Can`t backup

[pommypoof]

When trying to backup i get an error message,
I have recently put Windows XP on my computer and had Windows 2000 on befor and DVD shrink worked perfectly.The message reads,

DVD shrink has encoutered an error and can`t contiue.
Copy protection error.
The request could not be performed because of an I\O device error.

Can anyone help me.

Well, this is probably the arccos protection that Shrink can't read!
Use AnyDVD or DVDFabDecrypter and jump in the decrypting section to learn about it. ;)

Check the DVD Shrink forums FAQ (http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45339) which also covers this error message.

The vast majority of errors encountered when you use DVD Shrink can be corrected by doing the following:

First, try cleaning the DVD. If DVD Shrink still generates this error:

Use DVD Decrypter v.3.54 to "rip" the DVD to your hard drive in "File" mode - and from the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "All files" (NOT "movie files").

Then use DVD Shrink v.3.2xxx to "Open files" (NOT "Open Disk")

If that doesn't do the trick, return it to the place of purchase in exchange for a NEW replacement...
