The bear is trying to keep from getting hung. I got the remake to find I needed the remake pro, or so I heard. And the cce isn't a cheap program. With all the other software I've purchased, I'm having trouble rationalizing the purchase of more. I know I would never purchase the full working version of CCE SP.

brobear, I don't blame ya, but you don't have to have remake pro, and tho CCE is 58.00 the quality is definitely the best of all with rebuilder and be able to keep menus.
 GO VOLS ! |

I might consider trying it for the $58. My impression was that for it to work properly, one needed the remake pro, and CCE SP.

oh yeah like I got 2,000.00 to burn. Actually mackemX has remake pro at his site for 35.00 and it is nicer, but remake, the regular version still blows away anything I've seen.
GO VOLS !

I've used the remake and burned it with DVDCopy2. Came out okay. But the titles I blocked out in the beginning of the movie left a blank screen that was still as long as the titles would have been (or seemed so).

It must've been something before 2.0. Starting with 2.0 there is an "autobypass" feature implemented which automaticaly redirects navigation to jump over hidden pieces.
And bigorange is right you don't need a Pro version to strip things (even angles). It is only for those who want to get into DVD guts :)

As dimad stated that can be overcome but if you're just trying to get the movie only then you can select that with DVDcompy2, it's an onboard feature.

Hey guys, the new shrink is out next week! Supposedly it can take several hours to get the quality comparing to dvdcopy 2 and Instantcopy 8. Here's a link:
Version 3.2 is scheduled for release next week. In the meantime, I made some documentation for the likely new settings:

Just working with the remake to see what would happen. A lot of what I did could be achieved with Recode2, XCopy, and DVDCopy2 or even DVD Shrink. (Waiting to see the improved Shrink.) In fact there were some elements I missed that I edited with the DVDCopy2 before I burned. Remake just makes it easier to run through the movie and cut out the parts not wanted.
Yes dimad, guess it was a version issue. Wonder why they didn't get it right sooner? After all, that is the reason for cutting things out, not to have to watch them, as well as the compression. I'd just as soon watch titles as watch an empty screen for an extended period.
Big O,
I updated the firmware on my burner. I wasn't experiencing any problems. I did it to keep from running into any on down the road. Who knows, it might make it perform better.

We got it the first time, quotes weren't necessary. Most know the guy with the nick Shrink is the author of DVD Shrink. Other than the pirates at DVDClone, when one mentions working on the DVD Shrink, we know it is Shrink on the com. (Just couldn't resist that pirate thing, thanks for the opening ddlooping.)

ddlooping, I swear, I thought I copied the whole thing(I hope no one got the impression that "moi" am the author of shrink, LOL) Thanx brobear. It's still pretty exciting tho, don't you think?

Wonder why he won't say if he has anything to do with recode? Rumor has it that is where he is going and this is it for shrink. Wonder if that's why he won't put menu retention in shrink? It's all so very mysterious. Who knows, if he is going to Nero to be paid big bucks, he deserves it. Kinda sad that this is the end of shrink, but at least for now it should go out in a blaze of glory if all the reports are true. We'll see.

Shrink keeps a low profile. I think we said more about the pirating of his program than he did. Wonder who does the R&D for DVDCloner now? Haven't heard too much from the Cloner thread since the news got dropped on them. Seems a lot of folks may be upset with DVDCloner. Guess I wasn't paying attention, our fellow member ddlooping does Shrink guides, so will probably correct our Shrink grammar.

All my fellow forum members,
I have posted this under another thread and maybe all of you are not watching it, since I have not had many replies.
I will go over it again to see if any of you can give me a clue.
I have been PMing with Brobear and Bigorange about it already.
Let's do it on the forum, Thanks
I have attempted twice to backup 3 movies from my library - Big Fish, S.W.A.T, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. (useing 3 programs that I have Decrypter to file and Shrink/nero to encode and burn......Instant Copy 8...... and Recode2..
I used ANYDvd on all three to decode the copy protection....
All the backups would play up to the screen that says "This is for home entertainment only. The views are the views of the speaker and not the views etc..."
At this point it would leave this screen and immediately come back to it. In other words that is as far as the movie would play.
I cleaned everything that I knew how to clean and tried it again.
I might add that Nero Recode was the first program that I used to try to back it up.
I could never get a backup of these 3 movies.
When I would insert recode2 to try agian it would not re-analyze it but go to the rearthur screen.
This told me that the registry was holding the broken code keys in the registry.
I double check this in ANYDVD , settings, CSS and it shows all the movies that you have run through ANYDvd. I clicked on the 3 movies and deleted them and it was suppose to delete the keys from the registry but evidently it did not because it still did not allow me to re-analyze it.
NOW comes the kicker.....I have DVDFab 1.8 which I dont use. Reinstalled it and low and behold it backs up the movie (Big Fish).
Now this tells me there is nothing wrong with my computer or burner - but probably with the code keys in ANYDvd.
Does anyone know how to wipe out the encrypted codes ANYDvd put in the registry? Maybe that will let me go back and reanalyze the movies and get a good encypted code in the registry.
I know this is lengthy but I have worked a long time on this problem.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
I might add that all three of these moves are by Columbia Tri Star and I have backed up my other movies from Columbia Tri Star without any problem.
One more thing I have noticed. A few times when I went into ANYDvd, settings, program the Safe Mode option was rechecked. I did not recheck. Why do you think the program rechecked it........I didn't do it.

someone got a hold of the new shrink, here's a little
excerpt, this is better than a soap opera:
I tried it last night on a disc of South Park season 4, so not the most typical material, but I thought it did a very nice job at about 65%. I enabled all the quality settings (deep analysis, Compress B-pictures more, and Compress P-pictures with adaptive error correction). I don't think the "Compress edges" option is actually working yet, so I haven't tried it. It took 1:48 to run from a mounted .ISO on my 1700+, so its kind of in OPV range.
Subjectively, the result seems better with less pulsing than previous versions. I really need to do some direct comparison with more typical material, though.
Noah, where the hell did you get the password from?
Edit: this question was asked before Noah edited his post and removed the link and password.
To which Mr. Shrink repied, Quote:
How Dare You!
ddlooping, if you're lurking, i gave MR. Shrink his due.
It was also stated Mr. Shrink definitely did recode to which he responded and neither denied or confirmed.

Sophocles,
What do you use to clean registry with.
I have used everything I know to use and no results.
Nortons 1 button check up
