I have two computers.

If I run one computer using DVD Shrink 3.1.7.6, I get "Copy Protection Error".
Take the DVD out and put it in the other computer, run DVD Shrink and I have no problems.

Am I missing something? ie codecs???

Any ideas guys, freaking the life out of me..

Thanks in advance

If you get a "Copy Protection Error" when using DVD Shrink with Nero, please try some or all of the following:

Try playing the DVD for a few seconds with your software player (WinDVD, PowerDVD, Etc...), pause it, then start the DVD Shrink process. I also have seen other reports where people have had to play the DVD for over ten minutes before they got rid of that error.

Try un-checking "Enable burning with Nero" in the "Edit >> Preferences >> File I/O" menu.
You will still be able to burn your backups with Nero manually as usual or automatically with DVD Decrypter or CopyToDVD. It doesn't matter that Nero is not burning when you get that error. Just having it enabled can cause that error on many computers. It has to do with the way that DVD Shrink and the Nero interact.

Try opening Nero Burning ROM and leaving it open while using DVD Shrink.

Try ripping the DVD to the hard disk drive first with DVD Decrypter.

Try using region-free software like DVD43, AnyDVD or DVD RegionFree.

I think I solved my problem.

The computer I was getting the "Copy Protection Error" on only had a demo version of Nero, after I put in the serial number in, the error message went away.

That was the only difference I had between my two computers. One Demo version of Nero and one Full version.

Thanks to one and all.
