ripping dvds

[Tuffgong4]

that is so odd...have done other dvds that have worked and this is the only one that won't? or is the only one you have tried?

 

[ming]

no... I have tried a few weeks ago and it worked fine. (done using DVD+RW)
this time I wanted to put it on to DVD-R as it seems that my Theatre System doesn't support the +R/RW format at all.

How much free space do you have left on your HD?

can you point to a more specific location in the forums because a lot of people here could benefit from knowing and looking through all the threads is a little tough. it would be much appreciated. I looked but only could find using more than one program and then shrink

here is the link to the FAQ/Knowledgebase section in the DVDsrhink forums if you look through the pages you come across such as "How I backed up XXXX".

Here is the link to the post that explains how to make a backup of The Grudge.

The process is essentially the same for many of the newer movies. I made a backup of The Grudge and Resident Evil Apocolyspe using this same process.

ok thanks for following up...that's how I thought you ripped and burned them as mafia and I posted earlier in the thread...I thought you meant that you did it only with dvdshrink without using dvd decryptor. the guide said you needed them both, just as I thought

ahhh sorry for the confusion.

How much free space do you have left on your HD?

Well, I have a 80GB HD split into 4 partitions. Probably less than 3GB left in the backup partition where the DVD (shrink) copies are kept.

 

[Shamus MacNoob]

So is it possible you dont have enough room to manipulate the files on that partition ?

Not enough space on the drive "harddrive" maybe

 

[ming]

nah... I had 18GB when I tried to create the backups on to DVD.

EDIT: Besides, Shrink was telling me that there wasn't enough space on the blank dvd that i put in.

it's cool, thanks for posting those posts on the shrink forum

i came upon this thread through googling a similar problem to ming's original question:

i have been using decryptor and shrink for over a year now, and have never had any problem that i could not fix after an hour or so. but this seems different to me - i burn dvd's somewhat rapidly, as i have quite a collection and am trying to get it all done. i have used 4 different types of blank media, and i have never had a problem with any of them, from the cheapest to the most expensive (+R of course). now, almost completely randomly, when shrink finished encrypting the image, just before it starts the burning process, it stops with the same error ming was talking about: there is not enough space left on the disk. of course, i tried other discs, other brands, all to no avail. i have been using this particular brand for a month now, and all of a sudden, i cant burn any image to any blank dvd. i double checked all the compression settings, everything. nothing has changed from when it worked all the time. i even checked through decryptor and when i inserted the blank media, it reports that there are only 2,000,000 sectors free, as opposed the the 4,600,000 sectors or so that it should say. im at a loss for a resolution - i have tried everything i know from re-installing shrink, getting the newest version of shrink, updating nero, everything i could think of. still, "not enough space on blank disc"

i know im reviving a somewhat dead thread, but there really wasnt a resolution. ive scowered the shrink forums, havent found a thing. anyone have a guess?

The is strange thats for sure I for one have noy "yet" had this problem hope I never do. I wonder if its something to do with hardware ie: after so many disks the burners crap out, has anyone with this problem borrowed another dvd burner or tried a 2nd one?
