The trick with Hitch is to eliminate all of the additional Audio inputs that have no actual impact on the video files. In other words, 0 MB on the far right side. Also, you want to eliminate all of the garbage Audio that has no impact on any of the Video. It's just there to confuse copy programs, and nothing more.

Step by Step

Load Up Hitch

Press the Full Disk Icon

On the left side Highlight Menus

On the Right, Un-Check the Audio AC3 2ch Unspecified.
----------------

On the Left Side, Highlight Main Movie

On the right side under Audio, Un-Check everything but the TOP entry which says AC3 5.1-ch English. Unless you just must have the subtitles, un-check all of them as well.
-----------------

On the Left, leave EXTRAS as is!
------------------------------------

On the left side, select Unreferenced Material

On the right side, Un-Check EVERY Entry. None of it is necessary for viewing the film properly.

Now, just doing THAT MUCH will eliminate a bunch of final file confusion and should be enough to give you a clean burn. If not, there is one more thing that can be done, but I won't mention it now. I got a perfectly clean copy doing nothing but what I outlined above.

- Mike -

P.S. Let me know if it works or not.
I have done all the above and Hitch still wont back up for me, any other suggestions?
Thanks so much, never had a problem before now

i didnt like that dvdfab either. if anything, i'd go with CloneDVD. i think that guy may have just been advertising for them, or has never used anything else. dvd fab did not reinvent the wheel, imrove it, or even throw a new paint job on it - they just got an old wheel and called it someting new.

I agree, DVD Decrypter worked best for copying Hitch. Even thought there are no more updates for the program....it is still the best damn ripper out there, it can still do the newer movies....DVD Decrypter is not dead yet...and as far as I am concerned it will always be with me on disk, ya know it still can do just about all from this point back! Rock on Lightning UK!!!!

Went out and bought this movie to see what the problem was, and found no problem at all. Used DVDDecrypter which reported there were nine suspect areas, ripped in file mode. DVDD inserted dummy sectors in VTS_01 Vob and VTS_10_2 Vob after that nothing else. Decrypter did its job just like it always does. The only thing on this movie is the massive amount of files, 124 which is a little excessive. For now Decrypter is still king :~)

Hey, just replying to say that smsmike's step by step tutorial did the trick for me. It ripped perfectly with DVD Decrypter (the newest version) and then I used Shrink and it worked fine. Although it is worth noting that the process took around 5 hours, total

new to this site, but have burned many of dvd's.
the hitch thing is a problem. I have experinced some of the same problems that others have. I have made about six copies of hitch and so far only one works, well sort of. I am using an Apex dvd player and a Koss my Apex usually plays everything and my Koss never wants to play. So normally if it plays on my Koss it will play on just about any dvd player out there. However with hitch it is just the opposite. Hitch will play on the Koss but not on the Apex. With the Apex many of the same problems listed. Mostly playing the previews and the main menu but when I press play it goes to a black screen and stops. I have used all the software listed, and some working on two more ideas if it works I will post my results. However thanks for all the info. I did find out a few things. For the new guys on the block just hang in there sooner or later someone will find out the trick to this Hitch problem. Just keep trying different things, each person computer is different what works for me might not work for you.

For those of you who have tried everything they can think of with the DVD Shrink Program, and are still getting bad burns, I would suggest this final solution. Download and run "Menu Shrink" on the Hitch VIDEO_TS file. That simple change will pull a bunch of totally unnecessary garbage out of the file (along with some User Prohibited Operations that are missed by both Decrypter and Shrink.) I tried Menu Shrink on my own "Decrypted Files" and it works just fine - So, that ground has been tested and covered for you.

As for the final burn, I would not recommend any other program except Nero's latest OEM or the Standard "Pay For" Version for this job. I tried an ISO burn and got mixed results - then, I tried Cyberlink's top of the line compression/burner program and also got mixed results.

Nero, delivered a perfect burn each and every time.

VSO's Copy To DVD and Prassi's ONES are both absolute gems for burning :)

Well i just did this by selecting everything down to vts_10 then i selected the folder i ripped it to with re-author in DVD Shrink and just burned the movie with the 5.1 audio. So for some of you having this problem this may work for you.

I used CopytoDVD to burn this movie and many others and it is a top notch program, also I use CloneDVD to encode the file to the hardrive after ripping with Decrypter :~)

Try the trial of version of AnyDVD, I just used that with DVDShrink and it made it through the analysis fine. It removed the ArCcos, puppetlock and the two bad sectors. Then do a re-author on the movie, it has a lot of garbage.

Sure, Rae, go ahead and burn the file directly with Nero.

I just suggested the extra step for those who were following along and didn't have (or want to use) Nero's Burning program.

Everyone seems to have their own favorate DVD Burning program - Mine is Nero - However, I have others that I use from time to time as well.

okay, thanks mike.
i think i've done with the hitch thing. it works on my pc and my movies also seem to work on other dvd players. now, maybe this question (and most of my others) are for another thread, but 1)why do the movies that another person burned work on my dvd player, but my burns wont work - and 2)how can i make my burns more universal so that they will also work in players like mine?
thanks for all your help!
