Has anyone been able to back up this set of 4 dvds? I have tried DVDxcopy platinum, DVDecrytor and DVD Shrink without success. I can't even load the disks to my hard drive. It will read until about half way through and then it hits a snag that it can't read and the copy programs freeze.
ajr78, Run all 4 discs and compress all to 4.30GB, then - Give DVBD2One a try - use it in the "Join" mode - You should be able to get them at least down to 2 DVD's and with a double spin, get them down to DVD-5 for all of them ) Pete
Does it do this with all four discs at about the same point? Does it do it with any other titles? Are you getting any specific error messages?
I was able to transfer disks 1,3, and 4 to my hard drive with DVD Shrink. I haven't had the chance to burn them to DVD disks yet. Disk 2 gets to the 51% point then just stops. No error message. DVD Shrink says the the original is not crypted. DVD Decrypter and DVDxCopy Platinum also stop at this point. I tried DVD Rescue to see if it detects anything, it doesn't, but also stops at this point. I don't see any physical problem with the original.
As they say in Mexico, "Chaa, Chaa Happens" - Ya want to try ripping with DVD Decrypter in the "file" mode ? - Maybe try a different version of DVD Shrink ? Pete (sorry I missed the "freezing part of the first post :-(
Success!! Sorry for troubling everyone. As they say "Read the Guide first." No problem after reading how I was supposed to use DVD Shrink.
