DVD Shrink

Hi,

I am having a problem with DVD shrink.
The response I receive is : Invalid DVD Navigation Structure. Overlapped I/O Operation in progress.

I have read the help pages on DVDShrink and also there are some very interesting articles on another forum, digital digest which does list this error.

The problem I find is that Decrypter handles the DVD fine, no errors. So whether I copy from files on my HD or directly from the DVD, Shrink gives the same error.
I have enabled and disabled the I/O overlap setting and this doesn't resolve the problem.

By the same token, DVDClone will handle the DVD fine, the only problem here is that when I burn the DVD it is not playable on all players in the same way as Shrink. I use Datawrite Titanium. To this point I prefer to use Shrink. I've also tried running the completed DVD from Clone back onto Shrink, but the problem persists.

I'm confident it is not a protected disc since the disc I'm working with is a DVD-R.

I want to retain all menus ... any suggestions

Any ideas?

Also curious to know how anyone else feels about Datawrite Titanium, their older discs seemed to play on all players, however a new batch doesn't, so I'm wondering if they have changed something .... any suggestions for a miracle disc which will work on all players?

Maybe it could be because DVD Shrink/DVD Decrypter have now stopped development, and thus newer copy protections are not handled by these two programs.

Solution:

- Download AnyDVD and run it in the background.
- And do whatever you usually do to backup the DVD disc.

Download the latest freeware DVD FAB DECRYPTER which you will use to rip the files to your hard drive. Then use DVD SHRINK to create a ISO IMAGE then burn with DVD DECRYPTER or IMG BURN.

Jimmalenko - You are correct !

So by this you're saying the source is a burnt DVD-R, and not a commercial pressed disc ?

If so I don't think the above posts will help you

I guess I didn't read the original post correctly. If it's a burnt DVD-R then try ripping it in someone else's pc. I have many dvd burners and dvdroms so when I come across a problem with a burnt dvd not reading correctly one of them usually will read the disc.

If you're wanting to copy that DVD-R then just use DVD DECRYPTER to READ in ISO MODE to rip to your hard drive. Then to burn the ISO IMAGE use DECRYPTER in WRITE ISO mode. There is no need to use DVD SHRINK to backup that DVD-R.

I tried running IFO update. The response I get from Shrink is :
Invalid date in file .... \video_ts\vts_01_1.VOB

I haven't a clue !

Have you tried to re-rip the original DVD?

yes

I also have received the same message "Invalid date in file .... \video_ts\vts_01_1.VOB" not sure what it is......

If it's a single layered DVD-R, there's no need for DVD Shrink. Rip it with DVD Decrypter in the "ISO Read" mode. Then, change it over to "ISO Write" mode and write the resulting ISO file to a blank DVD-R.

I get Invalid DVD Navigation Structure errors usually from discs burned on standalone DVD recorders. The ISO Read / Write mode of DVD Decrypter copies the disc as written (even with these supposed errors) and will give you an exact copy. If the original works, the copy made in this mode should work, too.
