Hello,

Try to rip the disc to the harddrive in iso mode with dvd decrypter and then open the iso with shrink. You will need extra disc space to store the dvd first and then the 4.37gb on top of that after it's shrunk.

I got that on my old machine as well. I just uninstalled/reinstalled and it never came back.

I am using an ISO image created by DVD Decrypter.

I got that on my old machine as well. I just uninstalled/reinstalled and it never came back.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled can't get it to work. Odd

No other solutions or IDeas???

Try an older version of DVD Shrink, like 3.05b, and see what happens.

get win XP

[dudeman316]

Same thing with version 3.17 & i cant seem to find anthing lower. And I cant use win Xp right now,

[Shocker Milwaukee]

Look harder. Version 3.05b is still around, as is the original.

Found DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5. I try running my files through it & I get the following error:

You will get that message if you are trying to shrink dvd files made with tmpgenc dvd author,if you are then use dvdshrink 2.3.

> You will get that message if you are trying to shrink dvd files made with tmpgenc dvd author

About a year ago I tried Pinnacle's Instant Copy (both 7 and 8 ) and got that message from DVD Shrink with most of those disks unless I used 2.3. But I've used DVD Shrink on several dozen disks made with TMPGenc DVD Author and never got an error.

[dudeman316]

OK I get about 80% and I get the message again with dvdshrink 2.3

If i were to install Windows Xp would this fix the problem all together??

[budz]

are you using your dvdrom to rip or the burner? installing xp in my opinion wouldn't make a difference when ripping dvd files. i had windows 98se for a long time and could use dvd decrypter and dvd shrink with no problems.

[dudeman316]

I am using my burner as my DVD rom is out of comission. Would using the burner make a difference?

[budz]

Would using the burner make a difference?

yes because your burner might not be a good reader. i would suggest you purchase a liteon dvdrom to replace the one that's out of commission.

[dudeman316]

budz, how good are the liteon & LG dvd Burners?

[budz]

budz, how good are the liteon & LG dvd Burners?

the liteon dvdroms have fast ripping speeds via firmware a hack which is easy to do. i don't know about LG burners. i've built 3 computers with liteon cdrw/dvdroms model SOHC- 5232K. they're sometimes better dvd readers than my toshiba dvdroms. here's a link for liteon firmware hacks.
