DVDShrink 3.1.6 released Feb 23rd..DVD backup freeware

[Wooster]

Originally posted by: roamerrMy only issue is a large majority of my backups have some pixelation or pauses.

If you did all steps right, then try to use good media with slower burning speed. That should help. Good luck!

EDIT: Fixed,used DVD decrypter and daemon tools

Sounds like IO issue. If region setting doesn't help, please try to install ASPI and give it a try.

Well, I was able to do my first successful backup with my new burner. I used the new DVDShrink version with a Sony DRY510A. The first burn failed with TDK 2x media. Next time around with memorex media worked fine. I now know why people are so picky about the media that they get. I don't really remember this being a problem with CDR's. Oh well. Thanks everyone!

i'm sticking with what works, to depressing to spend money on stuff that doesn't

VERY TRUE! Why paid something that aren't work.

Is there a program similar to this that can run on a MAC running OSX? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to update this to reflect that DVD Shrink v3.1.3 was released. Thanks.

I'm debating whether or not to install this new version (currently running 3.05beta)...after reading the forums at dvdshrink. This long rip time you talk about is mentioned by a lot of folks in the forums...I think one workaround was to turn off the choice of using Nero for burning in the preferences.

I just ripped an episodic dvd where the source had 4 episodes and the dupe has 3. I would like to place the 4th episode on the 2nd dupe along with episodes 5 & 6 from the 2nd sourse dvd. Can this be done?

i just ripped a single layer dvd that was 4,321 MB using DVD Shrink v3.1.4 b0 with nero burning turned off, and it was able to rip the dvd at 6 minutes 54 seconds and it peaked at 11,974 kb/s. so im guessing the problem has been resolved in this new build or by turning the nero burning feature off in the program helped.

So is the slow rip time from the 3.1.2 version and is resolved on the 3.1.3 version?

 

[mrbass]

No supposedly it's resolved with 3.1.4beta0 like he mentioned above. Here's my mirror

Just extract it to your desktop...(no installer with this paticular beta).

thanks mr bass! appreciated

RE: Reauthoring...Do you guys check AC3-5.1 or DTS-5.1 or both? Been using AC3 only because then able to use less compression. Wondering if I should be using AC3 and DTS or just DTS.

For me personally, I only pick AC3 5.1. No need to keep both. That way I can keep up the video quality. It really depends on which sound quality you like the best.

Thanks.

Did someone say 3.1.3 encodes faster than 3.1.2?

 

[Macro2]

I notice on some movies there is a AC3 audio file named DIRECTORS COMMENT. Do you need that if you are just backing up the title movie?

no, 3.1.3 rips slower, but 3.1.4 is in beta right now, and rips faster than 3.1.3 but retains all the same features. check out the link in mrbass's post a few scrolls up.

i dont include it. i think its mainly just a directors introduction to a commentary track or to extras. i usually just rip the main movie with ac3-5.1 or if it has a DTS-5.1 track, then that one.

I'm using the plextor 708A with dvdshrink (newest beta version) and DvdDecrypter. Both work fine other than my speed when ripping from a dvd is only 2x. Any idea how to improve that??

Hold down the eject button for 3+ seconds before you insert the disc. That will "unlock" the drive's ripping ability for the next inserted disc. As fast as 12x is possible.

Only if you want them. If I am able to, I backup everything. If not, that is one of the first things to go. Then, I choose to take out all the menus.

that is correct. but also, to avoid future posts, single layer rips at 12x, dual layer at 10x, and ±R/RW at 8x (i believe, not sure if its for both formarts, and not sure if those speeds apply for re-writeable, i think so though)
