I am trying to use DVD Shrink for zathura. I am getting an error message when i open disc - invalid dvd navigation structure. Any ideas on how to copy it - at the moment i can't even open it. It plays ok on the computer.

Use a free program called DVDFab Decrypter, it will break the encryption while ripping the movie onto your HDD http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm and here is a guide http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=51904

When finished ripping just use shrink to compress like you usually do and burn with your buning software.

When you run shrink you should shutdown all other programs you are not using, like virus and firewall, the internet. You should leave the pc alone till the transcoding has finished. Shrink uses 100% of your cpu so running anything else could make shrink not work properly and run into errors.

In other words "get off the internet" while shrink works! :)

If it has not worked look below

This is what to do if you are having trouble backing up your movies:

Here is the free way of making perfect backups:

1) DVDFab Decrypter - this wil break the movies encryption while ripping the movie to your HDD

http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm

2) VobBlanker - Not always needed, but it will get rid of any protection that DVDFD left behind. VobBlanker also allows you to blank,replace,cut and strip titles.

http://www.jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm

3) DVDShrink - this will allow you to compress the movie to fit onto a blank DVD-5 disc. Select your output as an ISO image

4) Imgburn - the best free burner around

http://www.imgburn.com/

Here are some guides:

The other free option:

Use RipIt4Me. I do not know anything about ripit4me so I will leave you with the excellent guide by arnibear. You can also download it from the same link

The other way $$$$$

AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie. All you have to do is start up AnyDVD and continue using your normal compression engine, whether it's shrink, recode or CloneDVD, It's that easy.

Before you pay for this excellent program you have a 21 day trial

What else to do if the above does not work:

1) Update your dvdwriters firmware

2) Invest in good quality media Taiyo Yuden and Verbatims are best

3) Check your dvd's for dirt, scratches

4) clean your dvd

If your dvd still does not back up, you most properbly have a badly authord dvd, so your only solution is to exchange it.

Another small and cool program which removes protection is FreeDVD. It is on the same web site as DVDFabDecryptor. I have been using it for a while and can't remember any program it didn't work on. Oh, and it is free.
