 2x speed.

Are you using DVDShrink with the "Burn with DVDDecrypter" tickbox checked ?

If it is reading from an ISO, doesn't this mean it must have already created the ISO on the Hard Drive and the ISO is possibly fooked/corrupted ?

I would look at defragging your HD and running scandisk or error-checking on it.

We are trying to discover what the problem is. Maybe, and just maybe, the problem is in the DVD-ROM. Maybe it is not. So getting a new DVD-ROM without first veryfying the old one is the problem is no a smart move.

My suggestion is to try ripping with the Plextor to see is the problem dissapears. If so, the problem was the DVD-ROM and you should replace it. But if the problem continues, you have to look elsewere, and you save some bucks

Slight confussion here guys. Isn't cyclic error supposed to crop up on the rip part of the process, and refuse to carry on ripping ? If you have got to the burn part, then doesn't that mean that the rip, and the original dvd are ok ? which means that it is not a decrypter problem ? Personally, I have never found that decrypter can do anything that Shrink cannot do. ie, if Shrink don't rip it, never found that decrypter can.

You must not back very many up then, because i have a bunch that shrink coughed at but decrypter ripped it.

Some burners burn better with +R and some better with -R (I bet you burned with -R). Try a name brand +R. You will probably be surprised with the results. Alternatively, try another burner!

If you read correctly all I said was the Plextor is locked at 2x speed to read dvds. I don't think he wants to rip with the Plextor which will take forever to rip the files if he does not unlock the read speed. If his dvdrom is the culprit then it would not be wasting money to replace it the dvdrom. I don't use my Plextor 708A drive to rip dvds. I use my dvdrom for that task.

Try using a older version of DVD SHRINK and older versio of DECRYPTER.

That is what I was alluding to:

Considering

Failed to read from file: DVDVolume.ISO

Reading from an ISO file means it is past the ripping stage and into the burning stage in my book.

Update - Problem was bad hard drive, replaced with new one and everything works fine now. Thanks for everyone's replies, I really appreciate the help and input.
