I am assuming they will stop updating the old one now.

I've been using AnyDVD for a few months now and it works great with my now defunct DVD XCOPY. The only problem I've had is removing a region code, which is the only one I've tried and AnyDVD just won't do it. Otherwise it removes previews, trailers, etc. nicely.
I am still wondering if I should dump DVD XCOPY and go with CloneDVD, but so far I haven't seen a reason to change. If anyone has had a chance to compare those two I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks

yes your alot better off with clonedvd 2 over x copy no nag screen better quality you can control the burn speed etc. download and use the free trial for 21 days to see also theres 10 and 5 bucks off this month if you buy, heres a guide to use clonedvd 2

Thanks, that's good to know. I did check out the guide and apparently CloneDVD burns to DVD-R. Infortunately, my Sony burner only burns to +R.

CloneDVD2 WILL burn to + media--that is all I have ever used and no problem at all--maybe your burner will only burn (-) type?

Whitfield

No my burner only burns to +R, so if CloneDVD2 will work with that, then I'm all set and will give it a try. Thanks Whitfield!

No problem--good luck and have fun--any problem write back

OK I have a problem with DVD Shrink...no matter what movie I try to shrink at 30% my computer shuts off...and I can't play it in windows media player...someone please HELP me...

khlockett,

Are you trying to shrink the newer movies from Sony,Walt Disney,etc?These movies have invalid dvd structures among other protection on them.This might make your computer shut down.DVD Shrink has not upgraded in a long time and wont in the future either.What i would do is download a program called DVD Fab decrypter(FREE)There are other programs out there,but try this one first.This program will take all that crap off and put the movie in a nice DVD folder anywhere you specify,i always put it on my desktop.Once your done with fab,drag the DVD folder over to shrink and proceed like you would usually use shrink.This should solve your problem.

I used DVD Fab went thru fine then reauthored and even full disc and shuts down Imitation of Life and Apocalypse Now...I used to be able to watch them with Windows Media Player but now I can't Life shuts down at 30% and Now at 21% don't know what is wrong any other suggestions

whats your PC specs.? please post them have you tryed uninstalling and reinstalling the programs.

Mike you CAN use DVD+R media with clonedvd 2 with no problem set your burn speed at 8x max. you will like the program lots better than x copy i promise

OK I am an idiot when it comes to this spec stuff where and how do I pull that up..I have been using Shrink for about 2 years..thank you

thank you for helping me

khlockett,

Hey,double click on my computer,then under system tasks,choose view system information.This could be a possibility of a few things.Computer might be older,not enough memory,or you have a bad dvd burner,if you use this drive to read.If you have another dvd burner or a dvd rom drive try shrink it that one.Then again you were using shrink for 2 years,so i would lean towards the dvd burner or just the dvd movies,might be just a bad press.Hope this will help more,holla if you need anymore help.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. This can occur when another program or operating system component encounters a problem but does not communicate the nature of the problem to the Player. This is the error that I get when I try to play any movie in my D: Drive and my external Drive. When I am using Shrink it gets to 30% and puter just shuts off. What am I looking for in my system?

this is great software. This is a great company. I have purchased their products and they have given me good support and new links when I needed them. They update often and never ask for more money. I would never hesitate giving them my credit card number. I have a credit card with a small max just for online purchases in general. al williams

khlockett,

Why do you use Windows Media player to watch your movies?Did u get software with your burner,so u can watch movies?I dont know what version of media player you have,but i know version 10 does play dvds on my computer,but i dont use it.Did you try other movies on shrink?So your DVD burner is an external?What about your internal drive,dvd burner or not? Seems to me that it has to be your burner.I never had luck with externals,but that is me.What i would do is buy an internal dvd burner(u can get them cheap now) and see if it does the same thing,you can always return it to the store.Hope this will help you more.

I am using windows media 10 and I have tried pink panther, room 6 and 16 blocks shrink analysis great, when shrinking gets to 20 - 30% and puter shuts down...never have had that problem before. I have removed and reinstalled internal burner does the samething. I am running out of ideas.

How much is the new discount and how do you get it?

its 5 dollars off for a single program (clonedvd 2 or anydvd) or its 10 dollars off for BOTH program buying them together making the combo 49 dollars .when your typing in your info. you will see a coupon box at the bottom of the page type in "afterdawn" to recevie the discount

I have AnyDVD, is anydvd6 different? and I never see it advertized on slysoft.com.

fred theres only one AnyDVD its up to verison 6.0.1.1 ,thats what there refering too

did you get your CloneDVD problem worked out??

---

abcd, yes I did, I have been gone for 2 weeks, I did get your message, I will be getting back to you soon.

khlockett,

I dont know what else to tell ya,man.There might be something you recently installed on your PC that is clashing with Shrink..What i would do,is format your computer and then reinstall all your programs..be sure to back up any files and/or pictures that you need.

i need help - i'm new to the dvd burning. SONIC came with my DVD-R drive but everything is "protected" i'm guessing that i need a decrypter of somesort, but i would like to know what's compatible.
any help/suggestions would be great.

your best bet is to download clonedvd2 and anydvd here

http://www.slysoft.com/en/

use the 21 day free trial if you decide to buy type in "afterdawn" in the coupon box to get the discount both programs will run you 49 bucks which is a steal. you get great quality you can control the burn speed and both programs update for life which means when new movies come out with new encryption the programs will handle them ,heres a guide to use the programs

http://bbmayo.home.comcast.net/

remember to use good blank media (Taiyo Yuden and or Verbatim)NO MEMOREX!!! and burn at 4x starting out.

you can download dvd shrink and dvd decrypter also there both freeware but dont update anymore you can do the older movies with the programs though and a few newer ones ,good luck and happy burning shoot us back if you have any questions
