DVDshrink can't copy new DVD's?

[literatestylish]

I'm using DVDshrink to save ISO backups of my DVD collection. It works great for older movies, but the newer ones it gets to about 2-6% then I can hear the DVD drive churning and then it gives me an error. Most of the time it's "Cycle redundancy" or something like that. Any idea how to fix this?

As mentioned in the FAQ you need other tools to bypass current copy protections Shrink can't handle. If that doesn't help your DVDs are scratched or your drive is giving up on you.

Is DVD Decryptor the best? Because I tried that and it wouldn't work. The DVD's are brand new. I just bought them. So it's probably the drive giving up on me? Or do I need a new program?

Hello, literatestylish -

If DVDShrink can't remove the protections, what makes you think DVD Decrypter can. They both stopped updating against the lastest protection at the same time.

If you want to remove protections for newer DVD's then please re-read the FAQ, it mentions what to use.

I did browse in reauth mode.
I believe there is new pretection schemes added.

I have just started using DVD Shrink again and whilst it backs up and burns DVD no problem, when I put DVD in DVD player the player says DVD is unsupported?

This same player has and continues to play my older DVD's.

What is the problem?

No idea, maybe a copy protection not entirely removed. To make sure, rip the main movie with DVDfab and burn to a DVD-RW with ImgBurn.

Probably there was created a new type of protection. I tried to create backups of the disks that I bought in 2011 - the prog works perfectly, but the newest DVD has become a real pain in the neck. Now it`s a kind of a matter of honor to win the disk
Does anyone have more ideas?

On newer disks with structural copy protection, I use Slysofts AnyDVD.
You rip the disk to folder (not image) with AnyDVD and then import that rip into DVDShrink and have your way with it.
I bought a lifetime license for AnyDVD years ago - and never looked back.

I've had many similar problems in my 'career' of backing up my DVDs.

The only 'errors' I get when recording, is when the original is unplayable, or scratched to the point where it starts 'freezing'.
Otherwise, my DVD burner always said the copy process was successful. No matter what!
Then it would not play the DVD it just recorded.

FYI.
The cycle redundancy check error message is when trying to read data from a damaged DVD.
Just before it appears, your DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away and your PC may also become a little slugglish.
There is software that will "recover" the missing bits and make the DVD or ISO file whole again.
It is called CDCheck 3 and is free for personal use.
Just don't go to afterdawn to get it. It is worse than cnet. At every click this site dumps stuff aggressively.
My PC froze even before I got to the download link.

In my own experience:
#1 Reason Cheap media.
I used to believe all recordable CDs and DVDs were created equal. Wrong!
e.g. A backed-up CD would have a woosh! woosh! sound added to the last 4 or 5 tracks. Bummer!
A backed-up DVD would either fail to be recognized in the player, or start 'pixelating' and freezing towards the middle and stop playing altogether.

Brand-name media costs more but the extra pennies per disc is worth it tenfold or more!
Sometimes the DVDs are "on sale" at Zellers, and then I stock up. Sadly, the CDs never are.

#2 Reason can be a 'faulty' out of sync burner, or whatever.
Yup! I have one of them. By the time I installed it, and tried it, and played the results, the warranty was over.
Luckily a brand-name "Is it live or is it ... ?" external burner came on sale so grabbed it.
So far, so good for over 2 years.

As you can see, I'm on the 'trailing' edge of technology and I like it , but since I started using good recording media, everything plays on my computer, and although my 5 year-old cheap DVD player does not always recognize the backed-up DVD in the first try, the second try always works. Then it plays the video flawlessly.
