I have been using DVD shrink to back up my DVD’s but cannot do this now that I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone know how I can overcome this or alternatively suggest another way. Thanks Alan

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 21, 2010 at 11:53 pm #1210549I too, was using DVD shrink to back up DVD’s; alas it won’t work in Win 7 for me either.
I did a search for DVD Shrink on Download.com, and most of the alternatives were useful, but not free.
One alternative was DVD Shrink 2009: DVD Srink 2009 on Download.com
I have not tried it, nor can I speak on if it works well or not.
Good Luck!

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 24, 2010 at 11:05 am #1210828I use DVD Shrink under Win7 64 without any issue. What issues are you having? I don’t use it for decrypting, just to remove audio streams from iso’s, and it’s been working fine on two different PC’s. If the problem is with the install, I never installed it, just copied the DVD Shrink folder from my XP box (under C:Program Files).

AskWoody LoungerMarch 4, 2010 at 7:20 pm #1212221DVDShrink works fine for me also on x64 Ultimate. DVD Decrypter also works fine though when I close it I get half a dozen of so error messages pop-up that I have to close.
I used to get those errors too, but I’m not exactly sure how I fixed it.
I think it had something to do with permissions.

AskWoody LoungerMarch 5, 2010 at 11:39 am #1212278I read your problem with DVD Shrink so I installed it in Windows 7 32bit. It worked perfectly. I installed NERO 6 ULTRA EDITION for burning to a blank DVD. I use this version of NERO because DVD Shrink would not automatically burn with other programs I had to open NERO and point it to the location where DVD Shrink saved the file of the movie. I did not use any other program I just setup the preferences of DVD Shrink it works perfectly. I don’t understand why you are unable to make Shrink with your Windows 7 installation.
I hope this helps.
