Copy protection error when using DVD Shrink

[paul_k]

Hi, my first post. I've been converting films to dvdr for a months now with no problems and this the first time i've tried to rip a DVD. I'm trying to backup a copy of Stuart Little 2 to dvdr. I've read the guide on doom9 for dvd shrink and every thing seemed fine until i come to decrypt/ backup. I get an error message saying 'copy protection error' and 'I/O device error'. I'm just trying to rip the film to my hard drive in video_ts files so i can burn them after. Any help on the problem would be much appreciated, thanks

Try playing the dvd in your computer first with power dvd or whatever program you have that can playback dvd movies. Sometimes playing the movie for a few seconds will unlock the copy encryption on the movie. Then try using DVD SHRINK. You can also use DVD DECRYPTER to RIP in FILE mode then use DVD SHRINK to shrink it.

I was having problems with that same error, dvdshrink would start the back up process then somewere in the middle I would get that error, this ocurred with the newer versions of dvd shrink at least the last 3. I went back to using 3.0 beta, with no problems.

Only 1,000 other people get that message too. It's a Nero thing actually.

Try an older version of shrink as mentioned, most people are using v3 Beta 5. Or get N2000... I bet youre using XP.

Decrypted it with DVDdecrypter onto my hard drive first then everything ran like clockwork, no problems. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
