Please help, I have tried everything to get my computer to back up DVD's, I have shrink, dvd decripter, ect ect. My computer is running XP home, with all the bells and whistles, ie, 2Gig ram, 200 meg hardrive, duel core intel processor ect ect. When I put a DVD into the CD/DVD writer combo and say try using shrink, it reads the disc and then gets to the point where u have to click back-up. Here it starts and runs for about 5 mins and my computer shuts down. I have tried all the normal things like, is the processor overheating ect. I have tried different codec pack to no avail. Please can someone help me? Im now desperite. Thanks
Hey dashley45 and welcome to aD. Right, let's get down to business. Now, firstly, I know the backup isn't completing before the PC shuts down, but have you made sure you have this box unticked when you come to the "Back-Up" box... Also, are you running lots of other processes whilst backing up? What dvd are you backing up?
Hello Ripper Yes I do have the button turned off so the computer shouldnt shut down. The DVD'S Im trying to copy range from bought ones to dare I say it, but any really lol . I tried to make a movie the other day that I downloaded from the net, just a comedian thing my son wanted. When I used nero, and tried to make a DVD in Neron, it did the same thing, just starts to rip and shuts down. Thanks
Hey there. Welcome. What version of nero are you using? Is this only happening when you do this w/ shrink or has nero done this before? There are certain dvds that are not compatible w/ shrink. However nero certainly can be a troublesome issue. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/492679 You need to rip your dvds with http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvdfab_decrypter.cfm You can use this method or go to payed method with slysoft using anydvd and clonedvd2 Either one will work. Rip with dvdfab and then pull it into shrink. I hope this helps.
Thanks Bahgee. I have tried a few different ripping programs and it still does the same thing. I have tried DVD Fab as well, still shuts down when it starts ripping. Thanks
I believe there is some other issue at work. Be patient and someone with more knowledge may be able to help you. At what point exactly does it shut down? What steps specifically do you take?
Lets say I am trying to back up a DVD I have bought, nothing fancy like a Sony or anything. I use shrink which worked well on my old PC. I load the disc, and click on open disc which it does fine. then i click backup and it starts. After about 5 mins, my computer shuts down. Thats about it, its done in it all other programs as well. Cheers
Do you get any messages come up before it shuts down from either Shrink or Windows? Or does it just shut down automatically?
How much space do you have on your HDD? Can you check in tash manager how much CPU is being used whilst the process is taking place? Have you run thourough virus and spyware scans?
Plenty space, about 120 gigs, I have checked the CPU as well and seems to be fine. I have got Nod32 running all the time and I use adaware everyday for spyware.
Do you have any Roxio products? Is this the first time you have done any backing up on this pc? Does it shut down the pc or just the program? If its the programs, uninstall it all and re-install it. This is a new one for me. Thats all i can suggest at this point. Do process of elimination. Good luck bro. Go ahead and reply and Ill ask around. ps.Is it a shrink when it goes dead?
Thanks for trying It happens with any of the programs I have tried. Yes it is the first time I have tried with this computer. I can burn a music cd and make a data dvd, but thats all. Everytime I try and do a movie, it just shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the prgrams as we. I waswondering if it was maybe a codec that I needed that could cause this.
If you monitored the CPU temp and are satisfied that isn't the problem, then boot into safe mode and try one of your procedures (DVD Shrink perhaps) see if it goes to completion. If it fails, then you know it isn't a software conflict, because nothing else will be running at that point.
Bahgee asked if you have any roxio products installed and you did not answer, if you have anything roxio including sonic this could be the cause. if so uninstall it and use a program called roxizap http://www.download3k.com/DownloadLink1-Roxio-Zap.html
What did you use to moniter the CPU temp? did you use a program to see how hot it gets? Also your Power supply might be causing the problem too? does it shut down only when you encode/transcode?
Its a new PC?I wonder if I'm just being paranoid ,but i wonder if Microsoft is working with the movie industries?Is It possible that Microsoft is embedding software or a chip to stop people from ripping or burning copy protected movies?
