CAN'T BACK UP DVDR???

[sunsethollywood]

I bought a DVDR and I am trying to back it up and I keep getting errors. DVD Decrypter says it is DVD Cycle something? DVD shrink says the same thing. I have no idea what the problem is. Is there something the creator did not to not allow people to back it up? Please help?

Play the main movie. Then while it is playing use DVD Shrink or DVD Decryptor.

That error means it cannot read the disc well, try in another drive or try to use Nero or some other software to set the readspeed to 1x during the extraction. Likely its a cheap disc, you may not be able to pull the data off of it.

I take it you mean a cyclic redundancy check ?
Try smartripper also. I have had many a time when DVD decrypter and shrink would not read discs but smartripper has. Often it has been a damaged disc and I have found that even a different DVD-ROM has had more/less success. Make sure the disc is free on dust, fingerprints and scratches.

I have had this problem with a one of my DVD i was trying to back up and gor error's with every ripper I used and every DVD drive i tried I try a friend copy of the same DVD and was able to make a back up copy. Some time's the real copy will have burn error's on the disc.

I tried my DVD-R drive, instead of my DVD+R drive and I believe it works now. Thanks for all the help, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
