What is the best way to burn SAW 3 with DVD Decrypter, dvdfab decrypter, DVD Shrink, and Nero? Someone please help because this is the most I have every had trouble with a movie.
King007,
Ripit4Me which utilizes DVDDecrypter will rip the movie to HD for you and then bring up Shrink after it processes it w/ FixVTS. Make sure you use the 1-Click Mode as that is really fool-proof.

The Free way to do DVD backups (Including Saw III:Unrated)
or a RipIt4Me Quick Start Guide.
Round up your Software for the installation if you don't already have them installed.
Steps:
1) Install DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. Note: Shrink and Decrypter need to be installed before RipIt4Me.
If already installed you're ahead of the game. LOL
2)Use the RipIt4Me installer. It installs RipIt4Me and a version of FixVTS. Let the program install to the default directory (unless there's a particular reason you can't), C:\Program Files\RipIt4Me .
3)Update FixVTS if necessary. The current version for update is 1.6.0.3. Open the FixVTS 1.6.0.3 and copy the FixVTS.exe into the RipIt4Me folder in Program Files to replace the version already there.
RipIt4Me is now installed and ready to operate. If the above steps were followed, the paths in RI4M should already be set. You can check the paths to DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, and FixVTS
(Open Logs/Settings - Preferences - Program Paths. See #2 in 2nd image below.)
When in the RipIt4Me Preferences window you can rest the cursor over a setting and a box will open explaining the function. (#1 in image above, cursor isn't visible over command setting, but explanation box is showing. Use this function as much as possible to learn commands for RipIt4Me) Also Reading the short official guide would be a good idea.
Leave the update notification on and keep the software updated for best results.
Hint (nothing to do with RI4M, but a good idea): If you had FixVTS installed before you will now have 2 instances, wherever you had it before and in the RipIt4Me folder. To keep from getting myself confused, I removed an old version of FixVTS I had previously installed. I left the version in RipIt4Me. If you choose to do the same delete the old version and remove any shortcut you had for it. Go to Start/All Programs/RipIt4Me and right click on the FixVTS shortcut and Copy and then Paste the shortcut to the Desktop. This allows you a desktop shortcut for FixVTS when you want to use it without RI4M. You can always access it in Start/All Programs/RipIt4Me, but I like the quicker access.
4)Make sure all on-the-fly decryption software is off. If you make a mistake it gives a warning.
5)Put the DVD in the drive.
6)Open RipIt4Me and Select Wizard or 1-Click Mode. I'd suggest 1-Click because it does everything the wizard does automatically.
7)When the Step 1 - Pick Drive, Target Folder and Rip Mode window opens be sure all boxes are checked under FixVTS settings. (Picture above)
If Process in place is left unchecked you will get a backup of your original files from before FixVTS processing. With a 7GB DVD it would take up 14GB on the hard drive. It's optional, some may want the backup files. Remember the backup is the original unprocessed and possibly noncompliant files.
Be sure the Rip settings output is set to what you want.
8)Click Next Now you wait for RipIt4Me to rip and process the files. The files will be copied to the target Directory listed (or selected) in the Step 1 - Pick Drive, Target Folder and Rip Mode window.
9)The cleaned files will be opened in DVD Shrink automatically. The quick analysis checks the files for compliance.
If the files open properly, you should have compliant files.
At this point RipIt4Me is complete, it's finished the job of cleaning the files and making them compliant. The files are now cleaned and can be used in almost any editing, transcoding or encoding program.
10) Since the files are open in DVD Shrink and we want a free backup we'll continue on. Remember from this point on it is purely Shrink and nothing more to do with RipIt4Me.
Select either Full Disc or Re-author
11)Click Backup to open the Backup window.
12)While in the Backup Window Check the Quality Settings if the compression is very high. This takes longer but the quality of the video output is better. (Image above)
King007,
It looks from the error message that you have a bad spot and it is causing an error. Try cleaning the DVD real well and then try again. If it fails again then you need to return the DVD for and exchangebecause of the bad mastering error
