I want to backup my video dvd on dvd-r. i use dvd shrink for it. every thing was cool. but when i watch the movie, my player can't read the last third of the dvd. i don't understand because i click on "remove macrovision protection".

Thank's for help me.

Hello,
I’ve shrinked a dvd and my PC can read the *.vob files but when I burn them on dvd with nero like video dvd, my PC or my Player can’t read the 2 or 3 last chapter of the movie. What’s the problem? Baldrick say that it was my media. But I’ve got shrinked dvd which work.

Thank's

Well, then you may want to give DVD Fab Decrypter a try.

Long time no see Gollum88. Glad to see you still found your topic from last year and continued to post in that rather than starting a new one.

You may want to try and shrink the DVD manually and allow for some blank space at the end. Shrinking movies can always produce some interesting results if you shrink the movie too much (below 75%) or you shrink the movie and burn the maximum possible capacity. I usually recommend if you have to shrink much more than 85% that you do not shrink and instead backup to a dual layer disc. These discs have come down considerably in price and are readily available in most places where you'd purchase blank media. By not shrinking you will be preserving the original quality which in most cases is the purpose for backing up media.
