Problems with The Brothers Grim

i bought this just yesterday, and was trying to use dvd shrink to make a backup for it, as i watch my dvd's traveling and such and my little portable dvd player scratches the hell out of the disks, so i make a backup to use.. anyways..after i hit the make back up button, it starts analyzinf, and then just cuts off saying the "Sector is Encrypted".. so what the hell? anyone else having problems? any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks! birdie

This title is ripguard protected. You will need to do 1 of 3 things: 1> Use AnyDVD with Vob Blanker to copy the DVD to the hard drive before using DVD Shrink. OR copy the VIDEO_TS folder to your hard drive and use FixVTS to fix it. 2> Use the PSL2Plugin for PGCEdit which will create a PSL2 file for DVD Decryptor, rip the disc, and then automagically run FixVTS for you. Then use DVD Shrink on the files that were ripped to the hard drive. 3> Use the latest DVD Fab Decrypter to rip to your hard drive. Then use DVD Shrink on the files that were ripped to the hard drive. Personally I use CloneDVD from Slysoft in combination with AnyDVD and do not have to do any of this. But if you wish to stick with DVD Shrink, then you must fix the ripped files. DVD Shrink alone will never be able to handle Ripguard protected discs. I hope this helps.

thank you very much sir! i will look into clonedvd! i use dvd for free in conjunction with dvdshrink..i believe i read somewhere that i need to turn off the dvd4free to use dvdfab decryptor.. is this something you are familiar with? again..thanks! birdie:)

DVD4Free may have been updated lately to handle Ripguard I don't really know, but, I would definitely disable it if you're going to use DVD Fab Decrypter. I think just right clicking on it and exiting should suffice.

To get this to work I used DVD Fab Decryptor to rip the files to the hard drive. Then I had to use Vob Blanker to fix the protected file otherwise DVD Shrink came up with an out of memory error.

I did it successfully the same way as Sabot

On the Region 1 disk, DVD Decryptor ripped fine for me....

It's a different program - you can get it @ http://riphelp.com/downloads/files/SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe It's no longer being updated, but still a very good program.

ahh..thank you very much!
