X2: X MEN

[nanz1]

I 'm trying to backup this dvd and have tried using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter and have had no luck. It starts to rip and will stop after awhile Anyone else have this problem?

[Colindale]

Yes, but only with scratched or dirty DVD's.

[nanz1]

It tells me it is copy protected and stops on DVD Shrink as well as DVD Decrypter.

[nanz1]

I forgot to say that it is brand new and plays fine on my tabletop dvd player.

I just backed mine up using DVD Decrypter and DVD2One without any problem. No idea what it could be.

One of the common "fixes" for something like this is to start playing the DVD in a software DVD player, then while playing go into Shrink, close the player down, then try ripping. If that doesn't work try using DVDDecrypter or Smartripper.

I just backed up X2 using DVD Decryptor and Instantcopy with no problems.

[nanz1]

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Personally I use IC7. It does a better job. I find the VOB files are sometimes out of wack when you use DVD Shrink. When I use Nero or record now max the movie stops. I most recently used IC7 to burn the file to dvd, (VIDEO_TS). The end result was I had a more stable disc and it was more compatible then using the other programs to burn it. It works good after you do a master disc of HOME movies in this way and use record now max to make duplicates.

Hope this help a newbie, been there before.

Ripped with DVD Decryptor and Shrank with DVD Shrink and it works without a hic cup

No problem on my backup using DVDShrink.

What are the benefits of ripping with DVD Decrypter and then Shrinking? Why not just use Shrink to rip/shrink at the same time?

Also, when you rip with Decrypter with the intent of burning with a non-image burning app, you have to go in IFO mode instead of ISO, right?

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity I ripped xmen 2 with both shrink and decrpyter and both ripped just fine, so i dunno. On the subject of xmen2, would it be harmfull to scan the dvd? I have a bunch of custom labels but I want the same exact one but really squeamish about putting my new dvd on the scanner. Cant find any real scans of the origonal, so this is my only option for the same label. Anywayz, laterzzzzz

[Gazorgan]

DVDShrink doesn't read IFO rips.

It does read file-mode rips. Go figure?

What is DVDDecryptor really used for? Probably for Netflix so you can send them out the same day without having to spend the transcoding time.

I scan a lot of DVD labels. Doesn't damage it at all. Just a few tips though:

Take a CD Sleeve, then put the data side down towards the sleeve, then put the label side down towards the scanning sider of your scanner, and scan.

aviationwiz, thanks for the reply. Ive thought of that actually, but I dont have the balls to do it. LOL. Ive taken some pics of the actual disc, but its not as good as what a scan would give me.
