Region errors! How to fix them? I used DVDShrink 3.2 to re-author and backup to DVD, tried both Region-Free and Region 1. Both burns get region errors on my Sharp and Sony players, but of course play fine in my PC. Please give me some assistance on this...
My burner is a TSSTCorp DVD+-RW TS-H653B. I tried Verbatim DVD+RW 4X and VERBATIM 16X DVD-RW.
Thx,
Geoff

If one were to read the multiple pages at hand, one would find multiple solutions to backing this film up.

Did you set the software AND the hardware drive itself both to region 1?

Which software programs are you using to rip and burn? Also give version numbers.
Are you using Vista? 32 or 64?

My son gave me his backup file in avi format, which I converted to DVD format with Win AVI 9.0. I still have the avi file if we need to back up a step and repeat this with a different tool.
Following the instructions at the beginning of this thread, I used DVDShrink to re-author the DVD files. In the Backup step, I made the changes for Region: first time specified Region-Free and next time Region 1. Both get region errors on both the Sony and Sharp players. DVDShrink burned it at 2.4x onto the DVD+RW platter and at 8x on the DVD-R. I didn't go max speed on either one.
Any ideas?

Yep the avi that you downloaded is a different region. This isn't something Shrink can fix.
You need to convert the avi from PAL to NTSC or vice versa depending on which region you are in.
Nero Vision will do this and so does ConvertXtoDVD. I do not know about WinAVI.
You can also try vobblanker - vobblanker will 'mask' the files fooling the dvd player into thinking it's the right region/format. You need to use the files Shrink saved to your hard drive - this will not work w/ an avi.
This method does not always work w/ all dvd players though. See this thread on vobblaker - link

Happy Burning!
Thanks for the very helpful and direct info, I had 5.1 and after updating to 5.2.2.2 it worked great. There are several titles out there with "redundancy errors" either bad burns or by intention. Thanx again for sharing.

Once again....
The sure-fire way is:
1. Rip to hard disk with ANY DVD.
2. Then, open files with DVD Shrink.
3. If you have Vista 64 bit you then have to manually open the file and burn with Nero. Because the newest versions of Nero don't like DVD Shrink.
OR.... use DvdFab 5.2.2.2 as mentioned in the post above.

hi all,
Spent some time reading all the forums and after a considerable length of time have successfully backed up the dark knight by using DVD fab 5.2.1.2, (probably nothing special now but all the same...) ran it through dvd shrink (movie only) to get the .VOB file, however i am struggling to convert this to Mpeg4 to use on my ipod (Im hoping this isnt against the rules) & this is my own copy etc. and apologies if theres a different thread to use, just figured that this seemed the most appropriate.
I have successfully done it this way with other titles,
Im using Videora converter 4.04 to convert the files but get the same error that seems to be a common problem, however with so many threads and so little time i was hoping someone might have a quick answer.
The error is:
Your video failed to convert, error code:100503
Your video could not be converted due to bad bit rate, frame rate or resolution setting.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have tried DVD Smith on many movies. The results do not come close to DVDFab or AnyDVD. Most bad sectors are not removed. A user has to be really experienced in other software in order to clean up these files. Even FixVTS cannot clean everything that DVD Smith leaves behind. While DVDFab does not produce the cleanest rips, it does a hell of a lot better than DVD Smith.
I do not recommend this software to anyone who is serious about making a good clean backup.

Strongly recommended!
Methinks you're spamming us.
Dialysis is right on, i wouldn't use or recommend this software to anyone who wants a good, quality backup.

I know this is like the thread that will not die (sorry!), but I am having a heck of a time getting this to properly rip and burn. I've read through the thread, but the info is a little sparse for what little experience I have with making backups. I've always used DVDFab (the free version) and Nero Recode with great success, so bear with me.
Here are all the things I've tried, and of all those tries, I've ended up with the same number of discs that are either unplayable, or are only playable in my computer, but not in a regular, stand-alone dvd player. Some of the steps may be a little confounded in my head because at this point, I have a stack of useless dvd's and I've tried every option that seems like it'll work, and the process to get said unplayable dvd's has basically been guesswork within all the programs I'm trying to run.
If anyone has some helpful advice or a kindergarten walkthrough of what programs to use, in which order, with what options checked, I would appreciate it so very much. From what I'm gathering, I have the right programs, but something, somewhere, isn't quite right, and I'm not sure if it's a setting on my end or if I've somehow gotten the names of the programs all confuddled in my head (DVDFab, DVDDecryptor, DVDFab HD, etc., etc. all kind of start to look the same after a while).
-I used DVDFab Platinum 5.2.2.2 to rip folders to my hard drive (sorry, I'm not quite sure what that process is called...I know the other way to rip is to .iso, but that's about it). Got the video and audio folders, and attempted to burn the contents of the video folder with Nero Recode 6, and ended up with a disc with the folders burned onto it, but of course, it wasn't playable.
-With the files previous ripped, I used DVD Shrink 3.2 to shrink them using the "backup" button. I selected my "backup target" as "iso image and burn with DVD Decryptor", then selected my second drive as my "target image file", and it burned successfully, or so I thought. It was playable in my computer, but not on the stand-alone dvd player.
-I went through the same process as above, but instead did "select backup target: > iso image file", and saved it to my desktop. Then I tried burning with Active Iso Burner, which gave me another disc that wouldn't play in the player.
-Used DVDFab Platinum 5.2.2.2 to try to burn the full disc directly from the movie in the drive onto another disc in my secondary drive. The only option checked was "copy dvd-video (video_ts folder)", and this resulted in what DVDFab told me was an error (wish I'd saved the error message now, but in my frustration, I closed it). Again, it was playable in my computer, but not on the stand-alone dvd player.
At this point, I can't see any options that I haven't tried, and I'm not sure if I'm just missing a checkbox somewhere, or if I'm royally screwing up this whole process by missing a crucial step. I am completely lost here, and if anyone can help, I'll name my first born after you*.
(*ok, not really, unless you have a really awesome name, but I WILL be forever grateful)
