DVD Shrink problem

[giggo21]

I've tried to backup DVDs with DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5. It works well for some DVDs, mostly music DVDs, but it won't work for 99% of the movie DVDs.
When I start and click "Open disk", then select the DVD drive and click start, I get this error :

"DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
The error is :

Failed to read from file.

The reason is : (this part is in German in my version) copy protection error. Failed to read from file because sector is crypted"

I'm not a pro in backing up DVDs yet, so don't yell at me if this is a common problem or stupid question. I was browsing through the guides and the articles on the left, but couldn't find an answer.

Can anyone help me ?

Did you try DVD Decrypter to rip to your hard drive first?

This Guide recommends that as well as a link to download. :c) https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/141024.php#dvd9dvdshrink

(just an earlier version of DVDshrink)

Greetings,

For what it worths, I have many foreigner friends (North American Canadian here) that have problems copying DVDs from EU or India. There are many issues with languages, file read error, etc.

Personally, I had a couple of issues with DVDs from France and Great Britain and never with U.S. or Canadian based DVDs. (And it was never due to the region code).

Thank you

I've used DVD Decrypter before but never knew I could combine it with DVDshrink.
