Hello
I have had this message on a few DVDs. "DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue
Failed to read file "E:\"
Data error (cyclic redundancy check)."
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks

DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
failed to read fild E:\ data error cyclic redundancy Data error
Just to add to 9mmruger1 's response:
Possible causes:
The disk is either badly scratched, diry/smudged in areas where info can't be read correctly, a bad press (digitally faulty), or copy protection shrink can't handle because of its discontinued support/advancement.
NOTE:There could also be a slight chance that your optical drive may be tiring, if it's happening with all attempted backups, a new drive maybe the solution.
If it appears dirty clean it and try again.
If it's badly scratched or if you have a possible bad press, you'll need to exchange it for another and try it again.
If it's copy protection that's causing shrink to spit out the error... then try any one of these options:
1) DVDfab decrypter, it's a very good and supported free whole movie ripper/decrypter. Use it to rip the video files to your HDD, open the files ripped using shrink and proceed as you normally would.
2) Ripit4me, it takes the ripping/transcoding/and burning process and makes it a one click task. You'll need DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, and FixVTS to make it all work.
3) Download and install the trial version of AnyDVD. Once installed, run DVD dhrink as you normally would to produce a backup, AnyDVD runs in the backround to crack the copy protection on the disk.
