i have successfully used dvd shrink several times. it seems though that only about half the movies i try to back up are successfully written to an iso image. i get a similar error message with each movie. it is something like failed to write xxx_xx_xx.vob file. access is denied. it keeps happening towards the end of the process usually with 70+% already completed. i have tried decrypting the dvds with dvd decrypter onto the hard drive and then using dvd shrink, but i get the same error when i am using dvd shrink. this is also confusing....i tried re-authoring the dvd to just have the movie without anything else since it got past those files before and it was a vob file in the extras it was having a problem with. however it then gave the same error but with a vob file that it had gotten past before. here is just some miscellaneous information that might be helpful in figuring out the problem:
it is version 3.1....should be the newest, i just downloaded it less than a month ago
movies ive had problems with: life of brian, road to perdition (both needed compressed to fit on a single dvd+r). i have successfully compressed movies to fit on a single dvd+r with dvd shrink before.
i am trying to create an iso disc image file. should i try backing it up to files on the hard drive and then burning with those files instead of the disc image?
i have been running it in low priority mode, but not using the computer...i unchecked low priority mode this last time and it is encoding as we speak so im not sure if it will give the same error or not
it seems to be going really slow, but maybe that it how it is supposed to be. usually takes around an hour to encode. the rate is usually between 1500 KB/s and 2200 KB/s and the buffered is always under 100 MB.
the computer has a 2.4 GHz pentium 4, liteon dvd rw drive (i believe it is the 812-s or something like that, ill have to check), windows 98, 512 MB of DDR PC3200 RAM.
i have not been performing a deep analysis before backup.
what do you guys think is the problem and how do i correct it? thanks in advance
