My mate done a copy of Team America World Police (uncut and gross!!)for me (under my dodgey conversion guidance), and created a DVD in region 2 from a region 1, using WINAVI.

I cannot copy it, for love nor money.

When I try using trusty DVD Decrypter, it tells me that the decrypted file seems to be encrypted, during ripping, indicating on screen that this is rather odd and shortly afterwards freezes up on me.

Don't know what he did, but it plays back fine in PC, Xbox (unchipped btw) etc.

My codecs are up to date, program updates are up to date etc.

DVD Shrink can't handle it and it's already decrypted. Nero just turns into a useless zombie.

It's the only DVD that's got me beat, he could make a fortune in the encryption business lol.

Anybody got anything similar? And more importantly a solution.

Maybe he fannied around with some settings in DVD Decrypter so that I could'nt copy it again.

Is he friend or foe? Or could it be that he uses Memorex DVDRs which playback fine but when copying it precisely causes the problems.

I am going to borrow the copy he did my bro to see if same errors occur, this would indicate that he is a Prodigal Son on the Encryption side of things.

Otherwise, Memorex are SH!TE. I used to swear by them for cheap blank audio tapes in the 80s, what has happened to them?

I doubt there is any encryption on those disks at all, but more than likely the crap media used to produce them that is giving you the fits ;-)

You could try updating your firmware to your drive and see if that helps, but it just probably wasent a ver good copy to begin with. Did you just try to copy as an image first using Nero? That could work..

Good Luck :-)

If the thing will play in your PC but not in your DVD player then that usually means that you have something wrong with the DVD structure. It looks to me like this was a downloaded movie?? Just a wild guess..Why would your mate use WINAVI...

Try bbmayo's suggestions first and see if that works. Hopefully it will! If not and you really want this movie you could try what I'm suggesting. It may or may not work!........

I'm guessing that the start sector address on the copy are damaged because of the fact that your PC can read it. Your PC does not read start sector address and I'm making an assumption that your X-Box does not read headers either.

At any rate Cynthia created and compiled an exellent guide for a possible fix. The one I posted looks like a more specific guide than the one I found at http://www.ifoedit.com/

Sometimes doing a "mock strip" with IFOEdit can resolve this problem with the advantages that all of the chapter points and audio and subtitle information remains intact.

1) Launch IFOEdit and open the VTS_01_0.IFO
2) Click on VOB Extras and make sure all check boxes are checked EXCEPT:
Remux, Rebuild PTS, Split to 2 DVD-Rs, and Remove IIvu/Angle Point.
3) Select a new destination directory.
4) Click OK.
5) make sure Correct IFO Tables checkbox is checked.
6) check all streams that are to be kept.
7) Click Strip It.
8) make sure Correct IFO Tables checkbox is checked.
9) check all VOB Ids.
10) Click Strip It and let IFOEdit process the files
11) When IFOEdit has finished, close IFOEdit

In the new destination directory, IFOEdit may have created a couple of zero length files (VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_01_0.VOB). These should be removed.

12) Restart IFOEdit
13) Open the one of the new IFO files in directory D
14) Click on "Get VTS Sectors" and say OK to all of the dialog boxes

Good luck with this if you try it. When using Ifoedit, make sure you make destination folders and to keep the various files sorted out as you go through the process. I've done this just a few times and it actually works. Ifoedit is a complex program at first but nothing else works as well.
