Hello, Ive been looking over the posts here for a few days, Ive been able to succesfully download and use: shrink 3.1,dvd decrypter, and nero 6 to burn copies. Prior to this site Ive been using dvd x copy platinum which Ive set to the side to expand my horizons. The reason for my post is I have had 2(5) dvds that I turned into coasters, specifically they burned with ease, though when I played them in my standalone or my pc they got stuck after I hit play on the main menu. it showed the warning screens then continued to the 2nd chapter which says the "interviews and commentaries are for entertainment only" etc.This screen continues to repeat Until I hit the next chapter button. sort of like a disc that skips in your cd player only with a video. When the next chapter button is hit the "special features" screen shows up (it should be the movie). ive re-burned "basic" using the programs mentioned above keeping in vob format and in iso with the same results, I use the "automatic method" for both nero and decryptor after using shrink. I have had to go back to dvd x copy platinum to have success on these movies. any ideas why this might be happening? oh yes and I did not reauther anything I just removed the auido, and subpictures in languages other then english. I did this by un-checking them in shrink. My setup is:
burner: sony dru-530A(firmware is updated)
pc: amd athlon 1.2 ghz, 640 mb ram, 40 gb hd, and Im using windows xp professional.
vid card: geforce mx 400
media: memorex dvd+r's (Ive just ordered some ritek +r's from meritline per all the praise about this brand.) I dont think they make the go3 grade a's in +r's.. I hope that doesnt matter.
If searched the forums with no success, any help here would be appreciated.

It happened again, on "identity"... What the heck am I doing wrong? I have had successful copies this way.

If I read this correctly you are doing whole disk. I did both of those but did movie only. Start using RW's and I want you to do movie only and see if that works. Do you need the guides to do Movie only? I really think it is a Media problem. Memorex has a lot of companies that manuf. their disks and most are not quality disks.

I burned the whole disk that is correct, the movie is on both of these discs I burned i just have to enter them through scene selection, seems to me the menu is messed up. ill get some rw's that should save me some money ...

also its not the media, I played the file in power dvd using what was put on the hard drive, it does the same thing as the dvd... so its somewhere between the disk entering the computer and shrink finishing the backup..

I've noticed the same issues with DVD Shrink on my stand-alone player. I don't know if it's something that Nero buggers up on or what in the burning phase potentially.

My recommendation: If it ain't broke why fix it? If DVD Xcopy works then I'd continue to use it until it doesn't work anymore. That's just my own personal opinion but then I'm lazy - when I find something that works I stick to it. I've had great success with DVD Decrypter and Nero Recode but for some reason those movies just do not want to play on my stand-alone Allegro ABV-341 (Zenith unit) properly. Skips/stutters but they play perfectly on my Polaroid.

If I do a movie with DVD Xcopy the copies play perfectly on both. The only difference I can really note is the fact that DVD Xcopy uses the Patton Couffin interface for burning. I also notice that to do Nightmare on Elm Street 2 (I never had real success for this playing properly in my Zenith until now with Xcopy) that it took 50+ minutes to do a backup with the encoding phase of either Shrink/Recode2. With Xcopy it took 28 minutes to read the DVD and another 13-14 minutes at 4x. Kprobe2 results were fantastic with a PO average of 2.02 and PI average of 0.01 so it was by no means a coaster. This is with using Ritek/Ridata 4x DVD+R media with a DVD-Rom booktype.

I really can't complain about Xcopy at this point, guess I'll keep using it here and see how I continue to do. I'd recommend the same really - as I said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

What is a dvd-rom booktype? I unchecked it thinking that was what was causing the problem...

I have the same issue I'm trying to get around now. I'm using Shrink 3.1 to copy the DvD to my hard drive, then using CloneDvD2 to copy it from my hard drive to a blank DvD+R. Movies come out great, but I never get the main menu. It's driving me crazy and would really like to know what I'm doing wrong so I can include the main menu on movies I back up from here on out. Thanks for any help

I'm not exactly sure what you guys are saying. Here's the rule: if you copy the entire disc to disc in shrink and only compress, the menu will work. If you do ANY re-authoring in shrink, menu function is destroyed and it will not work. Nero's recode, which works a lot like shrink, preserves menu function even after re-authoring.


GO VOLS !
