DVD Shrink can't backup some DVDs

There are certain DVDs that DVD Shrink can't backup. DVD Shrink is not updated any more and there have been released new protection systems after that the latest DVD Shrink version was released. In this thread you will also find a list of problematic movies that will give you problem in DVD Shrink. You will also find a list of solutions in this thread with other decrypting/ripping tools that will solve this problem.


A list of protection systems that DVD Shrink can't handle:


Type 1: Sony's DVD protection system ARccOS? - Bad Sectors



DVD Shrink can't backup movies with Sony's DVD protection system ARccOS?. Affected movies are mostly region 1 and 2 DVDs. This protection system uses deliberately created bad sectors that will cause a reading error when DVD Shrink tries to read the DVD.

Type 2: Corrupt video data in unreferenced material

There is a video in VIDEO_TS.VOB where a kid jumps in the air, played over and over. DVD Shrink can't handle this video. It's a hidden video clip which are usually put in the subpictures.

Other types of new copy protection systems:

Settec Alpha-DVD and Puppetlock are other new copy protection systems.

How do you know that there is this new protection systems on the DVD?

If you insert the DVD in DVD Decrypter and check out the log file - you should see this:


Code:
W 20:14:19 Possible Structure Protection Found!
W 20:14:19 5 areas have been marked as 'suspect'.
W 20:14:19 Dummy sectors will be inserted where necessary.This is just a guess from the program. To know if the guess was right - you should also find rows like these:


Code:
W 01:02:30 Inserting Dummy Sectors... (LBA: 212897 - 212943)
I 01:02:30 Extracting Sectors...
W 01:02:30 Inserting Dummy Sectors... (LBA: 213107 - 213519)
I 01:02:30 Extracting Sectors...
