Sorry for starting a new thread but I ran searches and was unsuccessful.
I recently seperated with my beloved (after 12 years) and we have a small 25-30 DVD collection that we both would like to keep. I have Roxio as my burner and burned with it before but never copy protected DVD's.
I ran some searches, downloaded DVD decryptor and DVD Shrink. I ran both programs but when it came time to burn it prompted me that Nero wasn't installed. I don't use that burner; is there any way that I can run my Roxio program instead of Nero?
Or better yet, can a good samaritain post a play by play on what I should do to copy my movies?
I have a tight budget, partly thanks to my breakup so the free-er the better.
Again sorry for posting material that is already in here somewhere but I couldn't find what I was looking for so here I am.
Thanks for the reply. I think I found a work around. I decrypt, then shrink; at the end of the shrinking process I create an ISO image. Then I fire up Roxy and copy the IPO image on a blank DVD and voila. Made 3 so far and all work great. Kids will be able to watch their favs in both households...even if I am financing half of the old one even though I no longer live there.
However another problem has surged up on me. One DVD I decrypted fine then when I tried to shrink I get an error message telling me that it cannot open the decrypted file on my hard drive. Any ideas on this one?
There are more difficult discs sometimes that have a harsher copy protection , some would suggest DVD Fab HD Decrypter or AnyDVD for ripping purposes (either of those really help .. dvdFab is free / AnyDVD costs).
There are other workarounds if you search the forums for DVD Copy Protection mate , best of luck :-)
Here's a link for DVDFab HD Decrypter. Still updated to handle the new stuff. Shrink and Decrypter while great programs are no longer updated.
So rip w/ DVDFab on these instead of Decrypter.
I would agree with Binkie. I still use Ripit4me, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, and either Imgburn or Sonic RecordNow to burn. Still haven't come across a new release that Ripit4me can't handle.
