Try using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. You could also try using AnyDVD (free trial) with xPlat. You may be encountering a dvd with bad sector copy protection that xPlat can't handle.

Out of curiosity, was there any error(s) at all in prior to your computer shutting off? There is a chance or possibility that your computer may be infected with a virus. I'm not a computer geek, but it looks like you're having issues with either hardware or virus related. I may be wrong though, however, I've never experienced such problem like yours before and according to my understanding -- no computer should just "shuts off itself" in prior to back up, unless there's something wrong inside your computer/hardware.

I had this same problem on my laptop after I let the free trial of AnyDVD run out on it ...could not rip with any programs such as dvdd and shrink and others too...took my laptop to a puter geek I know ( my Brother) lol... and he told me he clean some stuff out of the registry that had to do with slysoft AnyDVD ...cured the problem...he said with the end of the trial even if uninstalled there are still traces of the program lingering around and could affect the performance of others that were used in conjunction with it before...anyhow long story short I removed all the dvd ripping programs and reinstalled them and now I have no more problems ...just know this worked for me ..hope it helps some...

Nice find, I have just a plain cool pad, I may just invest in one of these. My laptop is an AMD and is notorious for overheating. :~)

Again, thanks. I have one of the first cool pads but this one has more ventilation. Even with the cool pad I have mine tends to overheat, I stopped using it to backup DVD's because it is so tempermental. I think I will give the pad a try and see if it works out. :~)

I had a computer that would shut down by itself for no reason. I suspected overheating and cleaned all the fans and heatsink. Even installed another case fan. Problem persisted; computer would shut down afer about 45-60 min use.
One day I took off the side panel and just stared at the innards when it was likely to shut down by itself. Whalll....Laaaa! I saw the procesor fan slowing and speeding up very erratically all by itself, unrelated to any computer activity. Replaced the processor fan/heat sink and problem solved!

Sounds to me like it is the overheating problem. You can run SI Sandra diagnostics on it and it will tell you if the fan speed is too slow. Only way to solve is replace the processor fan.
Someone said something about AnyDVD causing problems. I have never heard of this on any of the forums I belong to and I belong to a lot of them. Never heard AnyDVD causing any conflict with anything. I believe it would be a conflict between some other burning program. I know this is not your problem. Yours is overheating.
