At the moment i cant seem to be able to back up any of the latest sony films. ie death in paradise, the last 3 that i have had i haven't been able to back up. I use dvd shrink and the latest version of anydvd.
Have you tried DVD Fab Decrypter? If neither work, chances are you need to wait for an update to be released.
I have used AnyDVD on the latest Sonys. What you need to do is rip a file to the harddrive with AnyDVD. Then use a free program call FixVTS to correct stucture problems. You can then use Shink. The FabDVDHDDecrypter (free version) will also do all of these movies. When I use that I also run through FixVTS and then Shrink. You will find some of the newer Lionsgate films need to be done this way also.
Don't recall having any trouble with the latest Sony DVD's especially Death in Paradise. I just use AnyDVD, DVDShrink and Nero. No problem at all. Only problem I have is with my older DVD's that I had before I started backing up my DVD's, scratches.
So far i did all sory and Disney movies with anydvd and clonedvd with out a problem. note they both can be used for 20 day as a trial.[/b] AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software. AnyDVD is capable of removing unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. It also allows you to launch an external application whenever you insert or remove a disc, or prevent 'PC-friendly' software from automatically launching when you insert a video DVD. Decryption is not all that AnyDVD offers. You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays. But AnyDVD doesn't just stop at DVDs. It also decrypts protected audio CDs to allow you to copy them.
