i bought any dvd a long time ago a year, maybe 2, and for the longest time it worked perfectly with shrink, but within the last 6-12 months or so they have not worked together. i have taken both programs completly off my system and reloaded them several times. i just did this actually a week ago for the last time.
problem: after anydvd reads the disc i open dvd shrink and analyze the disc(that part works fine) when i hit back up, after about 10 seconds it stops and pops up an error window saying that there is a protection error and shrink cannot continue. this only occurs with originals, even older movies like taking lives i just tried 2 days ago and didnt work, (which i had no problem with when it first came out using these same programs) i can back up a back-up with no problem at all using both programs.
i have the newest version of both programs...whats the problem????
can it be used the way it used to be, all in one process? thats what i loved about it....:( or does it have to be ripped and then shrunk?
i usually use ripit4me, all one process, but if this saves time, ill try it that way.
The reason you are probably having the problems is the newer encryptions and other crap the studios are putting on the DVD's. I do not recommend that you do the DVD's "on the fly" as you will probably get incomplete rips and problems. Once AnyDVD rips the DVD to the HD you can then process the files w/ Shrink

Agreed. All I ever do now is rip the DVDs first. I personally don't want the disc spinning the entire time.
Latest AnyDVD to rip > VOBB to blank the unwanted on a DVD > Shrink to compress > ImgBurn to burn = Never starting a thread asking how to backup a movie
