Those guides Oriphus edits on using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter are dead on. Made my first backup with ease. I had one error which I told shrink to ignore and it still made a good backup. I realize a private message might be better, but I wanted to brag on him for his help. BTW - When I first tried the play the backup, by Panasonic DVD56 claimed to not recognize the disk. All I did was open the tray, close it and hit play again. No problemo. I used Ritek DVD+R on a NEC 1100A.
