That looks like a Nero log error. If so, I need to look at the entire log. I've used Decrypter, Shrink and a host of software without those errors or software interference. When using recording software, don't leave some on and try to use others unless they're intended for use together. For instance AnyDVD causes problems with RI4M and DVDFab. Your recommendation to your daughter was a good one. Hopefully you directed her to the RI4M website so she could read the guide. There's an exe that can be switched out with Shrink 3.2 which allows Shrink to auto burn with ImgBurn. With that there is speed control. Most people don't burn over 8X and with 16X media, the chances of writing errors increase. Here's the link, instructions included in the download.

Thanks for the link. I will be updating both of my machines.
I did refer my daughter to the RI4M site and guide.
I have seen prior writings regarding AnyDVD running in the background. Is it the only one that does that? Oh, how do I go about accessing the Nero 6 error logs?

For the path to Nero 6 error logs you'll need to look around the Nero section or maybe someone else can help. I have Nero 7 and I remember the path is different. It's been so long since I used Nero 6, I don't remember the exact path.
DVD43 is a freeware similar to AnyDVD. I only wish it on my enemies. LOL I guess you can tell what I think of it. DVDIdle has DVD Region + CSS Free, also a retail product. Of the driver type decrypters, I'd say AnyDVD is probably the best. I own it, but have been using RipIt4Me due to recent problems slysoft has had updating for the newer copy protections.

Ok, as you can see I'm a newbie, and I really have been reading through this post and have tried cleaning my disk, letting it run and everything. My question is about getting a CRC notification when trying to burn a copy of a backup dvd. This all happened b/c I foolishly deleted the .iso from my computer but anyway... I have a backup copy of magnolia and I used DVD Shrink to rip the movie onto my computer and then DVD Decrypter to put it on the 4.7 gb DVD+R. The problem occurs when i put this backup dvd back into my computer and try to use DVD Shrink on it. The CRC message comes up and I really don't get what to do. It comes up after about 2 percent is complete and doesn't want to budge any further. All of the settings for DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink were on default while burning the original and while trying to make a copy of the backup. I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with the actual dvd drive itself because this problem never happens when i'm trying to backup a movie from an original copy but if anyone could help that would be awesome.

I'll assume the DVD is clean and shiny on the playing surface. Usually if you have unencrypted files, which a copy is, and DVD Shrink won't open them, you have a structural problem. Most likely it's bad sectors due to burn errors. I've had this happen to me and to date I still don't know why. Media was from a good batch. One bad burn out of hundreds with the burner. I used the same software. My errors were periodic across the disc. Just can't figure it and I know how everything works. But back to your problem. If you have Nero or a similar program with utilities, run a scan to see if you have bad sectors. The free DVDInfoPro will do the needed scan. If the problem, bad sectors will show up on the disc where you encounter the problem.
What was I thinking? If you had Nero, you would have been using the copy utility. ;)

What do you know, you were right. I ran the Dvd info pro check and there were a lot of bad sectors. Now is there anything I can do to copy this disk or can I just enjoy the copy I have? The only thing that makes me kinda mad is that when you use DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter arn't they supposed to make exact copies of the disk, so why are there bad sectors to begin with? But if you could give me little advice on what to do now that I've realized the disk has bad sectors and how to fix it, my friend and I would greatly appreciate it.

There's no way of repairing bad sectors. I used to use a program named DVDXRescue, but the company is long since out of business and the software took online activation. I don't know what recovery software is available nowadays. It's a long process and a less than desirable outcome when done. I'd just enjoy the badkup and go about getting another DVD if/when your current copy gets messed up.
Shrink and Decrypter don't make exact copies, unless you're going 1:1 with DL. Decrypter is no longer a desirable burner, especially with the faster media available now. ImgBurn (which is the updated Decrypter burner software) is a better choice. It has speed control as well as more function. Did I mention faster burns can lead to a higher possibility of write errors?

Ok so i read all the thread, tried all that was mentioned. I tried doing two movies. Both by the same studio and the copy portion stopped at the same exact place, then i tired a third movie, same studio and again it stopped at the same exact place. What am i missing here, i tried cleaning the discs, i tried using other "weapons" and the disk will just not copy and I tried with diffrent copies of each movie. Any ideas would be appritiated.

Were you getting the cyclic redundancy error? Did you do a Read Test Scan of each DVD? It's a remote possibility, but a series of bad presses can happen. You gave us no info as to the movie or the studio and we have no idea of your system resources. Did you try a backup program besides Shrink?

Hi,
I have experienced this problem many times in the past. I have found if you use a program called DvdFab Platinum and use the gold mode, then the wizard, and then choose to copy the whole disk uncompressed, it allows you to copy the disc to your HDD and removes the protection on the discs which i believe causes the CRC problem, then you can use DVD Shrink to compress it in what way you like.
Im not sure if this has been posted previously but if it hasnt i hope this will help with this problem.

If using DVDFab Platinum, why use DVD Shrink? On most releases the free DVDFab HD Decrypter will handle the copy protection. It's the same decryption software as in the Platinum. The platinum includes the backup and burning options, besides the decryption software. FixVTS is one of the easier programs for compliance processing when the decryption software doesn't do the entire job. If FixVTS doesn't do the job there is VobBlanker for more in depth compliance processing. I've seen where some recommend processing with FixVTS before using the files in VobBlanker.
Cyclic redundancy isn't much of a problem as long as the user knows what it is and the process for correcting. When Saw 3, region 1, first came along, it was weeks before DVDIdle was up to speed and it took Slysoft a while on that one for the full DVD.

I start by going to DVD Shrink and hitting open disk. It bypasses the 30 second quick analyzing mode and goes straight to analysing the DVD. At 14% it stops. The thing is i have burned the dvd before and it has worked fine. SO i try to get another copy because i already deleted it from my HD and now this crap starts. Im using Sony DVD-R and the dvd im trying to shrink is Borat. The fact that i have shrunk the dvd before and it works fine is confusing me. Please help me!

Hi zillm7360,
You may not like this suggestion but, somehow it seems that your source DVD has been damaged since your last copy. I would first try and recover the deleted copy of Borat from the hard drive using an undelete utility and use it to make more copies. You will never recover the data lost on the DVD!!
Good Luck

Once you do a DVD the quick analysis file is stored in a hidden file. You have to delete the quick analysis file for a quick analysis to be repeated. So, that's normal. Being as how you're stopping at 14% each time, that indicates a problem with the disc. Have you made sure it is clean and shiny? Fingerprints and smudges can cause a read problem. Check for a scratch. Normally if a disc has worked properly, a failure to read comes about by some kind of physical damage. You can do a read scan to find out if there are bad sectors, if you don't see a physical flaw.

zillm7360,
From a newbie in training, not to belabor a point, I was having I/O sector problems today(as though I understand this stuff). In my case, pulled the new blank out of the burning drive, looked very closely and saw a spot from lint or something like that and also noticed my fingerprint. Cleaned it off, tried to burn again, no success. Put in a fresh blank...bingo, bango burn completed with no problems... and kept my fingers out of the way. For whatever it is worth, my observation is that you can have "unseen" problems with a source or burning DVD and the only thing to do is replace it or burn the movie(particularly if you don't plan to keep it),as I sometimes do, to a +/-RW, on a stand alone, watch it then write over it later with something new. Hope things work out for you.

Thank you, ScubaPete, for your help on the settings for DVDDecrypter. Your post was 2 years old, but it has helped. I bought the first season of Riptide (1984 TV show) and found that the 3rd disk--right out of the box, unscratched, no visible damage (3rd episode on the 3rd disk actually) skipped and froze almost every DVD player I tried it on. I bought it online from a national retailer, but by the time I got to the bad sector/disk, it was too late to warranty. I found one player to play it fully (a VHS <--> DVD recorder/player/dubber), and one Sony external DVD-ROM. I wanted to make a copy of the one disk to play on any DVD player. I don't feel like this is violating copyright, because I BOUGHT the set, and cannot easily watch ONE disk! I am presently using DVDShrink to make a backup. I will burn both the DVDShrink and DVDDecrypter versions and see how they turn out! :)

A lot has happened in the past 2 years. For older movies DVD Decrypter works okay. Most of the new releases with ARccOS, especially those with multiple bogus files, prevent DVD Decrypter from making a clean rip. RipIt4Me was a good freeware choice, it uses DVD Decrypter in the process. However, it is no longer supported due to legal problems. DVDIdle is still giving away DVDFab HD Decrypter, which does a good job.
What I'm saying is your decryption software is obsolete, you need to seriously consider upgrading your programs. If you like DVD Decrypter, go with RipIt4Me till copy protection comes along to make it obsolete. Also, get DVDFab HD Decrypter and learn to use it as well. Hopefully DVDIdle will keep it a freeware program.

PACMAN777,
RI4M in combnation with IMGBurn is working pretty well for me right now. I had a commercial operaton convert my 40 yr old super8 movies of my kids to a digital tape and a DVD. Once I got the DVD, I just used RI4M, to make duplicate copies for family members. I'm sure there are simpler possibly more effecient ways, but I'm just plain spoiled to using RI4M. I have a 1.7xxx ver on my laptop and 1.6xxx on my PC. If I have to clean and reformat those hdd's and since RI4M is no longer supported, will I need to consider going to DVDFAB hd Decrypter? I currently have DVDFAB Platinum on my pc? Thankyou for any input and/or proper direction for my questions.

With copying the Super 8 to DVD, I don't think the studio would add copy protection. No copy protection, no need for RI4M. If it's just copy, ImgBurn can handle that or use most any burn suite with the copy DVD function. If the studio put the files on a dual layer DVD and you want some DVD5(s), that takes some transcoding or encoding. It just depends on what you want to do.
Version 1.7.1.0 was the last RI4M, so if I was you, I'd have that one on all the systems being used for bypassing copy protection. DVDFab HD Decrypter won't be needed until a new copy protection comes along to render RI4M obsolete. In the end it's preference that wins out. If the software you're using is doing what you want and you're happy with it, there's not a whole lot of reason to change till it let's you down (even if some steps may not be necessary).

quote=PacMan777,
thanx for the updated info, but scubapete's settings helped me on a new (Anchor Bay) release. I thought it was a bad burn, but after using a disk recovery program (for HDD but will work on DVD and CD too) I found the file sructure to have a lot of bogus data on that one episode (3 of 5), so maybe they tried to copyguard it in a spoilsport sort of way... anyhow, the dvdshrink version burned nicely and plays on every player I have. the decrypter version was too large so I just saved it as a backup if anything goes wrong with the disc.
If the DVD drive in my notebook fails to recognize a disk, then the disk has some new copyguarded whatsit on it...but it will play thru the external dvd burner I have, but I have to re-author on dvdshrink. The only disk with problems outside the norm was the TV show one (came out in 2006) I haven't had any other setbacks from my outdated dvd back-up software (even the original Star Wars trilogy copied, but it was the crappy re-re-re-release so I deleted it and bogught the original theatrical versions)
:-D

Thank you again, as always. Situation and Question: I have a "saved" copy of RI4M VER 1.7.1.0. on my laptop's Desktop. I copied it to my PC's desktop, then sent it to Program Files, to install[onto my PC] from that location. I did set a Restore Point,first, uninstall ver 1.6xxx, then installed 1.7.1.0 with no success. It seemed to be looking for [now defunct]website assistance for installation. I uninstalled 1.7.1.0. and attempted another install, to no avail. Is it just me or are there other problems after all?
