DVD Decrypter to DVDshrink, what am I doing wrong?

[overdose]

I'm running into the typical protection problems discussed here earlier with catwoman/little black book/RE2, when I back up my movies I only do the main movie anyway, so for the first time i'm using DVD Decrypter to do the ripping and have it set to rip the main movie+ifo, then when I go to DVD Shrink and select open files, navigate to the directory... it won't open, says system can't find the file specified? Must I rip the *ENTIRE* disc to do it this way?

Also, I have nero 6.6.0.0 installed and I see a lot of people using decrypter to burn, should I be doing that?

I could open it with DVDshrink when I chose to get all of the files on the disc, however it adds a lot of time doing it this way not to mention ripping on the fly through dvd shrink eliminates the first step, what is the best/fastest method from original to main movie single layer dvdr?

Rip the DVD to disk with DVD Decrypter in file mode, All Files (DVD Shrink needs a full disk to work on). Then open in shrink in File Mode (Ctrl-O). Make sure you are using the latest versions (DVD Decrypter 3.5.2.0 and DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15)

This is by far the best way to backup a disk - especially with the new arCCos copy protection that DVD Shrink can't handle.

I always burn with DVD Decrypter, but via PgcEdit - see here (http://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?link=735) for how and why.

Good luck

that sucks, hopefully he releases the source so someone can pick up the project?
