I kept getting errors while using dvd shrink so I used decrypter and figured I could use shrink to re-author it and burn it. Only problem is when I use the drop down within shrink to open it, it's nowhere to be found. Is this because the file is an "mds" and can't be recognized. Any idea on my options here?
I can't go into detail about the problem but I can help you out, or at least will try to....
Ok, first and foremost get the latest DVD Decrypt and Shrink, they should be available on Afterdawn.
Next, use DVD Decrypt and keep the settings in default, but make sure under "MODE" you have ISO--> "READ" not "WRITE" on (check marked)
Next, for your destination folder, shoot it over to your desktop, then just decrypt.
After that is done, open up Shrink. Go to "FILE, " and "OPEN DISC IMAGE." Find the image that you used got from DECRYPT and then scan it.
Now, after it analyzes it, just go through the options that are available to you and then make sure you put the image that it creates in your C: drive (only reason I say that is so that you don't burn the wrong image)
Lastly, use Nero to burn the Shrink image and then it should be good from there.
Let me know if this helps and if it doens't you should get a better response from a veteran on the forums. But this should work for you.
Oh yeah, one more thing....the mds file....you shouldn't have to worry about that. At least, I don't keep mine.

the mds file is a extension from which the others are linked together so to speak.
shrink will recognize mds
file>open disc image.it clearly says "files of type"-mds amongst others
i would suggest you make a folder on yout desktop for which your data can be stored,that way you cannot lose it.
with kind regards hursty
