Please Help me:
When backing up a dvd (On this occasion Hitch - But fault is not paticular to any disc) When encoding (at 3,200 kb/s) Shrink freezes the PC and the only way to get out is to reset PC. I have 2.8ghz processor and 768mb ram (1x 256 1x 512) I cannot back up any of my dvds - dvd decrypter completes fine but dvd fab decrypter freezes aswell. please help, this is driving me insane!!
pete1014 ,
That movie is on the problematic list at the DVDShrink site. Do what Jizmak suggested and use AnyDVD($39.00) as it runs in the background or use DVDFAB Decrypter ( free) to rip the DVD to HD
Ok, I downloaded the ANY DVD Trial and i am ripping dvd to my hard drive using the program, presumably i just open the output files in SHRINK. Is that right?Thanks for your responses.Much apprecaited!
OK, AnyDVD froze just like shrink did. I think it's a PC problem. Can anyone please advise. I'm really getting desperate now - spent HOURS trying to sort it, but to no avail.Thanks Again... i hope i can resolve this without new parts - i've upgraded just about everything i can (I'm now @ the max limit on my ram cant put in anymore)PLEASE PLEASE HELP
pete1014,
Ripping the files to HD using AnyDVD is usually used for the real problem DVD's. Try it this way as it will work:
1. Make sure the foxes head in the lower right taskbar is red
2. Insert DVD into DVD-Rom or burner. On the lower right in the taskbar you will see the foxes head go from red to pale and when it turns back red then you start Shrink and then process it that way( read from the disk). You do not have to use the rip to HD feature unless you just want to
Turn of the computer and ground yourself. Now open up the side of the computer and clean out the dust bunnies. While there make sure all of the cables are connected properly and seated. You can used the compressed air that you buy in the can to blow the dust
car.mike, Thanks alot for your help. I downloaded a registry cleaner and that's started now ( I typin on my laptop) but i cant figure out the memory86 test thing. I hope it'll start working after the registry cleaner but if not i'll clean out the dust( I do it pretty reg anyway).Thanks Again. Much appreciated.Pete
Hi all,
Have done what you said with ANY DVD, then opned up with shrink, it's encoding now, very stop/start video preview. 1,800kb/s speed reading. I've run several registry fix programs. I'll be back on the board tomorrow (GMT) I'd just like to than all for their comments so far - Please keep 'em coming!I'm beginning to think it may be hardware problem instead?Any ideas???I've googled my problem but there doesn't seem to be any of a similar nature.Thanks Again.
