Dual Layer to Compressed 4.7 problems

[ViViDboarder]

Hey. I've been trying to back up a disk that is orriginally a dual layer disk onto one single layer. I know about the compression and all.

I made one successful copy single layer to single layer with DVD-Cloner 2 and then tried my dual layer movie. It ran through fine with no errors and then when I put the burned disk back in, my computer will not read it. So then I went through a long time making it a 4gig AVI which got corrupted. So that was no help. As a final resort, I attempted to just go Dual Layer to Single Layer with a different program... Same problem. This time it was with DVD43 Decrypter and InterVideo DVD Copy.

Does anyone know what the problem here is? Any way I can save the disks I used? Or any way I can work around? I can burn from AVI it'd been nice if my rip worked. It was with Super DVD Ripper.

Try ripping with DVD Decrypter and compressing with DVD Shrink.

You are using programs I probably would never use. Do as siggested above. You might even get away with using only DVDshrink to rip and compress. If the movie is a recent release, save yourself some time and agrevation and run the very latest AnyDVD in the background to defeats all sorts of new protections.

To me the most fool proof method, ( I get 100% results ) is DVDshrink / AnyDVD to ISO to be burned with DVD Decrypter. You can set all this within DVDShrink so once the ISO is created it activates Decrypter and burns the disc unattended. Of course, you need a read and a write drive (2).
