Good morning, I'm getting the message "DVD shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. There is not enough space on your target drive". I get this message when I put a brand new disc in either of my dvd drives (burners). I know just enough about computers in general to be dangerous so please respond as if you're talking to a five year old!! Thanks in advance to any responses.
Assuming that there is enough space on the hard drive to accommodate the files (14 to 20 GB of space would be nice), then use another program to rip the DVD before letting DVD Shrink use it.
A good ripping program is the (free) DVDFab HD Decrypter.
Insert disk, run program select 'Main Movie' or 'Full Disk'
Save the output to a folder.
Then load that folder into DVD shrink.

There are two possible reasons for this error message:
1) Your hard drive is close to being full and therefore not enough space is available on it for the file storage.
2) Shrink is outdated (no longer supported) and therefore is unable to decrypt the DVD correctly, so shrink produces this error message and others as well.
So:
1) Check your hard drive to see if it's getting close to being full, if so, try and regain as much space as possible by removing large files you don't need anymore, you might also consider getting a larger hard drive. Try and regain at least 16GB.
2) If the hard drive isn't getting full and plenty of space is available, it most likely a copy protection issue shrink isn't able to handle. If this is the case, a free alternative to shrink (for the ripping process) is DVDFab HD decrypter, you can use it to rip to your hard drive, then open the files using shrink and proceed as you normannly would with the backup process.

Didn't mean to echo what you stated, just had a problem with posting, had to try several times before it went thru.
