I have been in the habit of making back-ups of my dvd collection as the kids use the originals. Now that dvd shrink dosn't work on most dvd's being produced now, has anyone found a replacement software that provides this service please.

but in the last few weeks, irrespective of what kind of dvds ive got, its always given the allocation error
Then use DVDShrink on this output.
If you want to have more than one go at shrinking the dvd,
i.e not happy with result. you don't have to go through the decryption process again.
Never had a problem, so far.
DVDFab Decrypter seems much better at recent films, as DVD Decrypter does not cope at all well with the most recent encryption types
its quite annoying.
although i noticed videoredo makes vobs into mpg
Easyier to get a non region dvd player
but i bought a pinnacle showcenter today
Any specific examples which DVD Decrypter fails?

basically its a media player that streams from a server via LAN (software to build servers comes with it
bloody good!
One of the main reasons for using DVD Shrink is that it removes the copy protection from dvd's and will copy them to your PC whether there's CP or not.
Note also that Macrovision themselves have claimed all the rights to DVD Decrypter so there is no official DVDD site,but you should be able to download it from other sites.
Macrovision has always been a crap copy protection system ,since it first appeared on VHS in the UK in 1986,and movie companies have been ripped off by these crooks who tell them their property is protected when it isn't.
Macrovision are so desperate now they are taking legal action to stop copying software being issued anywhere,proving that their sh1t protection system still can't do what it claims,yet these mug dvd companies continue to fill the coffers of Macrovision.
But of course,Decrypter won't shrink the contents to fit on a single layer disc like DVD Shrink does.
I stopped using the latest version of Shrink ages ago when it did not work properly.
I reverted to an earlier version that works fine.
The point I was making in an earlier post. If DVDShrink fails in the decryption phase, use sometthing like DVDDecrypter to remove the copy protection. Then, if you need to shrink the dvd to sinlge layer, run DVDShink on the unencrypted output.
