Hey all,

I have been using dvd decryptor and dvd shrink to copy dvds...this is the only way i have been able to copy.

However on some dvds i dont seem to have enough space in my folder and get the following message....

DVD shrink has encountered an error and cannot continue.
There is not enough space on your target drive.
The system cannot find the path specified.

Ive tried clearing as much space as possible but there is not enough. Before i copy the dvd there is 10GB on my c drive but after copying to my hard drive (but before copying to a blankdvd) there is only 3.78GB.

I have looked through other messages and saw a message about Norton...i dont have Norton i have Grisoft.

Can anyone help please??????

You're gonna need about at least 10GB to rip an movie. And you are ripping w/ decrypt so the movie you just ripped isn't even 4 gigs, it's around 8 gigs b/c it hasn't been compressed yet.

Sorry but is it just a case of freeing up as much space as possible...i have tried doing this without much success and pointers on where i can free up space that i probably wouldnt have thought of????????

Yes it is, how big is your HD in the first place? Try deleting all the movies that you've already burnt since you don't really need them any more. DVD files take up a HUGE chunk of your HD. And run disk clean-up to get rid of about 200,000k. That's all I can really say b/c all those other stuff you probably need on you comp. Uninstall unnecesary porgrams as well.
