brobear thouhgt you would like this info. New Version AnyDVD 5.9.0.0 (Beta?)
http://sandbox.slysoft.com/SetupAnyDVD5900.zip
Password Zip: ripper
5.9.0.0, 2006 02 09
- Important: When installing this version over an existing
installation, you must reboot your machine. Otherwise the changes
made in the AnyDVD device driver will not have any effect!
- New: Added workaround for DVDShrink / Nero Recode "Out of memory"
error when copying Macrovision RipGuard protected discs with
menus, e.g. "Madagascar" R1 (US)
- New: Error zones on RipGuard/Arccos/PuppetLock protected titles are
now replaced with "valid material". 3rd party tools like DVDDecrypter
will now work better (no more "Pack Header Error" messages - another try,
this time it should really work).
- Note: To use DVDDecrypter with AnyDVD set I/O Model to SPTI or ElbyCDIO.
Set CSS Cracking method to none. Disable checking for structure
protection.
- New: Added "AnyDVD Ripper". This little tool repairs defective DVDs
while copying them to your harddisk. It can be started from the menu of
the AnyDVD fox icon.
It is identical to FixVTS (http://www.videohelp.com/~FixVTS/) but instead
of fixing problems "in place" it copies the files to your harddisk directly
from the source DVD. It fixes the problems while the files are copied.
Some DVDs which have severe mastering defects e.g.,
"Menace II Society" R1 (US) can now be copied with all DVD copy tools
(elby CloneDVD, DVDShrink, etc.) Many thanks to the author of FixVTS!
"AnyDVD Ripper" is a tool intended as a "last resort". It is not
beautiful, and some of its messages cannot be localized yet.
- Fix: Hang after update check with some system configurations

I think I'll wait till they get it out of beta. If you notice the posts I've been doing on the heavily protected new releases, I've suggested FixVTS as a means to make problem rips compliant. Now I wonder if the guys at Slysoft were reading my posts. LOL I've already done Madagascar and a number of the new releases, including the ones I listed earlier. ARccOS, Puppetlock, Ripguard, bad VOBUs, and bad sectors (combined) are what's on a bunch of the new releases. I'd say the new AnyDVD will shave off a few steps and save 10 to 15 minutes per job.
On second thought, I think I'll give it a shot if I run into another new release needing it. Problem is, I've already done most of the releases needing it. ;) They'll probably have the new version out of beta before I have another occasion to need it.

The boys in the "dirty tricks" department for the factory DVDs sure are making it hard on the newbies.

DVDFab Decrypter and FixVTS are both free. I've used those as well as the AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter. So ripping with DVDFab Decrypter, fixing compliance errors with FixVTS, transcoding to an ISO folder with Shrink, and burning with DVD Decrypter or Imgburn is all free. So the freebie group can still get by. That is if they know how. ;) Also, there is the method of using DVD Decrypter with PgcEdit and a PSL2 plugin to do rips and then using FixVTS or VobBlanker to correct compliance issues.

http://www.imgburn.com/ They forced LUK out of supporting the ripper, but there's nothing stopping him from supporting the software portion of DVDD. That's the official site. There's downloads all over.

I would imagine, nothing wrong with burner software. ;) This one doesn't seem to get too many updates, the last version has been up since 12/05. You're welcome.

I tried to get AnyDVD today but the Finnish web site said they no longer sell or support it. Can I get it somewhere else or is there another program I can use in conjunction with CloneDVD. Thanks in advance

Thanks Arnie Bear for the quick response. BTW, after installing that and Clone DVD, do you start Any DVD first then start Clone DVD? TIA

Does it really take that long? ;) Just messin with ya Arniebear. If left to start with the Autostart (default) the app is ready before you are. Also, as soon as you see the bright red fox icon on the taskbar (if you opt for manual start) the AnyDVD is ready. Some PCs are faster than others. Mine has it up so fast, by the time I glimpse my watch, the app is ready.

As a matter of habit, I start AnyDVD first. The key aspect is having AnyDVD up and running when you go to backup a protected DVD. It has to break the encryption and other protections. You can open CloneDVD 2 install the DVD and then start AnyDVD. You have to have AnyDVD running when you go to start the recording process with CloneDVD 2.

Arniebear,
Thanks. The programs work fine and pretty quick, however, I have this question. The first DVD i recorded worked fine. I use a blank DVD-R. The second DVD, Lord of War, was copied to another blank Memorex DVD-R. When I placed it in my DVD player, a message said this type of media cannot be played. Why then did the first DVD work and not the second. Any ideas? TIA

Was the first DVD -R a Memorex as well and were they the same speed and made by the same manufacturer?

The first was burned at 4X while the second one was at 8X. The only other diffference was the audio selection, i.e. There were different Dolby selections and I really did not know which one to pick.

Write errors may increase as the write speed increases. Try backing the speed back off to 4X. This can sometimes have an effect with dodgy media. Give it a try and let us know what happens. If not the fix, then at least one possibility out of the way.
CMC has been the manufacturer of a lot of Memorex media, and a number of people have reported problems with it. If the slower burn doesn't work, try another brand to see if that helps. Get something like the Sony +R, there's no CMC in those.

Download DVD Identifier and let us know what the manufacturer code is on the media you're using. It's free.

CMC does appear to be the mnufacturer. I also copied this information. Maybe it does not copy at speeds faster than 7.X

DVD X Copy was the first software I used. I since have upgraded to AnyDVD, Shrink, Clone, etc. but I kept my Xcopy just for the RescueDVD program that came with it. Whenever I have gotten the cyclic redundancy errors - or any others that for one reason or another the others had issues reading, I use Rescue and in easily 99% of the instances it came through like a champ.

Did another burn at 4X solve the problem?

I am just now starting to burn it again at 4X. However, the first one I burned that did not play on my home DVD player plays just fine on my laptop. So...the program did burn it OK..it just won't play on my home unit. Why would the speed affect which unit can playback? All my other Memorex DVD-R have played fine on my home unit. So, even though the first one works on my laptop, I am going to burn it again at 4X just to see if that makes a difference. Will let you know in about an hour

brobear...one question before I start the burn. I'm not sure what to check under the Audio & Subtitle Settings
Audio Streams--do I pick English Dolby AC-3/6 or the AC-3/2 or both?
Audio Channels--2,5, or 6 channel
Audio Encoding--Dolby AC3 or DTS
TIA

just check the 6 channel the audio will default out to 2 channel if your not running it though a surround sound system. and if you have or want Dolby AC3 or DTS check it also. either way wont affect the playback of the movie
