SIGH...You would know that there are solutions to this problem if you'd read the forum. You want to rip the latest Sony titles with
AnyDVD? Don't want to pony up the cash for
CloneDVD? Want to use Shrink for compression? If yes, listen up...
-Download the latest
beta of VobBlanker
-Make sure the latest AnyDVD (6.1.3.3 at the time of this writing) is installed.
-Insert Sony title and let AnyDVD scan it
-Open VobBlanker and select the video_ts.ifo from the DVD as the input, and select a folder on your hard drive as the output.
-[OPTIONAL STEP] Blank, not skip, any titlesets you don't want to keep to save some space for
DVD Shrink.
-Hit the Process!! button and let the DVD get ripped to your hard drive.
-[OPTIONAL STEP] For the super paranoid, run FixVTS on the files created on the hard drive. This is NOT necessary as VobBlanker has always created compliant files for me.
-Open DVD Shrink and open the files you just put on the hard drive with VobBlanker. Compress to your liking
-Burn with favorite burning app
-Grab popcorn, beer, etc, and enjoy protection free backup!
MBK gets credit for this method of backup. He rocks.
