@MR1234,

Just to correct your post, Alkohol's guide is for Ripguard corruption. I am not sure if it will work on ARccOS, because in the past, I have attempted something like that and got errors like "reached end of VTS too early".

To Sariel, I think you might have some spyware stuff on your pc. Now I'm not saying you do but I once had the same message and it turned out I had a Poopload of spyware stuff and addware crap. I had to get a program to clean it up. Hope it's not the same problem I had. Cheers!

JaguarGod-For 'Sky High' I used Decrypter in IFO mode to see that four cells in Ch 1 were 17 frames long. I unchecked all but #5 and Ch 13 whose cell was 15 frames. I ripped the rest of the main movie in IFO mode then everything else in file mode. I then used IFOEdit as per your usual instructions to correct IFOs. Then used Shrink and finally burned with Nero. No problems. I also did a test as per Alkohol's instructions - no problems. I can't quite correlate these two approaches. Any advice?

That is pretty odd. I would have thought the guide I wrote would not have worked on Ripguard...

The only difference between the two methods is that the Extra PGCs are still there with the VobBlanker method. DVD Decrypter most likely recognizes the bad cells in chapter 1 so it will place dummy sectors. This is the same as skipping them in IFO mode and then fixing the VTS.

I guess IFOEdit also fixes the extra PGCs, but I am not sure what is does exactly since I do not own a Ripguard movie.

This is good news though, because at least for now, there are more methods (options) to back up these movies.

@JaguarGod

It's good to know that there are several methods are able to rip and backup RipGuard and ARccOS without AnyDVD, DVD43, DVDIdle Pro or DVD Region Free+CSS isn't it. Your guide for ripping Sony's ARccOS on the Advanced forum is great, I must concord.

I haven't tried "Stealth" with PgcEdit, VobBlanker and DVD Decrypter per my usual method yet, but I'll try in a few days (for experiment) and I'll you know how it goes. If for some reason it doesn't work, then there's always a alternate way around.

On the other hand, for Sony's ARccOS, Cynthia's got a really great guide with DVD Decrypter with PSL2 plugins, PgcEdit and FixVTS as well. I think it's good that we have all these awesome programs that can handle ARccOS flawlessly without AnyDVD. I'm not saying (dissin') that AnyDVD is bad, but I like to use VobBlanker to "blank" out any junks, such as FBI warning, bad protected sectors, and other irrelevant previews, etc.

Somehow, I think newbies think that PgcEdit, VobBlanker and IfoEdit is hard to use, but really it's not. And I know that most of them will prefer AnyDVD, which is a one click, but I believe the more you play (experience) with, the better (more advanced) knowledge you'll receive in the end. Have a great day buddy!!

I'm not JaguarGod, but I'm glad we could help. It's good to know that we don't necessary need AnyDVD, DVD43 or other cracking engines for ARccOS and RipGuard as of now.

attn:JaguarGod-More Ripguard-"Brothers Grimm" essentially the same as "Sky High". Same approach, same results.
"The Great Raid" had the same corrupted cells in vts 01, main movie, but also vts 04 had 5 pgcs which each had two chapters. The first chapter of each pgc had 5 cells, with only the last cell being good. I unchecked the bad cells and ripped each pgc in vts 04 in IFO mode. I unchecked the bad cells in the main movie and ripped that in IFO mode. I then ripped the rest of the stuff in File mode. I then used IFOEdit in the usual manner but encountered problems. I got VTS Sectors. Still got warning messages. Got Shrink to accept it but Nero warned 'not to dvd standard'. Burned it anyway and plays fine in computer and on tv. Any suggestions?

It is possible that those were real. What happens if you rip those cells?? I am thinking that those are some extra features, which are usually not protected. However, if it worked, then everything is fine.

I am not sure what the "not to DVD standard" warning is about though. If there are problems with those PGCs later on, you can always use VobBlanker to blank them out.

attn:JaguarGod-When I rip VTS 04, Shrink won't buy it. That's what prompted me to investigate past VTS 01.

@jgould2,

Nero may just be a bit picky then. If Shrink accepts a movie, there is no reason for there to be a problem. There could have be some cell commands or something that Nero does not like.

Good work on your investigating of the Corruption though.

I finally ran across a Ripguard movie "Landscapes in the Mist" (NOT by Universal or Dreamworks by the way) and it was pretty simple. I did it slightly differently than in Alkohol's guide. I left in all of the extra PGCs except for the last one and blanked out some cells in Chapter 1 of the main movie. This worked as well.

Just a question though, Does DVD Shrink get past the initial (quick) Analysis straight from the DVD? I ask this because the movie I have gave DVD Shrink no Problems when I analyzed the DVD (before the rip). Just after the analysis, there was 1MB of unreferenced material.

is there a Mac equivalent of VobBlanker? MacTheRipper does great ARccOS extraction, but doesn't provide a file mode, or a VOB blanking ability.

thanks!

I've tried Alkohol's method and now I get invalid access to memory location.

I used DVD Decrypt and then VobBlanker and the Shrink. That didn't work at all. Then I tried DVDFab then VobBlanker then Shrink. This time when I open the files with Shrink I get "Failure to read file VTS_01_0.vob Invalid access to memory location". Please help.

All software is most recent except DVDFab is v2.9.6.5.


(If it helps, I'm running an emachines W2260 WindowsXP, AMD anthelon XP 2200+ processor, 60GB HDD, 256MB)

Try blanking out the corrupted cells as well. These will be the very short ones. There is a chance that those corrupt cells are still causing problems.

I've never used VobBlanker before but it seems pretty straight forward. The problem I'm having is opening the Video_TS.IFO. Ive copied Sky High using DVD Decrypter but when I browse to open the file in VobBlanker, it says "Video_TS.IFO file not found" (even though I can see it). It finds the files easily straight from the disk but that doesn't help. When I "Process", I recive an error that I reached the end of VTS too fast (or something like that).

So, I have the VTS filees on my back up hard drive and can't get VobBlanker to "find" the file. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to rip it with DVD Decrypter via Mode, File F or DVDFAB Decrypter in order to function properly with VobBlanker. It won't work if you ripped it with Mode, ISO, Read R on DVD Decrytper.
