Decrypter and Shrink to Make mkv and HandBrake

Post by project » Fri Mar 11, 2016 3:30 am

I have a large dvd collection that was previously copied using DVD Decrypter and DVD shrink. Now I am trying to rip and put on the hard drive but cant get make mkv to work. Any suggestions ?

"It doesn't work, why?"

Your description does not give a lot to go on. Are you trying to rip from the original disks, or from files previously processed by other programs?

I don't think you can count on MakeMKV being able to decode these files after something else has modified them from their original form. I do know that MakeMKV works fine with ISO rips where the entire DVD structure is still intact.

If you have VOB files that have been decrypted, there are other tools that can convert them to MKV files. Handbrake is one of them.
