Problems backing up a movie

[PharmBoy]

I have been using DVD shrink to back up all of the dvds my daughter got for christmas this year. All has been fine until I put in Monsters Inc. in which I got an error (Data error : cyclical redundancy error). Reading the forums on here I tried to use DVD decryptor which also gave me an error. I also tried DVD xpress and it to failed though it did get to almost 78% read versus the others that puttered out around 15-18% Any suggestions? Since I do own the movie, I don't want to pay for a program to copy it if that is possible.

Thanks
Jeff

That frequently happens with scratched or smudged discs. Have you checked the data surface?

I've even had to resurface some discs before DVDShrink would do a full read without erroring out with a CRC error

No, the DVD came right out of the package.
I even wiped it off in case there were fingerprint smudges.

I also tried encoding it from both drives and neither would work.

It might be a possible new copy protection that is appearing. Here's another member with the same problem (different movie):

My outlook on this issue.
I do not believe that this is a new form of copy
protection. I backed up my "monsters Inc" and
RE2 without a hitch. I believe that there are, occasionally, errors on certain dvd pressing
machines. I, assume, that these machines turn out
tens of thousands of disks a day. If a certain press
is misaligned or iffy in it's function, It stands to
reason that many on this forum would run into
similar issues.
I have had several factory disks that had the same
decrypter issues, and nothing was reported on this
forum. I think that resident evil 2 was a fluke and
came off of a defective press. The error correction
in settop dvd players will of course handle this with
ease.
Just my opinion, I have no definative way to prove
this one way or the other.

Happy New Year to all.

Which program did you use?
Is it one I listed above???

I finally backed up resident evil 2 by using super dvd copy (saved to hard drive (chose not to split the dvd), ran it through shrink, and burned with roxio easy media 7.
