ofield when 2old told me about the labels that screwed 75 of my movies i was going to through them out but i tried taking the labels off and most of them worked. take the disk and put it in front of a small heater, let the label heat up a little and peel the label off then try and see if it plays if it does you can most likely copy it, it is worth a try. 2old really helped me out with the labels they are the worst. he made me get a printer that prints right to the disk and it is the best thing i did. 2old know he's stuff

Sure, you saved it in the ISO mode.
To open it in Shrink go to: File -> Open Disc Image

I don't know Bud, have you got another folder on your HD named "Movie" and maybe it's looking at the wrong one?

NEWS FLASH!
Here's the answer timberlou. Shrink will not look on your desktop for a file...
Just drag and drop the file to your HD and it will find it.......

Just copy the Key that you got onto a floppy or CD and put it on the other computer...

About the cheapest Epson compatible ink that you can find in this country is at http://private.abacus24-7.com . It works as good for me as the expensive Epson ink at about 1/3 the price.

@timberlou,
abacus.com is the best place I?ve found for ink. I usually order 2 or 3 six packs and an extra single Black, then on the next order I get an extra Yellow also cause Black and Yellow are the most used and run out sooner than the others..

I haven?t found Hub-printables in the discs that I use.. I always use 16x, +R?s usually Verbatim cause I can get them locally and don?t have to order.

I know the hole is bigger but I can live with it and most of the Hub printables that have seen are only in 8x, -R. I don?t use ?R because it can?t be Booktyped to a DVD-ROM and I always do that to make it more compatible with all players..

Have a Merry Christmas and hope you receive a lot of gifts and blessings..

My Son is on leave from Baghdad and I may be scarce for a while?.

timberlou,

I just want to mention one more thing - They have already got you straight on not using adhesive labels and I totally agree - had my own nightmare with those last year - but I just want to add, IF YOU STILL HAVE THOSE BACKUPS - you can DE-LABEL them if you dont want to re-copy them from your originals.

When I had my nightmare - I was given advice of spraying the labels with wd-40 let them sit a few mins, and they peel right off. Then, just wash them with mild soap and water so they won't be greasy. I did not believe it but had over 50 disks I Thought were ruined so I figured what the heck. I took the advice and it worked perfect and I did not have to waste 50 more disk re-doing them. And they all played brilliantly after I de-labeled them. This includes the fact that I had scratched many of them up badly thinking they were ruined before I knew it was just a labeling issue.

I just wanted to add that if you (or anyone else reading this) were trying to salvage the ones you had already backed up and put the adhesive labels on. Over time, I have also read that some ppl just simply use soapy water and get the labels off just as good.


Also, for any ppl interested - there is a thread that has a massive amount of info on using printable disks vs. lightscribe printers. You cant go wrong either way, just depends on what you prefer.

Here is the link to that thread for anyone interested:

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/241802


-----------------------------

EDIT: Sorry I didnt realize there were 3 pages here when I wrote this upper response - I see that you have already found a different solution for your delabeling process. However, I will go ahdead and leave the info I wrote for other options if anyone else is interested.

timberlou - no prob - hope its helpful - this thread and that one have a few things in common.

As far as DE-LABELING - If I had known to try your way (with the blowdryer)- I probably would have tried that first - it certainly takes less steps than the process I did - There were a few I never did get around to - collecting dust somewhere - *LOL*

Whenever I come across them again - im going to try it your way which is faster and less messy *L*

Hey timberlou, long time.. Been out of pocket for a while.
No, this does not mean that you can no longer Back-up your movies.
It just means that Finland passed some new laws that restrict AfterDawn from providing links to copy protection breaking software? Different countries, different Laws.
When you Own a Movie you can Back it up for-your-own-use?
You cannot however, make a Copy and Sell it, Distribute it or Give it away? That?s illegal and you can be fined $250,000.
If you own a Movie and make a back-up and at some point in time you sell that movie to someone else, you must pass all back-ups that you have along with the movie to the new owner.. That?s because if you keep a back-up and no longer own the movie it then becomes just a Copy and that is illegal?

Hang in there.. How you been doing?

Hey timberlou,
Once you have backed up a movie it will have no protection therefore can be copied with no problems?

Copy with DVDDecrypter ? ISO mode Read ? then ISO mode Write back to a blank disc..

Use Nero, Copy disc, one drive copy or two drives on the fly.

Read in with Shrink and write with Decrypter or Nero.

I haven?t used Clone but I would imagine it would be about the same. Just read it and write it, it will not need shrinking or processing?
