Has anyone been having this problem with DVD Shrink lately? For example last night I backup BoodRayne. It took almost nine hours to complete. Other newer titles that I have been backing up for the last few months has been taking more than three hours. Is this something that some of you people experiencing. What's causing this. I do have a fast machine, a pentium 4 running at 2.8 GHz. And I'm very religious about keeping my machine virus free and defragging the hard drive. I have backup quality setting and dvd shrink 3.2 quallity enhancement selected so I get the best backup quality. I've only seen this longer backup time just within the last few months. Could it be some newer encryption code. Any thoughts anyone?

To add to ^ do not run anything else in the background. Also make sure your cpu/system isn't covered with dust, turn off all screensavers etc.
When you copy with shrink turn off your firewall and virus
Also do a registry clean up and disc clean up
With your system specs you should do a movie in about 40min to 1hour although you do not mention how much ram (memory) you have.
one more thing what are you using to break the encryption of a movie?
Almost forgot Welcome to AD :)

thanks ArnieBear for your suggestion. I will check if the harddrive has somehow migrated to PIO rather than DMA. And to Pazzinni, to answer you question about what decryption program I use. If DVDShrink can't decrypt which is not too often. I use DVDFABDecrypter. If that don't work then I use PGCEdit with the latest plugins. Normally I don't use PGCEdit unless the DVD movie is from Sony/Columbia studio (ARCCOS encryption). Also why must the firewall and virus protection program have to be turned off? Please explain.

Because it is a big system hog, (espicially norton) it takes alot of your of your computers memory/processing power so anything you have running with your firewall/antivirus switched on, it will take other applications longer to do. (like transcoding a movie)
If you turn off your firewall and antivirus your computer will run alot faster. So shrink will have more memory to process/transcode your movie.

ArnieBear and Pazzinni, I'm back. I failed to mentioned that I'm backing up the decrypted DVD files to an external hard drive that is connected to a USB port. The drive is a Maxtor 250 GByte drive. How can I speed up the backup process with this particular setup?

Have you got the external drive plugged into a USB 1.0 port instead of a 2.0 one? I have both 1.0 and 2.0 ports on my pc. Did the long burns start when this drive was installed? Also run the spyware cleaner, CCleaner from:
http://www.ccleaner.com/
I also run Spybot S&D and Adaware. All these progs are free.

I went home last night and did a little experiment. I disable the antivirus program. The backup time went from nine hours to two hours. I will try this experiment again tonight with another DVD. Will keep you all posted.

Here's the result of my experiment from last night. I had the antivirus program disabled. Then I proceeded to launch DVDShrink. I placed another DVD in my DVD ROM drive. DVDShrink did the analysis, selected a full disk backup. The backup time took less than 2 hours and not the nine hours that I've been seeing the last few times that I ran a backup. It appears Pazzinni suggestion to disable all antivirus and firewall is a good idea! Thanks again Pazzinni.

your welcome :)
But one question, when shrink was working fine for you before, did you have your virus/firewall running Or did you recently install your firewall/virus programme then the problem occured?

It was the latter. I believe I've installed the antivirus program late last year.
