DVD Shrink & Copy Protection?

[Terry Pinnell]

I was recommended to use DVD Shrink to examine a DVD I've authored.
But to get familiar with the program I've just tried opening a free
DVD that came with my mother-in-law's Daily Mail recently ('Defence Of
The Realm'). But it crashed, when it got to 97% within 'Analyzing',
with a message about Copy Protection. I'd understood DVD Shrink could
handle DVDs with such protection?

FWIW, this is version 3.2.0.15.

Obviously not, eh?!

Use DVDfabdecrypter ( http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm ) to rip it to your
hard disk.

And how to backup to a DVD disk?
Thanks

Did you set the region correctly? Here's a user guide...

And how to backup to a DVD disk?

Once the DVD has been decrypted to the hard drive, just click on the
'Open Files' button instead of the 'Open Disc' button in DVD Shrink.
Then select the folder and after it analyses it, just click on the
'Backup!' button. Easy!

Thanks, that link helped me fix it. There's no actual setting in DVD
Shrink for a specific Region AFAICT. But there is an option in
Preferences called 'Check RPC2 drive region code when opening a DVD.'
That was enabled by default, and I didn't have a clue what it meant
when I first installed the program. After unchecking it, 'Defence Of
The Realm' was analyzed quickly.

I'd have thought that would be unchecked by default, or even
hard-coded?
