I just burned X2: X-Men United with DVD Shrink and it went through the process fine with no errors and it burned like a charm onto one of my DVD+RW's, then I put it into my dvd player and it played like nothing else!!!!

Volcom915, See there I knew you could do it.
Another good remark about Shrink/Decryptor
HP 7975 Pentium 4W/2.0 XP Home
1 GB RAM
Maxtor 80 GB and WD 80 GB (used for movies only)
Pioneer 116 DVD ROM,and BenQ 1640 Combo

For Juca39,
Decrypter is pretty much for decryption with some burning functionality. For easy work and good results, DVD Shrink (free) does a good job and the default setting of Shrink is to burn with Nero. As you say you have Nero already, this is a plus. Look at the guides here at AfterDawn and at Doom9.org. It is a pretty straight-forward program and once you know the controls a powerful one. As Shrink does its own ripping, the use of Decrypter is best suited for more heavy and sometimes difficult work in decrypting. The Nero burning ROM you have is one of the best available (not saying there aren't others).

Brobear is right, burning with DVD Decrypter is largely a novelty since everyone who buys a retail burner gets burning software with it. If you have Nero then you should set Shrink up to intialize the burn after it has completed processing the movie. To set it up open shink and choose edit, prefernces, File I/O, and then to the bottom left click enable burning with the Nero. Give that a try, I think you'll be happy with the results.

juca39, again, hate to be redundant, but since u have Nero, run anydvd in the background and all u have to do is just open nero and burn(in recode2, which does what shrink does, only better and keeps all working menus). If u don't want to pay for anydvd (39.00-WELL WORTH IT) get dvd43, it's free and will do what anydvd does.

bigorange is also correct, you can use Nero recode to perform the same tasks as DVD Shrink but you must have a copy of Nero Ultra beause the express version doesn't include recode.

Thanks for pointing that out Sophocles, you must have Ultra 6 to get recode 2.

Shrink and Decrypter is still the fastest and easiest to use combo. I only use nero to burn from HD files occasionally and I use recode if the movie has DTS requiring me to pick and choose without loosing the menus.
Alcohol 120% is getting a lot more use for testing and tracking images.
If I shrink multiple movies then I just create the images the open them in alcohol which easily keeps track then I test the images then burn from the same window.
A very nice program.

And let me add the free DVD43 isn't good on all computer systems. For the majority it works. For a few of us unfortunate souls, there are problems. No tech backup on the freebies like that one.
Hey Sophocles, can Shrink taking over an hour to decrypt and encode and then use nero for a burn be faster than the speedy Recode? You did the time test, how's it go?

I have yet to see DVD43 not work on any setup. I have tested Intel and AMD in dual and single proc configurations. I always use XP with NTFS.

Well I'll be your first then. I have computer experience and formal classes (college level)dealing with the subject. I know when I add a program and things start going south that that software was a contributing factor. Granted the program may work for most. There may have been circumstances already in play on my system leading toward a problem. Heaven knows what. Yet the DVD43 was the key that set the problems in motion. Guess that's enough on DVD43, we're getting away from the discussion. DVD43 is not a panacea for all.
Using XP with NTFS (New Technology Filing System)
2.8GHz P4 (Hyper Threading)
800Mhz front side bus
Dual WD HD = 80GB + 250GB
Memorex dual format +/- R/RW drive
Samsung CD RW drive
And a lot of bells and whistles_

Being unable to properly setup your machine is not the same as DVD43 not working properly. You don't need or have to use the program but there is no doubt it would work for you if you wanted it to.
You might need to spend more time than someone else because of your setup, but it never takes me more than a few minutes.
DVD43 is not a fix all. Just an important little tool in the free program arsenal.

brobear, I decided, since I promote recode all the time in this forum used in conjunction with anydvd, and that I have also recommended dvd43 for those who couldn't or wouldn't buy anydvd without really ever trying it, but going on the recommendations of others in this forum who are far more knowledgeable than myself, I decided to use dvd43 last nite to burn with nero. I must say I had no problems at all. Maybe I was lucky or maybe it'll hit me down the line. The only difference I did notice was, there is a couple of extra clicks and it took longer to burn, but it did get the job done. I also probably have one of those mid-powered "store bought" PC's Sophocles was talking about ( Dell Dimension 4800/pentium 4/280g)but be that as it may, it did work. For what it's worth.......

My humble apologies. As a knowledgable user of computers and software I suddenly have developed a brain fart. From knowing how to use software which I have been doing for many years, I suddenly become inept due to a freebie. Hope all will forgive me.

Your preferences for software use is AOK with me.
I don't have to use it but it adds some useful things like when I have burned a dvd and reinsert the DVD43 face turns green to indicate it was recognized as a DVD-rom.
I know it will be compatible with my standalones.
If the face doesn't turn green I have a problem.
I also run it under Shrink most of the time. It doesn't slow it down and doesn't snag on any encryption.

First whether you are using Intel or AMD has nothing to do with software conflict.
The following is an extract from the information file included with DVD43.
DVD43 doesn?t have support for
De-Macrovison, it?s a choice?
Win95-98/ME ?I would say that these setups Don?t work? Wouldn't you?
Software talking directly to port drivers (Pinnacle, Blindwrite in async mode?
Requirements:
Patin Couffin access layer from vso-software must be installed. For that, any product
with Patin-Couffin (CopToDVD, Blindwrite, DVD X Copy Xpress shall be installed.
Patin Couffin 14 or above must be present on the sytem.
Issues with the Patin Couffin engine: Which DVD43 requires to work.
Note 1: A lot of users reported problems with NAV on some configurations. If you have MMC errors etc., please disable the anti-virus software during the writing process.
Note 2: A lot of users reported problems with VIA and nVidia low level drivers (i.e. IDE drivers). Sometimes Microsoft certified drivers work better, sometimes a new version of the drivers from VIA/nVidia can help. Please post your problems on the forums or contact us if you are unsure.
Remember that DVD43 requires the Patin Couffin engine.

Hey big orange, hope all noticed, I said DVD43 will work for most users, just that there are a few it can cause problems for. I hope all forgive me for suddenly turning stupid and being unable to load such a simple program and use it after my years of experience and entry level college courses on computers. Good post there sophocles.

For reference, what does anydvd do that warrants such praise and money. I used the demo but notice little of additional value. What did I miss.

Did you check it out with Recode or similar programs? An added plus is that it decrypts for most programs without going into a long process like shrink and decrypter. Decrypter and Shrink are excellent programs. There are also newer programs on the market that can use the difference offered.
All of these programs are good, some are better for particular applications.

DVD43 does this also. I use it with recode and the results are excellent.
I was hoping for something that Anydvd does differently or better.

I just downloaded and installed DVD43 from the official web site just moments ago and then I copied the information diretly from the read me files included with the application. Why would the author say that Patin couffin is needed if it's not true? And where did you hear that it was no lnger needed? Post the URL.

64026402, brobear is right on target, also Quote:
noticed little
, exactly, you don't notice it at all. I have yet to come across a movie anydvd didn't work with. You just go straight into whatever program you're using never even knowing it's there. Not knocking dvd43, it worked also. But brobear is not the only one I've heard having problems with it.

I just downloaded from afterdawn.com and noticed the note before download and in the read me file.
From DVD43 download area on afterdawn.com
UPDATE: DVD43 is now stand-alone, which means it now works without the VSO's Patin-Couffin driver. Also, support for Win9x/ME has been implemented.
As for anydvd I still haven't read anything hear about what additional features it has that are different from dvd43.
