Ok, I'm at a loss. Yes, I always allow myself to suffer for about a week of pulling my hair out, trying to figure out my problems, before I consult you guys, the experts.
I back-up every new movie I buy and, have done so for years. I've always used DVD Shrink 3.2 and DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0. If Shrink gave me read errors I'd rip to the HD with Decrypter, first. Then, Shrink and burn as an ISO with Decrypter. This method proved flawless for any movie, untill recently...
I bought a few "new releases" last week and have only been able to successfully back-up a couple. Here are a few of the titles I cannot shrink; Final Fantasy VII, The Island, March of the Penguins, Wallace and Gromit, and Wolf Creek.
Symptom: No matter which of the above or following methods I use, my computer reboots in the middle (not immediately, about 70% complete) of DVD Shrinks "deep analysis" or "encoding" processes. Clone DVD2 will reboot during the middle of its encoding, aswell.
I've since tried 'Any DVD' in conjunction with these rippers: DVD Fab, Clone DVD2, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink. I can sucessfully rip to the hard drive w/o any problems. Only during processing does the reboot problem occur.. with no error messages.
I've also tried VOB Blanker on all the different rips to no avail.
It really seems as though something is wrong with my computer. I re-formatted my HD a couple days ago after this problem began and, redownloaded and installed everything fresh, with minimal "HD junk/clutter" also, I only have one set of these decrypter softwares installed at a time in-case it was due to software conflicts.
Here's the kicker... I can decrypt/shrink/back-up older movies without incident, some new ones, too. Like, Aeon Flux presented no problems to my tried and true method.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
