Have a workout tape, from Australia, that shrink, dycrypter, AnyDvd, DVDXpress, nothing would copy. Would go all the way to 95% then either lock up or give error message. Thought it might be too scratched up, so had it polished, and still the same problem. So, decided, maybe it was just a bad scratch, and copied it to a VHS. Thought I would then, copy it back to a DVD, and WOW.. went to copy it to DVD and the burner went into 'pause'.. and said it can't copy, the signal is protected! Has anyone ever run into this before?

Try ripping the DVD with DVDFab decrypter, it's alot more forgiving when it comes to scratched disks (if this is the case). You can then use shrink if the file size is too big to fit on a DVD-5.

I run into the problem occasionally with scratched up discs I get at yard sales.

AnyDVD is kept up to date and is the best decryption tool available. I use it with DVD Decrypter. I use Decrypter because it is a good ripper and I like "ripping" files to the HD for use in encoding. With those two, watch the speed that the files are being ripped. Watch the DVD Decrypter window for the performance readings. Normally I see speeds of 5X to 8X or more. Scratched up discs cause the speed to drop. If the speed drops down to 0 it can still be reading at very low speeds, when it stops, the log in Decrypter starts giving the can't read message. If that's what is happening, you have a bad disc. I've been able to use a resurfacing tool on occasion to save a disc. If the scratch is too deep, nothing will help. Is the disc scratched up and scratchs still showing after the polishing? What is the exact wording of the error message?

to update you ... I downloaded DVDFab Express (lol, thought that was the free one) And it allowed me to do 'main movie' only, and it copied. What I was asking above that I had never seen before was the fact that I copied it to a VHS tape, and the DVD burner wouldn't let me copy back to a DVD because it was "signal protected". I already tried decrypter w/ AnyDVD, and VOBlocker, shrink, etc.. So was wondering if anyone had ever tried to copy a VHS tape and got the message that the signal was protected. Used to, if you tried to copy a VHS tape with microvision to another tape, it just came out 'bad' with 'breathing colors, or some other problem. I have never run into 'signal protected' before.
