how do i fix this problem? when i try to open the disc of memoirs of a geisha a message pops up and says (error Invalid DVD Navigation Structure)
what do i do to try to fix it? any suggestions PLEASE!
Because DVDshrink is no longer updated, it can't handle the new sony or microvision copy protection being placed on some of the new movie releases, this can cause it to stop encoding or produce an error condition. DVD shrink can't handle this movie alone so.....
Keeping it FREE:
To get around this you could try a very good ripper/decrypter called DVDFab decrypter, it'a a whole movie ripper so you'll still need DVDshrink to reauthor the DVD if you want to remove any unwanted extras and shrink the files to fit onto a single layer DVD.Once DVDFab is done ripping, open the files using DVDshrink's open files tab and proceed using DVDshrink as usual.
Note: You might not need to do this with the current version of DVDFab, but.... If DVDshrink won't open the files ripped by DVDFab then you'll need to process them thru VobBlanker first (vobblanker will produce another set of files, put the files produced by vobblanker in another folder on you desktop and call it VIDEO_TS), once vobblanker is done open the files it produced using DVDshrink as described above.

The easiest way to get around the copy protection is to purchase Anydvd, it's a driver that runs in the backround helping DVDshrink crack the copy protection and produce a backup. It comes with a 21 day free trial, check it out here:
Download the free DVDFab Decrypter and rip to your HDD and then process with Shrink. You are getting this error because Shrink alone cannot handle the protection on it. If you have any problems processing with Shrink then run the file through the free program VobBlanker and then try Shrink again.
