Dan,
If that doesn't work then Go over the following and try the guiide again DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS -
There are some things we should check as they have a direct influence over how our drive behaves -
Physically, Your burner s/b set as "master" on your IDE cable and the IDE cable s/b an 80-pin cable not a 40-pin. Always double-check your burner's jumpers to make sure they are correctly set for master, not slave if you installed the burner yourself.
1. Let's check for up-to-date Firmware for your burner.
"OK, so what is this "Firmware" garbage?" Fair question. Firmware is a "tutor" who's job it is to eliminate any "bugs" found in your drive and to "introduce" your burner to all the different kinds of media to your burner is likely to run into and to tell your burner a little bit about it. What type of media it is and at what speed to burn it. As new media is introduced OR, as the Mfgrs of your burner find new ways to use it, new firmware updates OR "Flash upgrades" come out to "school" your burner, keeping it up-to-date. It's good to keep your burner up-to-date as it "tweaks" your burner and keeps it operating at peak performance.
Of major Importance - When dealing firmware, you must match your burner's exact model with the proper Firmware. Trying to "Flash" your burner with something "Close" won't do it. It must be the exact firmware for your drive. ("Flashing" is what the installation is referred to when you put the firmware into your drive.) Trying to "Flash" your drive with some other drive's firmware can ruin your drive.
At the bottom of the page look for "What's my firmware? - Try this little tool I found," Download this tool and check out your Firmware's health (up-to-date wise). You can probably get a current upgrade there also -
http://flashman.rpc-1.com/
Firmware page -
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php
Always check your burner's Mfgr's "Support" section to see if some newer Firmware is there -
Firmware, You can't burn without it -
Now we need to see if we have a working ASPI Layer.
"Yea right, and ASPI stands for Another Stupid Piece of Insanity, right ?" No, not quite, it stands for "Advanced SCSI Programming Interface". "Well that tells me nothing, what's it do ?" That's a much easier question to answer. It is kind of a "translator" allowing your software to talk your hardware in a manner that your hardware will understand. Let's imagine an Earthman trying to talk to a rock. Now, think of a sledgehammer as being the interface. With the interface in play, the Earthman can tell the rock to disperse into gravel no matter what planet the rock is from, OK ? Good, let's see if we have a sledgehammer -
2. Check for your ASPI Layer. If one isn't present, we'll need to get one and reinstall it, then reboot our PC to allow it to "settle in".
ASPI Checker -
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.jsp?cat=%2fProduct%2fEZ-SCSI_5.0&filekey=aspichk.exe&sess=no
Force 1.8 ASPI Layer -
http://forceaspi18.w.interia.pl/
Finally, we need to check your DMA. "Ooohh, no you're not ! Only my husband or my Doctor checks my "D", "M" . . whatever . . ." No, no, it's OK, DMA stands for "Direct Memory Access" transfer mode OR as we say in the computer field, it's a really, fast way to move stuff. Many PC's today are using UDMA or "Ultra Direct Memory Access transfer mode, or as we like to call it, a really super-duper fast way to move stuff as opposed to the PIO mode. The PIO or Programmed I/O mode, is a technique whereby the system CPU and support hardware directly control the transfer of data between the system and the hard disk since shortly after the beginning of PC's up until the mid-1990's. So we want DMA (fast) more than we PIO (slow).
3. Let's check your Drive's transfer mode. It should be DMA-4, not PIO.
Windows XP downgrades the Ultra DMA transfer mode after receiving six CRC errors and drops it down to the much slower PIO mode.
To enable DMA mode using the Device Manager
1. Go to "My Computer, ""System Tools," "View System Information," then System Properties, "Hardware," Then Open Device Manager
2. Double-click IDE ATA//ATAPI Controllers to display the list of controllers and channels.
3. Right-click the icon for the channel to which your burner is connected and select Properties. Now click the Advanced Settings tab.
4. In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select DMA if available if the current setting says, "PIO Only."
If the drop-down box already says, "DMA if Available" but the current transfer mode is PIO, then the user must "toggle" the settings. That is, change the selection from "DMA if available" to PIO only, and click "OK".
Then repeat the steps above to change the selection to "DMA if available".
OPTION: Right-click the burner and select "Uninstall" and then "OK" all prompts until the PC reboots. Upon rebooting, the PC should "find" your burner and reinstall it setting it by "Default" to DMA.
Lastly, when did you last defrag your Hard Drive (HD) ? If you have to stop and think about the last time you did it, then it's way, way overdue. Here we go, (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. When it opens, choose your HD, analyses it to see where we stand then if you need it (you probably will) choose Defragment.).
After you finish doing it now you might want to think about having "Scheduled Tasks" in your Control Panel do it for you on a daily basis.
A fragmented HD not only drastically slows down your system but it can cause all number of things to happen inside your PC, a messed up burn being one of them.
Once we've done that, our DVD burner should operate at peak efficiency :D)
Cheers,
Pete
Now let's see if everything will work together the way we want it to, OK ?
Give it a test run and let us know how you make out -

Hey scubapete, I was wondering if you can give me some help. I can get Scarface to rip to my computer but then I can't encode it. I was wondering if I should still try what you posted? I'm wondering this because I COULD get it to rip to the computer but I can't encode it.
Let me tell you what happened:
I tried using only DVD Shrink at first but that made me get the same error message that was already described shortly after the encoding started. Then, as instructed by some of the guides to do when Shrink gives you problems, I used DVD Decrypter in File Mode to rip Scarface to my computer . The ripping with Decrypter worked and I got the files on my computer but then when I try to encode with Shrink it still gives me the error message shortly after encoding begins.
Anyway, sorry for the long post but I just wanted to know if I should follow what you said or if it won't help me because my situation is different? Thanks in advance.

TheEZest,
When you rip in the "File" MODE with DVDD all the loose files go to your destination folder BUT they don't go into a proper folder. Create a folder and name it VIDEO_TS and put all of your files there. Be sure to name the folder exactly like I wrote it, all in "CAP's."

DVD Shrink and Nero 6 Stew Recipe
"Uncle" ScubaPete's step by step, easy-as-pie, "Newbie Starter Recipe" for DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15 and Nero Ultra Edition 6 -
We will start our dish with a main ingredient of DVD Shrink 3.2 ~
It's FREE, can do almost everything you could wish in as few as 3 steps - It will rip your movies (gets rid of that "pesky" copyright protection thingy ;-) and it does it in generally 1 to 3 minutes.
It can be used for your smaller DVD-5's (<4.36GB) and it also allows you to compress your larger DVD-9's (>4.36GB) to the necessary 4.36GB in order to insure a nice burn without encroaching onto the very edge of your DVD disc. The finished product is sure to please with no significant loss of video or audio quality.
"But wait there's more - " (as the late-night info-mercials always say - -
For those who like the backups "Their way" (a US colloquium, referring to a hamburger from Burger King) it also allows you to tailor your DVD's however you wish. To keep in or remove foreign audio streams, i.e. Subterranean Morlock Mush-Mouth, Siberian Rumble-Rut or Eastern Himalayan Yak language selections, Director's comments, extras or trailers, all that is required, should you wish to do so, is to click and drag a line in Re-author, it couldn't be easier. It's your choice, backup your entire DVD or just parts of it.
PLUS, if you have Nero somewhere on your PC, DVD Shrink will work behind the scenes hooking up with Nero and then burning your files to your blank DVD "automatically" while backing up everything you do to your Hard Drive and there it provides you with a nice, neat VIDEO_TS folder for you, perfect to have Nero burn.
The above-mentioned software Nero OR CopyToDVD may be used as default burners, either will allow DVD Shrink to control your burn your DVD "automatically". Make a note: Nero is also an excellent software program with many extras you are sure to use in the near future. Consider it seriously for a software purchase after your free trial expires. CopyToDVD is an exceptional burner that may also be used, hand-in-glove, with DVD2One, a great joining and processing program.
A complete, FREE, DVD Shrink program download and step-by-step guide can be downloaded from -
Shrink download - http://www.dvdshrink.org/
To get you going with that "Automatic DVD writing thingie" that DVD Shrink is capable of doing for you, may I offer you Nero Ultra 6. I suggest you download the guide in case you wish to use it for the many other things Nero Ultra 6 is capable of doing for you :-)
A 30-day, free, fully functional Nero 6 download can be had here:

A Great Nero, step-by-step guide can be downloaded from -
http://www.dvdshrink.info/nero-video.php
(Always check with us before purchasing Nero as we come across "Specials" from time to time that can save you some dough. )
To make sure we have a perfect burn today may I strongly suggest that you PRINT THIS GUIDE OUT NOW so that you won't miss a single step -
HINT
I create a folder on my Desktop named " All DVD Work" and before ripping my DVD's I create another sub-folder with the name of the movie I'm backing up. (i.e. "All DVD Work\Kill Bill does the Limbo 2.")
Let's go over our settings for DVD Shrink.
When we open DVD Shrink, go to "Edit," check to make sure that "Full disc Backup" is checked. Next, go to "Preferences," where is says "DVD Target size" I select "Custom" and in the size box I put 4300MB. That allows you a bit of wiggle room on your disc so that you're not writing to the very edge of your disc. NOTE: A 4.7GB disc only holds 4.36GB of data. I like a tiny bit of room when I burn hence, the 4300MB instead of 4360MB. Make sure the "User preferences" boxes are all "ticked". Under the "Preview tab" be sure the "Enable video and audio preview" is "ticked". Under the "File I/O tab," - "tick" "Enabled overlapped I/O" and "Check RPC drive region code".Under "Burn settings," "tick" "Enable burning with Nero." NOTE: When you wish to have Nero do it's "Automatic burning thingie" make sure this box is "ticked." Tick this box now ! DVD Shrink can also burn an ISO image with DVD Decrypter, when you wish to use DVD Decrypter as your burning engine, make sure this box is "un-ticked." When you are finished, click "OK."
Well, Alrighty then, are you ready ? Good ! Let's do us an entire DVD backup - -
The proper discs are extremely important and can make the difference between a good backup or a "Coaster". (A coaster is a disc which didn't burn correctly and therefore is good for nothing other than a beer coaster. Lol) For starters, here is some recommended media, RiData, Sony, TDK, Ritek G04, Verbatim DataLife, Verbatim DataLife Plus media boasting "Advanced Metal AZO", Taiyo Yuden's and generally, almost any discs manufactured by Mitsubishi are excellent bets. Other media could very well cause errors, only the very best media should be used for DVD Video backups. Now is defiantly not the time to put your, "Boy did I save money buying this crappy cheap stuff." in - ")
Since you've already got your files on your HD, open DVD Shrink and Click "Open files" - find your drive and click "OK," - DVD Shrink is now ripping your DVD - Cool Huh ? If you want an entire disc, which we do today, everything is completely "Automatic" - (Just to make sure, check the top of the window, "Full Disc" should already be "depressed" - Now don't get upset, it likes being depressed, I just don't want you being depressed - ) - (lol) OK, then, moving on - -
When you click "Backup" in DVD Shrink, a box will come up saying "Backup DVD." Under the "Target Device" tab where it says "Select target device" choose your burner's drive. Where it says" Target Folder:" click "Browse" and trace your path back to "All DVD Work\ Kill Bill does the Limbo 2 ". Under the "DVD Region" tab, make sure "Region Free" is "ticked".
Now, under "Quality Settings", if it's SPEED you're after, "un-tick" the box which says, "Perform deep analysis" and "un-tick" the box for "Compress the video with high quality adaptive error compensation". This will give you acceptable DVD backup.
If it's QUALITY you're after and have some extra time to spend, "tick" Perform deep analysis" before backup to improve quality AND "tick" "Compress video with high quality adaptive error compensation." There you may adjust quality enhancements. Practicing with the settings can produce even better end products. For a no-frills DVD's like "There's something about Mary" I like Extra Smooth BUT for DVD's with a lot of special effects, I use the Extra Sharp setting. That's for me, you'll have to decide what you like :) If all the boxes are "grayed out" that's OK, it means your DVD is small enough that little will be lost from the original. While we're in the neighborhood, let's go to "Options" and "tick" the "Run backup in low priority mode" box. Good, now click "OK". - Guess what, we're done and done !!
DVD Shrink will place a copy of your DVD's files in a folder named VIDEO_TS and a folder named AUDIO_TS. This last one is empty so you need not worry about it. When all the compression etc. is finished DVD Shrink will open Nero and use it's burning engine to burn your backup to your disc. You won't see it, you'll just see DVD Shrink's preview window on your desktop. Feel free to minimize it if you wish BUT, use your PC for nothing else until this work is done.
Last step: "STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER !"
Clear the room then, clear your throat and yell, "Burn Baby BURN ! "
Do not fold, spindle, mutilate, molest nor fondle the keyboard. GO AWAY !
Ms. Computer will let you know when she is finished, everything is good, don't mess with it now !
Now when DVD Shrink is finished, it will give you a VIDEO_TS folder and an AUDIO_TS folder in your "C:\All DVD Work\ Kill Bill does the Limbo 2" folder. Now, if you need to burn a second DVD copy, days down the road, all you have to do is give that folder to Nero or any burning engine and nothing needs to be done, it can be burned directly to disk. At one point in time I had 23 movies sitting there, just waiting for my shipment of blank DVD media to arrive. My suggestion would be, - after you have checked to make sure your copy is fine and you're through making more, delete the movie from your HD. They can build up rather quickly and overrun your PC (Lol). Of course you can always do as the ScubaPete does and buy another Hard Drive (Heh, heh.)
Remember, when you're lQQking for a guide with a demented twist, shop ScubaPete.
Enjoy your ScubaPete backup,
Cheers,
Pete
Oooohh yea, we are expecting you to stop back to the forum and tell us how this guide worked for you - We'll be a'lQQkin for you :)
fartdude,
I don't believe your problem is even close to the same thing. You need to supply a whole lot more info in order to receive help - for starters, Use a different disc, one of higher quality -
Pete

Actually, DVD Decrypter did all of this for me on its own. Do you think I should just suck it up and try it again but use DVDD in ISO mode like it says to do it your first guide that you posted?

I use the ISO "Mode" ALWAYS whenever doing Episodes.
For my paticular DVDD ripping I use the ISO mode 90% of the time. There's no reason NOT to use the File MODE for regular DVD's it's what I do . . .
So whichever way you like is fine.
I just answer assuming it's an ISO unless you mention otherwise - it's interchangerable -

I've already suggested that you change media and since you haven't said anything I assume you already have done that ? Yes ? No ? - What media were you using and which ones did you try ?
I also posted full guides here - have you tried that yet - again, silence from your corner - Yes ? No ? What guide ?
Without reports for the things I've suggested and a bit '"O" trying on your part, I'm at a loss - what do you want of me ?

ok ok lets just bury the hatchet here dude, To best describe the problem, Not any DVD back-up software can rip this DVD (Wrestlemania 15). Now i can some times get the disc to play in a stand alone player but play back is horrible, Tried several methods to copy just the main vob files of the disc nothing works, Now for media im currently using i use sony DVD+R 4x and i have a lite-on dvdrw dual layer , sony CDRW DVDrom crx320e , iomega usb 2.0 dvdrom cdrw. none of these can rip the dvd, but all can detect the disc and its signature. play back is the same as a stand alone player , most of the main movie plays till it gets too the end then freezes up special features will not play, I'm just totally lost here scuba never had this experience with any dvd ever, what i would like too atemp here is too rip the main movie off the disc and exclude all extra's since the compression ratio is way too high, i just need some advice here on how i can get a back up software to analyze , reauthor , encode ,decrypt,and finally last but not least back the dvd up the way i want it. Sorry for my ill temper in my last post just got over a poisones spider bite to the leg , maybe it went to my head lol, check out my thread called spider bites suck. Any way back too the subject, Have u ever heard of an situation like this before i mean im real experinced video transcoder and real good with workin with dvd's but i've hit a huge road block here, Any thoughts on this situation or assumptions would be apprecaited. If u need anymore info that provided just let know but i've pretty well described the situation to it's fullest. Help Scuba I'm Drownin Here man!

scubapete, just wanted to let you know what happened. first, thanks for all the help. i tried your guide step by step and it still did not work. everytime i got to DVD Shrink it would stop during encoding. eventually i used DVD Shrink in the reauthor mode and backed up only the main movie. no menu, extras, or anything. it worked! i guess there was something wrong with one of the menus or something like that. maybe extra copy-protection possibly??? i dunno, but i do know that i finally got it to work.
anyway, thanks man.

FartDude,
Ok there Good Guy, I think we're on the same page, you're having trouble with the original disc - you're not getting to the backup stage yet - NOW, have I got it right ?
If so,Let's try the following -
We'll need the latest DVDD (released Jan 5, 2005) -
http://www.dvddecrypter.com/
After you've downloaded it, I'd like you to check your DVD Decrypter's settings. Go to "Tools", "Settings", set everything to "Default". Then in the "General" tab change, "Removal Method" from "Normal" to "Aggressive", in "File Mode", "tick" Remove IFO/BUP PUO's." For ripping in the "ISO, Read Mode", "tick" "Remove IFO/BUP PUO's" there also. in the "CSS" tab, under "CSS Cracking Method", choose "Brute Force ~> I/O Key Exchange" and "On Failure" choose "Yes". . IMPORTANT: In the "I / O" tab, in the bottom right, "tick" the box which says, "Ignore read errors". This is an excellent setting for dealing with lightly scratched discs which may cause reading problems. We're now finished with our settings here so click "OK."
Under "Mode" we want to select File to rip our DVD.
[bNow create a folder for your HD backup work. Try to put it someplace where you won't forget it (i.e. C:\All My DVD Work\Dumb and Dumber Meet the Parents Out for a Kill get Eaten Alive.) Now after you created your folder named for the movie - I want you to create inside that folder another that says VIDEO_TS - written just like that, all in CAP's. Here is where you'll tell DVDD to place your ripped files.
In DVD's main window, where it says "source" browse until you locate your drive holding the original. Where it says "Destination" browse until you locate the VIDEO_TS folder in your pre-made movie folder.
Are you ready ?
Good, ~ ~>
Begin by playing your DVD with your PC's player. Play for two or three minutes then open your DVDD and click on your "Disc to HD" icon - as soon as you begin your rip turn off your player so it doesn't interfere. The playing beforehand is only so that your ripping program can "Find" your DVD.
When DVDD plays it's "Finished tune," you should be done.
Next, Open up Nero's recode2.
If you don't have it, head this-a-way ~ ~>
For Nero Ultra Edition:
http://www.ahead.de/us/nero6-ultraedition.php
For Nero's recode2 - choose the 2nd one here:
http://www.ahead.de/us/632261771103079.php
Once it's installed, Open Recode2 and choose "Remake a DVD."
Now select "Import Titles," browse until you find your pre-made folder, import your folder and check each file in the preview window before you drag them to the left-side of the window. When finished, "Burn" ~
Let's see how that works -
Pete :)

ScubaPete,
I am sorry about the PM. I was very flustered. Please accept my apologies.
ScubaPete & Co.,
I seem to be running into problems with scarface anniversary edition. The backup went just fine. I do believe that there are some minor imperfections on the disc. When I tried to use DVDshrink I ran into problems, but then I used your method of forcing decryption and it made an iso w/o a problem. (I did tick remove PUOs (4) in IFO Read and IFO Mode.. Is that correct?) But when I went back to open the ISO it would not let me open it because of an unexpected error. Then I tried again reading the image with decrypter reset in all default mode... Again it created an ISO, but when I try to open it up to compress it with dvdshrink I get: Invalid UDF file system.
Any suggestions before cleaning the disc with my disk cleaner and using the ice and vodka method?
Thanks again. As always.

Westend,
I assume you went to "File" and selected "Open disc image" when in DVD Shrink -
Also you might try ISOBuster, it's a pretty good proggy and works when some others fail -
http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/
Then you can use most any proggy to take the VOB files and burn them to disc.
Let's see how that works and let me know . . . .

Scuba Pete,
I got the isobuster to open up the large 7.7 ISO just fine. I don't really know what I am doing, but trying to figure it out.. In isobuster there are two main folders one is the red ISO folder and the other a green UDF folder. They both contain audio and video files and they appear to be identical except for a win folder and other stuff.
I extracted one of them to an open area and created a audio_ts and video_ts folders. Within the audio_ts there was nothing and the video_ts folder contains the dvd movie files, backup files of the ifos, and dvd movie info files. I am not sure what those files mean (??), but I figure that the dvd movie files are the meat (audio and video.. because I can play them on the computer - similar to .mpg files).
Even when I try to just take only the dvd movie files 0-8 they total 7.7 Gigs. I don't know what VOB files mean(?). Is there a way to shrink them down? I know that I can use Nero to make a video dvd with the video_ts files, but they are combined over 7.7 gigs. I guess I could just cut it up into 2 discs fitting whatever I will fit on one and copy the remaining files to the 2 disc. Is there a way to shrink or condense them?
Much Thanks as always.

I backed up Scarface with using DVDSHRINK all i had to do was go to unreferenced material and replace the Un?VERSAL studios with a still image and it was a perrfect back up.

Hi westend,

created a audio_ts and video_ts folders. Within the audio_ts there was nothing and the video_ts folder contains the dvd movie files, backup files of the ifos, and dvd movie info files.

You're doing OK so far . . .

Go to the Shrink / Decrypter guide in my sig and follow everything except - where it says "Open Disc", you click "Open File" and point it to your VIDEO_TS folder. Don't worry about the AUDIO_TS folder it is supposed to be empty :)
All will be fine. Follow the guide exactly and that 7.7GB movie will be very happy on a single disc
Cheers,
Pete
