I've been trying to make a backup of my Whitney Houston: The Greatest Hits DVD but failed miserably. Every time, it only encodes up to 57% then terminates with an error message saying, "DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. Failed to read file "F:" - Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"
Also, I have a problem backing up BIG FISH due to protection security. I've tried to play the DVD, pause it, then start DVD Shrink, but it doesn't seem to work. It finished burning to a DVD-R, but this DVD-R does not work at all.
Your help/advice is greatly appreciated.
Burn 'em all!

Hi calazn, The first error cyclic redundancy check, is usually do to a dirty or damaged disc you are trying to rip. It could also be from some corrupt data on the original that will play ok but will cause that error when being ripped.
The second problem may be corrected by trying to use DVdecrypter to rip instead of Shrink.

Jerry, thanks for your explanation.
I still have a few questions regarding your advice. If I use DVD Decrypter to rip the original DVD, would Decrypter automatically compress it for me so that I can burn that iso file to a DVD-R using Decrypter (the file would be too big to fit on a DVD-R if it was not compressed)? Or would I have to manually compress this iso file using DVD Shrink, then burn it with Decrypter?
Thanks!

calazn, welcome to our little Club,
As Jerry mentioned, it could be something as simple as a dirty disc -
However, in many cases it is actually the media itself. Burning DVD video is one of the hardest things your PC does. Having the proper media, a good quality, evenly applied dye on a decent composite disc is essential. This doesn't necessarily mean the most costly of media -
Ritek G04's, "Branded" Ritek and "Branded" Verbatim?s have some of the best records as reliable media. Ritek prices are not hard on the wallet either. We're talking about $.50 to $.70 (USD) each. Although prices vary, Mertline.com is a good place to check if you're in the U.S. and Newegg.com if you're in the U.K.
I suggest you try a few and see if that doesn't solve your problem :)
Cheers,
Pete

calazn,
To answer your second question, DVD Decrypter cannot compress.
You can use DVD Shrink to rip and automatically compress and then have DVD Decrypter burn it for you.
Here is a guide for just that purpose :)
Here you go, step by step - it can?t fail.
First create a folder for your HD backup. Try to put it someplace where you won?t forget it (i.e. C:/All DVD Work/My movie Name).
Next in DVD Decrypter and under mode select ?ISO, Write?. Un-tick the box that says ?verify?. Where it says ?source?, you?ll leave that blank as DVD Decrypter will find the location of your backed up DVD file automatically. Lastly, where it says ?Destination?, select the drive where your burner resides. Feel free to close DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink will open it when it needs it.
Next, open DVD Shrink, (make sure you have the latest version of DVD Shrink) click ?Edit?, then click ?Preferences? on this page we?re going to select ?DVD Target Size? as custom and set the size as 4360MB - we do this to make extremely sure that our disc isn?t too large. Then under the ?File I/O? tab "un-tick ?Enable burning with Nero? then click ?OK?.
The link for the newest DVD Shrink -
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm
Place your original DVD in your DVD-ROM drive and a DVD blank in your burner?s drive. If you have only a single drive, begin by placing your original in the drive first - When it necessary to put your blank in, you will be prompted to do so. DO USE Ritek G04, Verbatim or media boasting ?Advanced AZO Dye. All other media could very well cause errors, only the very best media should be used for DVD Video backups. Now is defiantly not the time to put your crappy cheap stuff in - )
Next click "Backup."
Now, take just a second and under ?Target Device? go to ?Select target device? once there, select ?ISO Disc Image?. NEXT, IMPORTANT, tick ?Launch DVD Decrypter to burn the output image? box. Finally, where it says ?Select target image file?, browse till you find your created folder for your backup and click ?Save?. That?s it ! Click ?OK? and DVD Shrink burns that ISO image to your HD. It then opens DVD Decrypter and has it burn the ISO image to your waiting blank DVD.
Don?t use your PC for anything at all while it?s working. -
I'M NOT KIDDING ! STAND BACK FROM THE COMPUTER !
* There have been issues where playing your DVD on your burner may result in errors during processing :-(
Enjoy,
Pete
