Try ripping the disc to your hd using DVDFAB HD Decrypter then opening it up in shrink.

Two things:




1) Just out of curiosity, are you running windowblinds or any such application that applies different skins to your OS? If so, then trun it off or disable it, such applications tend to hide certain files or options from DVDshrink, trun off the application and retry.

2) If you're not running an OS skinning application that's hiding files from shrink and your video files are in that folder, then based on the picture/error....

-Shrink needs to see a VIDEO_TS folder containing your video files in order to open them the way you're trying to. So enter the my videos folder and create a VIDEO_TS folder, then put all of your video files in it (copy\paste). Once that's done, have shrink try and open the files highlighting the VIDEO_TS folder.

The path should look something like this:
My Documents\my videos\VIDEO_TS

-Or if the files are indeed in your my videos folder, you need to enter that folder and highlight the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and click ok to open the files.

Use Anydvd and believe
