Thanks for the responses, every forum is different, I have to learn the rules and what's expected. Sometimes certain rules from certain forums get confused in my brain. If I ever have another problem I'll post a log and the right amount of info needed. As for resurrecting old threads, it has long been a difficult thing to figure out, should or shouldn't I, with various forums. I have some that get angry at me for creating new threads, when old ones exist and I have some that get angry at me for resurrecting old ones. But for my problem, ultimately, I'm to blame I didn't fully read the rules and now I have. So sorry about that. Lack of information and logs, won't happen again. If resurrecting old threads is frowned upon on here, I won't do that either. I am new to the forum, I've found that 7 out of 10 forums have inadequate searching. But to be honest, I didn't use the search. So again, my mistake. This forum could have a great search, I haven't tried it yet to really know. I will from now on. Generally 99.9% of anything I've ripped with anydvd as long as anydvd decrypts it properly, it will read in dvdshrink. Which makes sense if you think about it. But I am certainly not blaming AnyDVD or Slysoft or anyone for anything. Just was trying to figure out a problem.
As for the problem (yes it was an original disc), it is resolved, indeed ripping with anydvd did in fact work, I must have picked the wrong folder or didn't go deep enough with dvdshrink when selecting the folder. So it works, the dvddecrypt method won't. But dvddecrypt is old. I will check out the clonedvd 2, see how that is.
Alright again, its resolved, I appreciate the responses and I am sorry if I wasted anyone's time. Best Regards, Robert (mayhem13)
