Here is a simple guide for those that can not backup "The CAVE". Looks like SONY has created a new deadly ARccOS now, this one is kinda itchy a lil bit. *Note: this is specifically for those that have tried other methods and yet, failed to have any success at all only.

This will solve your misery, YES.... you hear me -- if you follow exactly/wisely as the guide stated, then you should NOT have any problems at all. I GUARANTEE you 100% that you'll be able to have a successfully working "full disc" within roughly an hour. I've tried and tested my backup disc and it works flawlessly.

*Note: if you've tried to rip it with DVDFAB Decrypter (successfully) or DVD Decrypter (will have a success if only you know how to use other alternative ie psl) into the hard drive, but once you imported into DVD Shrink or Nero Recode, it (The CAVE) will give you an error of "not compressable" or something similar, and or you may end up with a "black screen" when playing your backup. This is because it has one of the new Sony ARccOS. Apparently, for this movie they've put at least 11 fake/bad cells inside VTS_02_*.VOB, which is right before the movie begins (I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's in the very beginning before the actual movie starts to play).

Here's what you need to do:

<><> TOOLS NEEDED <><>

DVDFAB Decrypter v2.9.6.6 http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
PgcEdit http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html#download
PSL2 plugin, Here: Many thanx alkohol: http://forum.digital-digest.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3743&... did the trick. Or try here, if the above don't work http://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2DTRFL0EGLBQW1HJIF1PM6O037
or VobBlanker http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm

*NOTE: before ripping the movie with DVDFAB Decrypter, go into your hard drive and make a folder name THE CAVE and a sub-folder VIDEO_TS. Or if you're like me and want to "BLANK" out that FBI Warning sh!t, then make another folder name THE_NEW CAVE and a sub-folder VIDEO_TS. Now you can EXIT out from your hard drive.

<> <> STEP 1 <> <>
Rip the movie with DVDFAB Decrypter

<> <> STEP 2 <> <>
Run/process the movie files with PgcEdit in combo with PSL2 Plugin via using FixVTS.

<> Open up PgcEdit

Once PgcEdit is done, DVD Shrink should open up right away if you have DVD Shrink installed on your system.

<> <> STEP 3 <> <>
Transcoding or shrinking with DVD Shrink

<> <> EXTRA STEPS <> <>
If you're like me and want to get rid of that annoying FBI Warning or if you just want to cut/edit/preview and BLANK out any unwanted scenes, then you'll need to launch VobBLanker.

<> Open up VobBLanker

(NOTE: it used to have 11 of these fake/bad cells before running PgcEdit and FixVTS, but now it's only 2 left)

<> <> STEP 4 <> <>
To transcode/encode with Nero Recode 2 (NOTE: this is for those that wants to use Nero Recode 2 only, like me)
