scubapete- i did what you said and cleaned the original dvd but i still get the same "cyclic redundancy check" error. another problem is when i am using DVD Decrypter during this phase
Got it ? Neato, now lets rip this "puppy" - Under "Mode" select "ISO" then "tick" "Read". Lets "untick" "Verify", this will lessen errors. Where it says, "source", you'll put either your DVD-ROM drive OR the location on your HD where your DL resides. Lastly, where it says "Destination", select the folder we just made where we can work on our project. By doing this, we keep everything on the disc EXACTLY as it is including size.
about half way through the phase, 48%-52% decrypter stops working. it retries like a billion times and just gets stuck.

oukie,

Actually it is a purchased disc from a shop.... was wrapped and sealed.... So no, not d/l ... but anyway.. will see what I can do with it.
I guess the question is, is it a professional disc OR a semi- type of thing that someone made and is selling locally ?
If it's a "Pressed" job, it might be a manufacturer fault - If it's the latter, it could be a compilation project done on poor media. The combo of the 2 leaves you out in the cold with noithing to do except a "copy disc".
A question, what is the size of the original disc ?
Let me know,
Pete

Shaddy,
For extremely large DVD's feel free to use DVD Shrink in it's default mode.
I recommended tightening things uyp a bit when the discs aren't those we've found to be of a high quality. I also like to have the extra edge because being a "Bumble fingers" and dropping discs from time to time it's possible to tick those edges. With a little extra safety ring., I worry a bit less :)
Cheers,
Pete

Does anybody else have a site that has dvd movie labels. I tried cd.covers.cc but it requires software installation that makes me very nervous.
ScubaPete can you make a recommendation you always have great ideas.

???????????
tarisea, I know of no software installation you need to download covers. Create a folder and name it(dvd covers for example) right click on the cover and then click on "save picture as" and browse to your folder you created.
You do need a software to use the covers, I use Nero Ultra 6's Nero cover design.

shaddy, I agre with Pete, I like to leave a little ring at the edge of my discs. Shrink should handle large movies up to 40% compression using the new quality settings. If it's more than that you can;
a)drop some extras using substitute still image feature or,
b)put all extras on one disc and the main movie on another or
c)use re-author and do movie only.
There is another program I use for very large movies and that's DvdRebuilder and CCE Basic. It will do over 50% compression, keep everything and you can't tell the original from the copy.
Set up is a little difficult, but once finished it is a one click operation which takes about 4 hours, but the results are unbelieveable!
CCE Basic costs 58.00, everything else is free and all can be found here in aD including a guide on setup, 2 very big threads dealing with any and all problems, and a host of guys that can help you out should you have any questions....:>)

At 40% on Shrink I'd go for the softer settings.

Hi tarisea,
I didn't have good luck with CD covers so I use a scanner and Neato labels, have over 1,000 done that way and no problem. HOWEVER, I cannot caution you enough, if you don't have a Disc printer you MUST have a cover applicator. trying to do it by hand you'll wind up with the cover off center and tear up your drive and have unplayable DVD's.
Cheers,
Pete

Big Orange,
Hi, long time no talk, but I am still reading all the posts. I have had alot of luck with backing up and now want to make covers. I went to cdcovers.cc and found and saved the covers like you said. Is there a trick to printing them? I tried one and it came out 4x6. What is the size I need? I haven't bought the cases yet so I don't have the size of the case. I want to print the covers and have them ready for the cases.
Thanks again!!!

Willie,
Use DVD Decrypter to rip your DVD then capture the files with DVD Shrink using "Open Files" - then go back to your guide -

Tarisea, Go to: http://www.cdcovers.cc/
I went there and had no problems. Then go to dvd covers. Do as Big Orange suggested by making a folder on your desktop. save the covers there until you are ready to print them. Good Luck

nailedny, good job, I can use the help, LOL.
I use Nero cover design, it works very well. It's in nero Ultra 6.
Is that the program you are using? Under file you can set all your printer settings. I use kronenburg(?or something like that,LOL)& I use the 8 by 11 photo paper and use a cutter to cut them out, so I don't have to be precise on printing. ;>)

Gimpie: Thanks for the info!
I still am in need of dire help. I have gotten DVD Shrink to finish the backup in oh, a mere 6 HOURS!!! But I can live with that. I'll just do backups before bed. However, it did not burn directly afterwards. I am using Nero and have the Burn using Nero enabled. So when I go to Nero, I do not see any options besides making a VCD. I do not want that (at least I dont think I do). Any suggestions for either speeding up the backup process as well as how to make DVD Shrink burn the disc when it's done. I have 2 drives and the burner is loaded with the correct blank DVD. Also, if it helps, here are my computer specs: Compaq AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz, 248 MB RAM... Thanks so much!!!

Hi there
Ive been reading and reading all the great advice and I'll try not to make you laugh by asking this stupid question. I have been backing up DVD's for about a month since I got a new computer. I have DVD43 installed and then I use 1 Click DVD Copy. They all seem to work fine until now.... Some of them recently have not been playing in certain dvd players. Is this because maybe my burner is DVD+R and some players aren't compatible?? Does anyone know just how compatible +R is compared to -R? I dont know what to do. Cheers, Gen

Ok... one more question... i am trying to give up using Shrink/Nero and trying the Shrink/Decrypter combo... I am following scubapetes wonderful instructions, however, while using Decrypter where it asks for me to select destination, it says that no devices are detected and it does not allow the drop down menu to be pulled down (grayed out). Now I know my burner is installed correctly. Nero recognizes it, I have burned many CDs before... I also just uninstalled it and then rebooted. It was found and shows up in the device manager. Any ideas? Your help is so appreciated. I am going crazy... frustration level is rising rapidly!
Thanks!!!!

soxbox,
I use decrypter to burn my backups. In Shrink, I select to create an ISO file and the place I want it to go (you can put it on the desktop if you like, that way it is easy to find). I only have 1 drive also, so i have to do it this way. I then right click on the iso file and select "burn using dvd decrypter". Decrypter will open with the file and all i have to do is click the burn button. If decrypter isn't recognizing your burner, this may not be possible.
With Nero 6 you have options to burn a cd and a dvd. when you open Nero and get the wizard there is a drop down box above all the selections on the left part of the wizard. it will default to cd i believe, you just need to click there and pick dvd. then you can burn your dvd.
i hope this stuff helps, as i have only been doing this for a month.

Hi Pete
I suspect it to be semi-type .....
The original disc is a dual layer disc, and the used space is 6.5gb for all.
It actually is my father's mother-in-law's disc and was purchased 7 days after latest movie on disc was released at cinema ..... That's why i suspect it to be semi-type... The other three movies is real good quality picture and sound... only one of them is poor picture but sound is good....
