First of all, make sure that you are using either ISO or FILE mode, not IFO. Furthermore:

1. If you use ISO mode and Win9x/ME (or 2K/XP with FAT32 partitions, instead of the default and way better NTFS), then you should check in the settings that DVDDec splits the image file automatically. DVDDec will split the image file (which is bigger than 4GB, and therefore not accessible to FAT32) and will also create an MDS description file. Then, mount the MDS to a virtual drive, created with Daemon Tools, and in DVDShrink choose "Open Disk" and select the virtual drive.

2. If you use File mode, make sure that you have chosen in DVDDec settings to select all files in the dvd, by default. In DVDShrink, you choose "Open Files" in this case.

3. Never ever use IFO mode, unless you want to encode the movie only to DivX, XviD, etc.

There is absolutely no problem with DVDDec and DVDShrink 3.1.x...

Why dont you take in with shrink then select compression level 1-7 then back up to hard drive and burn with Clone DVD

The safest way is to use DVD Dectrypter in FILE mode. Just hit F key after you run DVD Decrypter, then hit Ctrl-A to select ALL files (absolutely essential). Select your output folder and hit the decrypt button. Just about anything else wont let Shrink "see" the files.

I have done this with my WIN98SE system. I can create the virtual drive with Daemon Tools, but DVD Shrink will not see the disk... it shows the new drive, but "no disk", even though it is mounted with Daemon Tools. Explorer will now show virtual disk contents either.
