Backing Up Dvds

[jellyfish]

I'm trying to backup a new dvd of mine but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm using DVD decrypter and dvd shrink and burning it in Nero as an ISO but it doesn't seem to be working in my dvd player. I've backed up discs before and played them using the dvd player so what's going wrong???

I have backed up dvds like this before and played them on that particular dvd player and so I know that the discs should be fine as is the dvd player.

I've tried to burn at a lower speed aswell- the lowest I could go is X2. I've tried buring in Nero and in Dvd decrypter but both are the same.

I've choose to verify the data on the disc after the burn and I've saved the error report.

As I say: I've used the dvd burner, discs and dvd player before in backing up dvds etc.

So what else can I do?

p.s I've also tried other discs aswell as dvd re-writables.

When I do the verify data it ALWAYS fails, even if the burn worked, so don't even bother with that verify thing. Have you tried doing simply a direct disc to disc copy?

No for two reasons:

1) The main disc is copy protected (which is why i have to put it through dvd decrypter).

2) The main disc is more than 8 gigs whereas dvd-rs are about 4.7 or something like that so I have to shrink it down using dvd shrink.

I'm trying one last time.

If this attempt doesn't work then I'm going to presume that the main disc has some kind of new copy protection which dvd decrypter doesn't remove properly.

Yeah, copy protection can be a real pain, someone needs to make a program that does a binary copy of a disc, so copy protection would not matter since it would copy everything EXACTLY as it is, bump per bump.
