Try ripping the file first with the built in ripper in AnyDVD. Just right click on the redfox in the tray and choose DVD rip to HDD, make sure you check the remove blank or unreferenced cells and then process this file with Shrink. If you still get the same error with the AnyDVD ripper then try cleaning the disk or take it back and get another original.
CloneDVD2 will work when shrink can't open saying the redundancy check. If you ripped with AnyDVD and DVDdecrypter just have clone "copy" to a DVD9 size and then let shrink do the rest.
easiest thing to do instead of blaming the "bad discs they sent out"
DVD Shrink/DVD Decrypter will give out CRC errors if there is protection that cannot be handled by these programs due to the lack of updates. Using AnyDVD, DVD43, DVDFab Decrypter or RipIt4Me will get by the newer protection, but this is only for those disks. If you are still getting CRC errors after using the above programs the chances are you have a bad disk in some form.
Quote:The most common times you will see the cyclic redundancy check error message is when trying to read data from a damaged CD or DVD. Just before it appears, your CD/DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away - your PC may also become a little slugglish.
Less frequent causes are the result of system crashes, and buggy software (hello Microsoft), incomplete downloads (often identified by the misleading message 'This is not a valid Windows file', 'This is not a valid win32 application' or 'Corrupt Zip file'). If this problem happens frequently with downloads, try using a download manager like GetRight. If you have lots of zip files on your system and want to check they are still valid, get a copy of CRC Checker - it's free and can validate zip or rar files in batches - which is much easier than doing it one at a time. This program is worth downloading and keeping on hand for when problems strike.
For CDs and DVDs, the problem is a little different. Normally, when CD/DVD drives get a CRC message from a disc, they try to read the disc again - hence the grinding sound. After several failed attempts, they give up and display the redundancy check error. The problem can be hardware (loose cables, failing drive), software or damaged media. In most cases checking and cleaning the disc is the easiest way to overcome the problem. If different clean discs produce the same error, it is likely to be a hardware issue (check the discs in another drive). Another common cause of these errors is poorly burnt CDs and DVDs - especially those that had numerous or severe buffer underuns. USB burners suffer from this problem when the burn speed is too high (generally above 4X-8X)
If the discs are damaged, you'll probably need a recovery tool to get back your data. CDCheck 3 will work for CDs and DVDs. First it will check the media, and then you have the option to recover the files. It's free for personal use and has saved many people heartache when it comes to recovering lost digital images and videos from damaged CDs.
