because you keep posting suggestions that either don't make sense, I have already covered, or insinuate that I don't know what I am doing. Probably because your question did not make sense or lacked relevant info. Why do you want full disc backup for DVDs if their menus are causing playback problem...

In linux its very very easy to make an encrypted backup of a DVD 1) install libdvdcss 2) run lsdvd <dvd device> # uses libdvdcss to authenticate the disc ot the drive, without doing this, will get many read failures 3) ddrescue <dev device> test.iso test.log this will write out the image to test.is...

Of course DVD Shrink doesn't know the MKV format but that wasn't my question. You could rip the main movie to MKV with MakeMKV or re-author the disc with DVD Shrink (after having stripped protections with An*DVD or something). Chetwood at this point you are more trolling this thread than providing ...

So, if you wan to strip the menus why do you need full-disc backup for DVDs? Have you tried ripping the main movie with MakeMKV for the DVD that does not work with DVD Shrink? No it does not. DVD Shrink takes DVD files (e.g. VOBs) and then strips those files of unneeded content. It has no idea what...

Wanting to re-encode probably means the raw video exceeds the capacity of a standard DVD. When you play from USB, does it play MKV files? If so, you MIGHT be able to simply copy the MKV to the DVD, as a data disk, rather than a video disk. I used to have a car that would play regular CDs or MP3s on...

Plenty of FREE solutions for writing an .mkv, which you've already created, to DVD format. Try one? https://www.google.com/search?q=free+convert+mkv+to+dvd The problem there is finding a program that doesn't include spyware, doesn't re-encode, and doesn't cost too much considering I am only having ...

My other option would be a DVD Shrink type program but for Blu-Rays. I own the DVD/Blu-Ray combo packs so if needed I can rip the Blu-Ray instead, get rid of menus/extra content, and then burn back to a Blu-Ray. I just haven't found a program that is like DVD Shrink but for Blu-Rays where I can get ...

Yes I have looked into using a USB flash drive which my car actually supports. There is just one problem - there is only one USB port in the car and we use Android Auto pretty heavily (mainly for Waze). In other words we can either have our phone plugged in for Android Auto or have the USB flash dri...

Just to follow up and close the loop, Disney replaced my Inside Out disc for me and the new disc rips without issue. It must have been some manufacturing problem with the original disc. Going forward the only cleaning method I will be using in the future is using isopropyl alcohol as that seems to h...

The reason I was trying to do a full backup of the DVD was because I was then trying to use DVD Shrink to get rid of all menus and extras and just have the movie. I then burn this back to a DVD. This makes playing the movie much easier in my van's car entertainment center without having to worry abo...

Because DVDs have menus and MKVs do not?

I was not making MKVs out of the DVD. I was looking to do a full backup of the DVD. MakeMKV has this ability for Blu-Rays (including Menus) but apparently it does not for DVDs.

DVD format has a number of ways to create a "backup"; you just need to copy the entire thing to an ISO file. "Just" copying will give the an encrypted file, but a number of players already include the DeCSS library, so it isn't a major issue. For Bluray, it's not so simple. An e...

This is not a complain but more just curious. Why does full backup only exist for Blu-Ray? Why is there no full back up for DVDs?

Quick update. I can confirm that I have been able to rip all of my Disney/Pixar 4K movies that I have bought EXCEPT for Inside Out. I did have problems with a few of them (e.g. Finding Dory and Toy Story 4) but after cleaning the discs with isopropyl alcohol they ripped successfully. The common thre...

I can report it is working now. Thanks so much! I will be buying a license as a thank you.
