    I am using DVD Decrypter on a DVD that is 7 gig, and while it's decrypting I get a " not enough disk space" message. I have 17 gig free on my hard drive. I am using Windows XP pro using FAT 32. Any suggestions?

    Hi Jerry,

    It's not the HD space the warning is about - when you're running FAT32 you cannot have any file larger than 4GB. Since you're running XP why on earth are you not running NTSC ??? It's so much better.

    Mistake # 2.
    You shouldn't be anywhere around DVD Decrypter with a DVD in the 7GB range. You should be using DVD Shrink. Actually you should ALWAYS be using DVD Shrink.

    As they say, "If me was you, - - I'd be converting my HD to NTSC in a hurry - "

    cheers,

    Pete

    and BTW, Welcome to our little Club :D)

    Thanks for the info Pete.
    I plan to format to NTSC soon. Quick question, I was told that in order to backup my DVD, I would need to use DVD Decrypter first and then DVD Shrink. Should I go to DVD Shrink first, and do I not do DVD Decrypter? Thanks!

    Hiya jerry,

    Generally you can just use DVD Shrink and it will do a fine job, but every now and again there is a title that Shrink doesn't like which is where you fire up Decrypter and rip it with that.

    Welcome to AD :)

    Always use DVD Shrink first -
