Hi, I have a DL movie on my hardrive that I want to compress and burn to DVD-R 5, but DVD Shrink reports an error when going through that repeating jumping guy photage. That's fine, but my problem is that DVD shrink seems to be the only program that can remove copyright and compress directly from the hardrive. MyDVD or DVD-Decrypter cannot, you must have the files on Disk and decrypt from the DVD Drive.
Any way around this, or do I have to burn it to a Dual Layer DVD-R?
You don't say what movie you are trying to copy, but from your description, it sounds as though it has one of the newer forms of copy protection. Take a look at the following post, specifically the second one down by alkohol for a guide.

I did post you a reply, but it never got posted. So i'm rewriting it again.
I downloaded Bourne Supremacy DL, a torrent file from Demonoid.com.
DVD shrink gives this messages when I press Back Up!
"DVD Shrink encourntered an error and cannot continue.
Programming error - exception occurred
The parameter is incorrect."
In the preview window I see fotage of a sport guy running of jumping. I read somewhere that movie companies put that in so to boggle dvd-decrypting programs such as DVD Shrink.
siseneg,
Bourne Supremacy The movie must of been downloaded still encrypted, but if memory serves I backed up this movie using DVD shrink only. To make sure you're using the current version of shrink, you can get it here;
I choose to reauthor the movie so as to backup just the main title and 5.1 AC3 english audio channel, then had shrink create an ISO image and autoburn to disk using DVD decrypter at 4x speed.
Note: you must have DVD decrypter installed on your PC in order to have shrink use it to burn the image to disk.
So:
Using DVD shrink, I opened the DVD but in your case you'll choose open files, clicked reauthor, double click on the upper most TITLE on the right to choose it (represents the main movie), click on the compression tab and uncheck everything except the 5.1 AC3 english audio selection. Click backup and have shrink create an ISO image file and burn to disk using DVD decrypter.
That is: choose to save target as "ISO image file and burn with DVD decrypter"
The other option (but I don't believe it will be necessary) is to re-rip the files on your HDD using a free ripper/decrypter called DVDFab decrypter, once done open the files it created using DVD shrink and proceed as described backing up just the main movie.
Thanks for that excellent post [bol]johnl123, it was very step by step and informative. I ended up using Re-author although I did not want to because I wanted to keep as much material as possible. DVDFab Decrypter did not work for me. I don't think I did it wrong, it's a three steps process, I took it from where the movie first got downloaded and sent it to another folder where I used DVD Shrink to compress it, it got stuck at the running, jumping man again. Ah well, at lease I have the movie, and happy that chapters were include. Did DVD Shrink do that?
