Handy tools to help you find out about your PC ~
To check firmware, at the bottom of the page look for "What's my firmware? - Try this little tool I found," Download this tool and check out your firmware. There are also some firmware updates at this site.
A newer encryption (end of "04") involves either a "jumping Jack" OR a "running Kid" the Bourne Supremacy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Punisher, The Pianist, Taken, The Shape of Things, Scarface special edition and one or two others are in this group.- In "Unreferenced materials" select title 1 menus, there is a "Boy" running (or running)(in green shorts (bad taste in clothes)). By checking him out in the "Preview" screen, you can see his outfit too. Sometimes DVD Shrink gets past it sometimes not -
If you don't make it past it then go to that Unreferenced materials select Title 1 menus - Then go to "Compression" select "Custom Ratio" then select "Still image" then try DVD Shrink again, it should slide right on through, like a hot knife through tender Turkey -
Option 3.
Run it through VOBBlanker first, then pickup the files with DVD Shrink and process as usual -
NOTE: Make sure that the files are in a VIDEO_TS folder so that DVD Shrink can see them.
It's simple to use - Input, from your original DVD to input, output to a previously made VIDEO_TS folder - Then pickup with DVD Shrink using "Open Files."
