HELP!! First time burning DVD, error with DVDShrink

[scott015]

I put in a dvd thats small enough that doesnt require any shrinking at all. I then deleted the foreign languages anyway, and then BACKUP. I selected it to backup the temp files to:

F:/dvd/video_ts

and then I get this error message... what does this mean?

DVD Shrink encountered and error and cannot continue... Programming error-exception occured... Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

please help...!!!! thanks

i downloaded the newest version of DVDShrink... but I didnt download a demo of Nero... I already have a copy of Nero on my computer... do I still need to download the demo???

You don't need a Nero Demo. You also don't need to let DVDShrink burn for you.
It's a good idea to check your backup from your harddrive before you burn it. This saves coasters and lets you test your work. Try it that way until you are comfortable with the process.

After that, you burn as DVD video. Put everything in the target VIDEO_TS folder into the Nero VIDEO_TS folder. Don't put 1 VIDEO_TS folder into another, that won't work

i understand that... but what im saying is Im getting that error message when trying to copy the files to my hard drive... im not to the point of burning to my dvd-r yet.... i get that error when I simply slect BACKUP for first time in dvdshrink

ok, just installed the Nero demo and rebooted computer... started dvd shrink all over and tried again... this time i got it to actually start backing up to my hard drive... got to about 10% encoding and then got this error


DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue... Programming Error - exception occured


what do i do??? please help

Gotta be a Nero problem....

Sorry...you need to stop mentioning Nero in your post though. DVD Shrink's inability to rip your DVD correctly has NOTHING to do with Nero.
One problem at a time please.

you might try DVD Decrypter to rip the dvd to your HD. If you get the same error message during the rip then you may have a defect in the dvd itself. If it rips, you may then be able to back-up with dvdshrink.
