How can I burn DVD's that can't get decrypted in DVD Decrypter / Shrink DVD ?

Question

The error that appears to me when I insert the DVD to be burned is "Unvalid DVD format" or something else like that. Please help me, I have originals thet are very scratched and want to make backups so I won't lose them. Thanks

Here are the tools I use to copy DVDS for my own personal back ups. I know some folks do not trust some sites due to all the junk spyware out there and virus stuff. But look at my answer history, you will see that I can be trusted. D/load the free protection I recomend. I trust the programs I mention below and use them. I also believe in try before you buy.

Answer 2

Three things can be going on.

1) The DVDs are to scratched to be recognized by the player.
2) They are Dual Layer and you are not using a Dual Layer Burner.
3) Or they are copy protected.
