Hi to all, very new at this so please bear with me. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem (god knows I have enough of them!! :) I am trying to burn a DVD (which during the past ) I have had no problems whatsoever with.....however, during the initial analysing now, a call box displays stating " DVD Shrink encountered an error & cannot continue. Failed to read file "F:/". Data error (cyclic redundancy check)............so forgive my ignorance but can someone tell me what the hell is going on and how to fix this thingy..........cheers, joob.

Your disc is scratched/dirty. Clean it off, and try it again. You can try various methods of removing the scratches (I like using toothpaste). If you keep getting the error, you'll need to get yourself a new disc.

EDIT: Another explanation is that your DVD is somewhat new and Shrink can't handle the encryption. Try running AnyDVD in the background while using Shrink.

yeah DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter arent update anymore that why they wont work by them selfs you can run AnyDVD in the background and use DVD Shrink and or DVD Decrypter AnyDVD is a driver that works in the background and removes the protection from the dvd ,its the new sony arccos and ripguard protection that causes the problems on the newer dvds(disney) etc. which AnyDVD can take care of being the program updates weekly. if you do use DVD Shrink with AnyDVD sometimes DVD Shrink will still have problems transcoding the dvd and you will get a read error .if your using DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD set DVD Decrypter up this way....

To use DVD Decrypter in conjunction with AnyDVD as stated per Olli ->OF SLYSOFT AND CloneDVD

Proceed to the DVD Decrypter Opening Page - Tools - Settings

I/O Tab - Click on "Elby CDIO-Elaborate Bytes"

General Tab - un-check "Check For Structure Protection"

but your best bet is to use CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD together (this is what iam using) the programs update ,you can do all the newer movies(i never had a movie i cant backup with this combo) you can control the burn speed(always burn at 4x or no faster than 8x) and you can re-author the dvd(doing the movie only). its the best program out there heres the link you can download both and use the free 21 day trial before you buy.

and a guide to use the program (its very easy)

remember to use good blank media (taiyo yuden and or verbatim) and burn at 4x starting out on a clean machine without other programs running in the background and the lastest firmware on your drive.

For freeware, try use DVD Fab Decrypter to rip the dvd to harddisk, then any burning program (e.g. Nero) to burn the movie from hardisk to dvd:
