DVD Shrink 1.03 Observation

Hope this information is useful to someone.

Recently I attempted to use "DVD Shrink" v.1.03 to copy a short movie DVD. The original DVD had a half inch scratch about 1/4 inch from the outer edge of the disc and in the general direction of the data tracks.

"DVD Shrink" was unable to copy the disc and reported the problem as a "CRC Error."

I then attempted a copy of the same original DVD with "DVD X Copy" v.1.4.1 which had no trouble in reading the original DVD and making an exact duplicate.

While it is hard to beat the price of "DVD Shrink" compared to the $99 price tag for "DVD X Copy," this experience suggests that the latter might have a more robust read algorithm.

Regards,
LGS

I would have just polished the dvd with a finishing car polish. That usually cleans up a scratch thats not too deep. DVD Shrink is made by a guy who knows more about coding than he does about the basics of a dvd. Give him time he will make the better program.
