Well, the disk could be a bad press. Have you watched it to see if it plays fine? I of course use AnyDVD, so I did not have a problem.
One option is to try again after you disable PathPlayer in DVDFab. Select the green check mark and you will see a list of custom settings. One of them is called PathPlayer. Select Disable PathPlayer. There is also a way to tell it to ignore all errors, but I will not go into that information.
After the movie is ripped you will probably have to run it through VobBlanker to make sure the DVD Structure is intact. First let's see if you can get it ripped. If you can go ahead and see if DVDShrink can handle it.
Another possibility could be your DVD drive not having the latest firmware version on it. Have you tried to watch the movie on your computer?

mumzee,
Most of the Beta downloads for fab are free for the ripper portion of the program. I did not see on the thread that it was for owners of the program only. Here is the thread: Link

There are many different rippers available for purchase. DVDFab is nice because it has a free version available. However Fengtao has changed it to where the newest updates are for the people that purchase the software.
AnyDVD is a software ripper that is fantastic. Rarely do I have to try to rip with DVDFab, and in most cases if I use Fab I will have to turn off PathPlayer on the program, as well as turn off the, "check for errors" because I'm just going to tell it to ignore all anyway. Basically this means that with a problem movie I may have to even rely on the good ole RipIt4Me.
Originally posted by mumzee:
Do I use both of them........
DVDFab will not run if AnyDVD is running. However using the multiple programs in RipIt4Me you may have AnyDVD running.
Originally posted by mumzee:

No, AnyDVD is in most cases used in conjunction with CloneDVD2. However, I do not use CloneDVD2. You may tell AnyDVD to just rip the movie directly to your HDD. AnyDVD is not a free program, although it comes with a 21 day free trial. Now that AnyDVD switched to EU currency it is much more expensive than it originally was, but to everyone that owns it they all say the same thing. It's the best there is. You may also download Beta versions of the software if you are having problems, but if you are not an owner then this will not do you any good.
Originally posted by mumzee:

You will have to make the change before hand. DVDFab will then tell you to restart the program. Here is a picture of where to find it after you select the green checkmark.
If you are still having a problem getting the movie ripped then give AnyDVD a try. Like I said, it comes with a 21 day free trial.

Do not remove any of the programs that you already have on your machine!!
Mumzee,
I have AnyDVD, CloneDVD2, DVD Srhink, DVD Decryper, RipIt4Me, DVDFab, FixVTS, VobBlanker, DVDReMake Pro, and probably a couple of other programs as well. I do not know where you read that you have to remove DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter! :~(
Note: You do not need AnyDVD HD if you are not ripping Blue Ray and or HD movies. Standard AnyDVD will work perfect for standard DVD's It also saves you about 30 bucks!!
AnyDVD is a little different now. Every 2 years you will have to renew your license for the program. I purchase AnyDVD HD before they changed to Euro currency and before they started the every 2 year thing so I don't have to worry about that.
Now here is the way that I do it...
You will see a little fox head in your notification area of your task bar (where the clock is!!). That is AnyDVD. When you place in the DVD AnyDVD will take a few seconds to scan the disk. After it scans a pop-up window will open that tells you information about the movie. You could turn this feature off, but I leave it on because 9 out of 10 times it says the name of the movie in the description. I'll give you a pic to look at.
Now highlight the name of the movie with your cursor and press Ctrl + C to copy it. Now you may press the OK button since you have the name of the movie copied.
Now there are three ways to rip the movie listed below:
1) Open DVD Shrink and try to read straight from the disk. This does fail quite often which is why I do not recommend it.
2) Select Start -> All Programs -> Slysoft -> AnyDVD and you will see a couple of choices. The first choice is AnyDVD Image Ripper, (I never use this feature because I like to clean my movies before I process them to ISO files. I let ImgBurn build the project when burning.), and the second choice is AnyDVD Ripper which is the one I would select if I bothered to do it this way. Then there is the third way which is the way that I do it!
3) Right click the little fox head in the task bar and select Rip Video DVD to Harddisk... Notice that the Rip to Image is also located there. Much quicker to access that way!
Now a new pop-up window will open. You will see the second box that says, "Destination Directory:". Select the little yellow folder next to it and select the drive which may be C: if you only have one, or it may be D: if you have a secondary drive, or in my case I have three drives. At the bottom select the button that says, "Make New Folder" and when the new folder presents itself press Ctrl + V to paste the name of the movie you copied earlier. If for some reason the name of the movie was not listed, then you may type the name of the movie. Now tell AnyDVD to start and in about 10 - 20 min. the movie will be on the drive.
From this point it is up to you. Do you normally use DVD Shrink with the very little editing that it allows, or do you use another program to clean with? I use DVDReMake Pro and I would say that around 10% of the time after I clean the movie is ready for a standard DVD-5 with no compression. 40% of the time DVD Shrink will work fine (I will not compress unless it is 70% or higher!). The rest of the time and on movies that have a lot of fast action I will use DVD Rebuilder. It is always better to encode than to transcode a movie.
Hopefully this information will get the ball rolling for you and your backup of the movie will be complete pretty quick! If you have any further questions feel free to ask!!
Have fun with your new toy! You will love it!)

Okay the pest is back with another question :) this is how I've been doing movies since I've joined AD.........I use HDFAB select Movie "C drive", then DVD Shrink, then Imgburn and it's easy.......so with AnyDVD can I still do the the DVD Shrink and Imgburn? I am a fast learner usually but you are confusing me with having to make folders and everything because once I use the FAB then go to Shrink I just click on open file find it and click on it and after the analyzing and encoding and it's done then I just go to Imgburn and burn and on the HDFAB I always use Main Movie and yes I only have the C drive and one tray that's why I have to do it DVD to DVD and rip it to my pc oh and I read it when I was scrolling down on that page because Creaky taught me to read about things and then if I'm not sure to ask because everyone has their own way of doing things........I just don't understand why it's freezing at 67% and I have the new HD"FAB version and when I download that then it works fine BUT not this time okay going to bed will check back before I go to work tomorrow..... thank you for the step by step views.......I might try the Beta HDFAB version.........I'm always afraid to try something new without talking to my AD friends because you guys always put me in the right direction.......ok that's it for me tonight good night and will check back when I get up..........everyone at AD who's helped me before know I like the shortest, simpliest way to do things so I don't mess up..........

AnyDVD does work with DVDShrink because it is suppose to make the DVD Region Free and Encryption free once it is in the drive. I do not use this method, but it should work for you with no problem. Here is the way to do it easily.
Download the DVD Shrink that has been updated to automatically burn using ImgBurn if you do not have it. You may download it here: Stop a sec and pay attention to this. Do not download the direct link at the top of the page. Scroll down and under latest version you will see another link that says, "Download DVD Shrink for Imgburn", that is the one to download. Link
Now you will need to open DVD Shrink and follow this step:
Edit -> Preferences
On the Preferences tab for target size change it to custom and select type in the size 4440. This will keep you from having any over burn on the DVD.
Now when you press Backup it will ask you for your destination folder. Just select Burn ISO with ImgBurn and the only space being used on your HDD is temporary space.
This should work with almost all movies, although I have never done it. Basically you are using one program to do all the work for you. Even though you are really using three programs! Remember that you will have to change the original disk to a blank disk before it will be able to burn. Let me know how well it works!

Thank you for everything I already have DVDShrink (have been using it forever) I never change anything......I just open file, then when that's done click on backup and always ISO then when done I burn using Imgburn.........so I will download the ANYDVD and let you know how it goes........I just might download the Beta Version of HDFAB also...........Thanks again for all the great help :)

No problem with giving you some help. Downloading and having more than one program to rip with is always a good idea. The Beta version of DVDFab may get the job done for you. There is also a Beta version of AnyDVD available. Here is the link, and it is available for trial as well. Link to Beta AnyDVD
Edit:
By the way, the link I dropped for DVD Shrink has the workings for direct burn with ImgBurn. If you have the original then it will not do it unless you make a little tweak to your system files. I could explain how to do that, but what would be the point since the original program was at least updated to burn with ImgBurn instead of just Nero. Just a little information for you to know.

Ok here I go again, I downloaded anydvd and it's not anything like HDFab because it says "E" drive and mine goes to "c" drive there's no choice for main movie or to rip to "c" drive so I can use my dvdshrink .........does it give you choices after you put a movie in? When I click on the fox it's just a blank page.......I downloaded the update BetaHDFab and had no problem with "The Hangover" but then I tried the one that freezes and it froze my pc again so that's when I downloaded the anydvd but I just don't understand how to work it and I'm sure it will be easy once I actually learn how.....I read all your directions to use anydvd but let me be sure I have it right.... I have an icon on desk top and one by clock....now do I click on desktop icon to open anydvd, then put dvd in, then go to one by clock and right click? Then select "rip video dvd to harddrive? (I'm not good at pasting or anything like that so I will skip the title part if that's ok) Then I click on destination directory and select little yellow folder and select drive "C", then at bottom select make new folder and type in name of movie :) and then tell it to start...do I have it right? Now when it's done and I open my dvdshrink and click on file will I still be able to see my movie to click on and then just do the rest like I always do? Sorry, but I told you I read and ask questions and pay attention to be sure I understand everything and once I do I never ask the same questions again....I just hope my pc will not freeze again because that gets so frustrating......you are definitely added to my list of AD friends (hope you don't mind) so I will know who has helped me and had the patience to put up with me :) I have been given corrective criticism by a few BUT I don't mind one bit because that's how I learn......the greatest of their pet peeves is me going to the right thread, but they know I apologize and they head me in the right direction...........I have complete respect for everyone who has helped me!!!! Will check back when I get home from work........one thing you will learn from me and that is I'm hard-headed so when I'm stumped on something I never quit til I conquer it lol Thanks Again

Okay,
Now first off you do not have to make a folder like I originally said. You can just select the C: drive in the destination and AnyDVD will create the folder for you. Sometimes the movie title is not complete or something not like a movie title at all, but you will know that it is the movie. So let's start from the beginning, like this is the first time I'm telling you how to use it.
1) You do not need to double click the icon unless AnyDVD is not in the task bar because you turned it off (by right clicking the fox head in the task bar and selecting "Exit"), or if you disabled the auto start feature in AnyDVD.
AnyDVD scans the disk as soon as you put it in the drive. It will look like this:
After AnyDVD scans the disk it will give the information pop-up window which tells you information about the disk encryption as well as the title of the disk. I've posted this in one of the earlier post, but I will post it again for you to see now.
Now this is not the same movie I selected again, this time I put in Star Trek Nemesis. Here is just a small example of name changes that will be applied by AnyDVD to the folder that it will create for you.
This is where I would change the name on the folder, but you do not need to worry about it. You will know what movie you are working on because I'm sure that you only do one or two at a time. Now you may press the OK button to close the pop-up menu.
Now right click the little fox head to bring up a list of options. Select the one highlighted in blue that says, "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk..."
Now the AnyDVD Ripper program will start and present you with a couple of new things. The first thing is the source drive or your DVD drive on your machine. Now I'm using my server as my other computer is using DVD RB at this time. I only have one drive on this machine. My other machine has two.
And now the last step. The destination of where you file will be located. Notice the "1" is to select the yellow folder. Then the second window will open and this is where you see the "2" to highlight the C: Drive. And then you see the "3", that is where the destination folder is C:.
Now just select the Copy DVD button to process the rip. After it is done you may open it with DVD Shrink from the file button. Currently I'm going to try to run this movie with DVD Shrink directly. AnyDVD is running in the back ground and should remove all protection. I will let you know if it works.

You may close the AnyDVD application that is running, but leave the little fox head in the task bar all the time. DVDFab you open and close, but AnyDVD you just leave running in the task bar. Of course if you are going to use DVDFab, then you will have to exit the program in the task bar, but you may open it again with the icon or after you reboot your machine it will auto open for you.

PROBLEMS......when I put movie in the prompt came up like you said saying it's scanning disk, but then a prompt came up saying 1)DVD Media is dirty try to clean it 2)DVD Media is damaged replace it 3) Your drive region is locked RPC2 drive which does not allow reading of scrambled sectors from a different region. Known drives having this problem are RICOH/PHILIPS DVD writers and Matshita/Panasonic DVD readers and writers-you can try to find a RPC1 patched firmware at www.rpc.com 4)Your drive is an RPC2 drive that has not yet been assigned a region try to assign one..........this is definitely all Greek to me........I know the movie is not damaged because I watched it and the rest of this I know nothing about........so does this mean I can't use the anydvd? Will check back in a few for your response

Can you possibly tell why this movie freezes after it reaches 60% but plays perfect in my dvd player? I hope you will be online tonight and will check this so I can get this settled tonight because I'm ready to pull my hair out lol I just don't understand why that prompt came up....is there another program I can use w/my dvdshrink and imgburn........I don't know if I should uninstall anydvd or what.......I have a couple of other movies I need to do so I think I will close the program for now til I hear from you............Thank You

I think the problem is it keeps saying "E: drive is not ready....I don't use that drive and there's no way to change it........I right clicked and went to the help and it says to disable if I have other software and the fox would turn gray........which I did and which it did and I tried the movie again but it keeps say E: drive I know by now you are ready to pull your hair out but I've never used anydvd and if I don't ask questions I can't fix it.....there has to be someway to change the drive.......please don't give up on me:)

First let me say that I'm glad that you got the movie done!! I think that you should try to rip it again with AnyDVD just so you can see how it works. I'm going to try to answer your questions now and I believe that the first one had to do with firmware.
As far as firmware goes, you should not need to worry about that. Now on the other hand I have a drive that is very old, and I was having a problem with it reading movies so I had to update the firmware. Rpc1.com is a nice place to find updated firmware and if you ever need to update the firmware for you drive, then there are several steps to follow. I could walk you through them, but to be honest, as cheap as a DVD drive is these days in some cases it is better just to buy a new one!! However, if we were talking about a Blue Ray drive then it would be a different story. Just for notation purposes so that you understand a little better, firmware on a drive is an update to the drive itself and has nothing to do with your computer.

I won't give up on you, I'm well aware of people being new to something. I do have to admit that I'm not 100% sure of when and where you are having this issue. Is it when you place the disk in the drive, or when you are trying to rip from the drive? This answer is the best that I can come up with for now. I hope this will solve you problem.
As far as changing the drive letter, or not having AnyDVD scan that drive you will need to open the program and... Well, I went ahead and made a picture for you to view. I think that is easier than trying to use tech lingo!!
As you can see in the picture, just remove the check mark from the drive that you do not want AnyDVD to read from. Like I said before, I hope that solves the problem you were having.
A couple of things to know for the future. DVDFab does keep up to date with different encryptions and is a great program to have. However, things have changed with DVDFab, and the free version will not be updated at the same time as the paid for version. This could cause you to have problems with other DVD's in the future. AnyDVD is in my opinion the best of the ripping programs available, however, they have changed in the fact that now you have to update your program every two years! That aspect of the purchase of the program kind of bites the bullet.
So while you have the trial version of AnyDVD maybe weigh the options of purchasing AnyDVD every two years or just purchasing DVDFab. No decision has to be made right away, and it is 100% up to you on which direction that you select to go in. However, on the side of AnyDVD I will say that when it comes to BD encryption breaking they are by far the quickest.
Here is an example that I can give you. I have over 5,000 movies backed up! I'm a movie-a-holic!! In all the years that I have been backing up movies I can tell you that I went from originally using one click software that I purchased to using only free versions of software. However, I'm a perfectionist. I use to use DVD Shrink for everything, but I got to the point to where I was not satisfied with the backups. That is when I started using VobBlanker to help me remove unwanted material from the movie, but I still had things that I did not like!!
To make a long story short!! I ended up purchasing AnyDVD because of how powerful the program was, and at the time DVDFab could not handle everything in a timely manner. Then because I was not 100% satisfied with VobBlaner, I purchased DVDRe-Make Pro which allowed me to make changes to menu's. So now my process is three fold, but it didn't stop there! I still wasn't happy with the quality of the burns so I purchased DVD-RB to encode instead of transcode the movies! So what that leaves me with at this time is a four step process!! In other words, by the time my movie is finished not only is it perfect in every aspect, it also took me around 2 hours to finish it!!
A lot of work wouldn't you say!! Granted that a little over an hour of that time is run DVD-RB! Needless to say, I have a lot of experience with different programs when it comes to ripping, cleaning, and having a perfect copy of the original. However, most people don't care to hear about it, they just want the quick and easy way to make a backup!
Let me know if the information helped or if you need me to go into a little more detail on something.

I did purchase my dvdfab, but I could never get my registration to accept and I kept e-mailing them and they keep telling me to do the same thing over and over and over again :) to make it work and to no avail it didn't but they included the free version for me....but my money was wasted..........I did click on select drive and it only showed the E: and I unclicked and still couldn't find a D: or anything else......maybe the trial version isn't giving me those options.........I have 21 days to figure it out, but I doubt if I ever will (:
