have tried decrypter no change but dvd shrink takes care of that in most occasions going mad now
 
shrink tends to fall over with some dvd protections this is why most people rip with dvd decrypter in file mode then process with shrink :)

does your pc freeze just with dvd ripping or other long processes !? it could be that your processor maby overheating ?!

have you got any other programs running in the background such as anti virus programs etc etc that may be eating into the processor time ?!

could you please provide more info such as processor speed, operating system , how much memory you have dvd drive/burner make and model etc anything that you may see as relevant to get a solution please include :)

that way we can help more :)

I know that its a over the top response but have you tried a full format and fresh install of everything? I was having troubles with IC8 but after a full format the troubles where fixed.

I have no issues with protection or anti virus when using DVD Shrink I love the program and it is all I use now. I just run AnyDVD with it every now and then.

3.1.7.6 is latest, noticed you were using "3.1.7.3".

As above should be no problem, v3.2 on it's way though shortly. :)

Hmm... I thought the author had quoated that ver 3.1 was the last DVD Shrink, he would only fix bugs ? Great news if 3.2 is on its way though.
 
i guess the popularity of the program .... prolly with LAZ'S guide spammed to death here it the author decided to bend to the masses :)


maby we should start an ideas thread for it :)

I can confirm 101% that Dr Shrink is back in his surgery and ready to administer his methods of medicene upon any patients needing treatment. :D

I for one never thought this would happen again but glad it has. ;) I know you are an avid CCE fan, as in fact I myself am Alan, but even we know what a superb tool DVD Shrink is and can be for editing alone (never mind transcoding!) and Dr Shrink is deternined to improve upon the transcode quality this time around to boot too! :cool:

Watch this page, I will inform everyone as much as I can in the upcoming weeks about any improvements v3.2 will carry as much as my betatester conditions will allow me. :)
