You seem to be a Shrink supporter ... I don't mind using Shrink (used to use it all the time), now use Recode 2. But you do know Shrink alone will not rip the newer copy protections, right?

Ok so we could use SmartRipper or whatever but that would use the same amount of space too considering we'd be ripping the same stuff ....

Try backing up Bourne Supremecy or Resident Evil 2 or Ray with ONLY DVD Shrink.
Hahahahahahah :D:D:D (are they still asking about how to to ResEv2 on the darkside?)

I have done it and if you don't believe that thats up to you guys. Check your version to the lates one, that could explain alot. Shrink is more sensitive to some dvd's. The problem I had today was on "Spanglish" but then a borrowed my friends and that one worked. I did have a problem with one, can remember the dvd but Shrink and DVD Decrypter would not work so had to use DVD43. Don't get me wrong guys dvd decrypter works great but I like the ez use of shrink. But just incase I have all 3 options.

Like i said, what's the protection scheme you had to circumvent.

Ironically enough we know the guy who programmed it.

I don't believe you one bit. As Praetor stated, we know the guy who coded Shrink and it CAN'T defeat the new protections being used on the titles we listed so you may want to come visit us sometime in what's called the real world - it's a neat place where we all work with these really cool things called facts. Give my regards to everyone in La La Land.

Then ask him why I can do it? I'm just passing my info to help you guys out.
I just use shrink in stander form no special setup. But I just do my own backups. Maybe thats way I have not seen problems. could it be that the dvd's I buy from my rental place not be originals? what do you guys think?

Yeah Neph and Flip you guys defnitely went a bit over the edge there and while i do understand why, it's slighly unprofessional. That being said there are some concrete pieces of information:
  1. Resident Evil 2 cannot be copied "just like that" using DVDShrink. You require something akin to VobBlanker to strip out the protection. Neph, Flip and myself are Mods on a more "multimedia oriented" forum and have encountered roughly a billion questions about "why cant DVDShrink copy this etc" and doing some research into the copy protection schemes you will quickly see where the "skepticsm" (and that's putting it lightly) comes from :)
  2. Once you get rid of the protection you can make a DVD clone/image/rip as you would normally
  3. That being said, if you just DVDShrink-ed it "just like that" then you did a backup of a copy that was already stripped (i.e., not-original). Whether or not you can get your money

Most likely no, because that would be illegal. And if the business is in the U.S. and selling copyrighted material illegal, then there would be serious penalties.

Who said anything about being professional? :) Is it in the forum rules? lol

Nah j/k, me sooo sorry :) It's just it's very very hard to believe he's got the special download of Shrink that will allow ripping of the newer copy protections, and everybody elses cannot do it.

The problem I had today was on "Spanglish" but then a borrowed my friends and that one worked. I did have a problem with one, can remember the dvd but Shrink and DVD Decrypter would not work so had to use DVD43.

Now you mention DVD43 ... You know DVD43 autostarts and runs in the background? much like AnyDVD. Could this be why Shrink works so well for you?

As far as Spanglish .. picked it up today. So many people seem to be having a problem with it, so I'm going to see if it's true.

Right now it's getting ripped on my Dell using the newest DVD Decrypter. So far so good, will run it through Recode2 to see if the backup comes out.
