If you're crashing with Shrink and DVD2One it has little to do with RI4M. As the guide pointed out, once RI4M is through ripping, it's all Shrink or whatever software you choose after that. Too many people have successfully used RI4M and Shrink for it to be flawed software.

Aye, I figured perhaps it was an option I was missing, a check box that wasn't described perhaps as I followed the guide to the letter, which is why I posted the log. I'll look through the thread again but I don't remember seeing a log made with this exact procedure. It's something in a setting with ripit4me or decrypter, since when I get to shrink or DVD2One it doesn't continue. (loads and anyalizes fine in shrink, but hit that backup button and the whole program vanishes, DVD2One gives a forced close by windows when I select the fixed movie)

Actually, I just tried playing the disc in the dvd drive, and it's not letting me. "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card." And this is the box I bought <.< Plays fine in the dvd player....crapola, although that is sorta unlinked from my problem I believe

Hopefully you didn't try to copy all the checks I had in preferences on the images. The images were only for pointing out the particular items I had written in the tutorial. In fact there could have been conflicting things from one image to the other, I didn't pay attention. Things should have been left at default settings and the things I pointed out changed as necessary.

I've heard people being unable to play the Saw 3 disc on their PCs. It opened on mine in WinDVD 8 from InterVideo. I have the difficult unrated version and so far I've not had problems, but I've played around with it enough to see the copy protection everybody is talking about is there. I've been able to use both RI4M and AnyDVD as decrypters. And for transcoding I've used DVDCopy 5, Shrink, and encoded with RB and burned with Nero. I forgot, CloneDVD 2 will even do backkups of Saw 3. Ireland mentioned DVDneXtCopy would do it with a plugin. You'd have to ask him about that one. But so far from my personal experince, AnyDVD or RI4M are needed for this one and according to how a person handles the software, there's several that will get a backup done. So far though, RI4M with Shrink was probably the easiest for a Full DVD.

You're welcome. Now you know why I said put the DVD R in the drive before hitting OK. Glad you got your backup. Dialysis was saying FixVTS is up to 1.6.6.0. I just installed it. I got a full backup without problems using the 1.6.4.0.

I just ran Saw3 through ripit4me and it worked perfectly. Now when I go to burn it to disk with Nero it says it's too big for disk. I thought dvdshrink would take care of this when i ran in ripit4me. What else can I do to make it fit? Are there still empty video files I need to get rid of? I thought the ripit4me takes care of everything?
