I have searched for this throughout the forum and found a couple references but no solutions.

If however this topic is discouraged for copy right reasons feel free to delete it forthwith.

What do you people do when:

DVDShrink 3.2
DVD decrypter 3.5.4.0
Nero

,are not new enough to backup your stuff?

I need something newer since they apparently have another annoying copy protection in service now.

For reference, my grandchildren have ruined 4 of my best movies and its getting rather expensive to replace them. In fact, I have gone so far as to purchase my own burner just to remedy this but am having difficulty. I could be a good/responsible person and put them away but my home is no longer child proof and I am constantly taking precautions I have not had to in over a decade.

Any suggestion will be appreciated, preferably freeware or shareware. I would also consider taking applications for anyone interested in making my home child proof once more. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

OK, I am nearly positive that its the DVD in some way. I acquired a full version copy of DVD cloner III which is supposed to be top of the line and it reported an error as well. Sadly it was in the first segment and consequently ruined the entire burn. The movie was "Stealth". On one other occasion "Bewitched" failed in exactly the same fashion, it also reported an error. (If for some reason you feel that these two movies are better left not backed up please remember that I bought them and would not have if I didn't like them)

I have perhaps 50 or so movies backed up. DVD shrink is only about 85% reliable. DVD decrypter is about 97% reliable so I am thinking that its something either new or a glitch in the disk. ( I am thinking that DVD decrypter is 100% reliable and these two times were faults in the disks)

The only commonality between these two movies was its "Auto play" function. It actually said auto play, where none of my other movies do not.

I would really like to know for sure so I can put my originals away for safe keeping.

Is it possible that the new Auto Play thing is the issue?

Yeah, I sorta figured you'd say that.

and yes, these are the only two.

If I do come across another I will give you a yell. You seem to have more experience than most, or at least more interest. But seriously, the only commonality was its auto function. You could put the movie in and walk away.

This error looks oddly familiar. I won't go so far as to say "THATS IT!" but I do recall some sort of a cylindrical something or other. You almost had me convinced that I was doing something wrong. I am still fairly new at backing up my vids.

Do not concern yourself overmuch about those two movies but if you come across a title you would feel like verifying, let me know what it is and I will consider buying it to see if its the same on my end. If nothing else, we can determine if its isolated or commonly occurring.

Thanks for your time.

I have had 2 in almost?? 6/7 months? a thread only lasts 4 months if no one replies.

I suppose I can bump it ever so often.

Still, if you come across a solution, give me a yell since I am thinking more DVDs may move toward "Auto play"

Yeah I've had the Cyclic Redundancy Error when trying to err...back up Gantz Disk 3. I don't thinks it's a software protection thing in action since disk 1 and 2 burned fine.

Now thats bullcrap. It didn't even happen to me and I am pissed. How can they do such a thing when there are a whole plethora of legitimate reasons to have burning software?

(growls)

I know it wasn't your fault but news like this always makes me mad. Why do some people always assume that enforcing their rights is a license to step on others in the same process? Take me for instance. I am not stealing nor selling my movies. I may allow a family member to borrow the copy, (not the original as they tend to have children as well ) but its still nothing corrupt. If some movie manufacturer told me I couldn't do this I would blow a fuse.

Anyway, which exorcist? I have the newest one and it copied just fine. Smooth and easy with now errors.

I may be naive but I still have a sense of right and wrong. No matter what anyone else may think. This annoying habit of telling people what they can do "after" they purchase something is pure bullcrap.

I once had a electric meter reader inform me that I was pirating electricity by running an extension cord to my travel trailer. I also had a cable repair man tell me the same thing because I had a splitter in my line run to each bedroom. I was not sharing either utility it was my home and yet each felt the desire to reprimand me on my error in the form of notifying the law.

Corporations that attempt to extend their field of rights to encompass items no longer in their possession are carrying things a bit far.

Nevermind, I am getting off track, we should make a list of the hardware and software we each are using to see if some pattern forms.
