crimson,
The DVD you are trying to backup is protected by the Sony ARccOS copy protection system. DVD Shrink can't handle this protection on it's own so it's going to need a little help.

Try ripping the DVD to your HDD using a free ripper/decrypter called DVDFab decrypter, you can get it here;

Here's a guide on how to use DVDFab if needed;

Once DVDFab is done open the files created with DVD shrink and process as usual (in shrink use the open files tab and browse to the VIDEO_TS folder created by DVDFab and choose it to open the files).

I recommend reauthoring the DVD to backup just the main movie and 5.1 AC3 english audio channel, here's a guide if needed;

If DVD shrink still gives you a problem with opening the files, then you need to process them thru Vobblanker first then open the new files created by vobblanker with DVD shrink as described.

get vobblanker here;
