The only problem is the protection scheme used on "The Fog" causes compliance problems. You need to process the files with FixVTS or VOBBlanker to make the files compliant. The new version of AnyDVD incorporates FixVTS to solve compliance problems. So use AnyDVD or plan on processing the ripped files before transcoding and burning.

Nero burns either ISO or files. If you want to use DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn to burn an ISO, you need to use DVD Shrink to transcode and create an ISO image.

Buddy, I don't think this thread was about anyone's taste in movies. What you like, someone might think is a piece of crap, and vice-versa. If you have something helpful to add to a thread, that is welcomed, otherwise, I think there is a thread where you can actually voice your opinion regarding whatever movie you might have watched.

the 1st line of my post stated that it was an easy DVD to rip, sorry if I stepped on anyones toes...posted the rest as a bit of humor which it seems some people don't seem to have...whatever...just my opinion.

No, don't worry, no offence taken. But, we know that AnyDVD can do virtually "Any" DVD! It looks that the originator of this thread is looking for more of a free method of backingup though. he/she already has the movie on the HDD. From here on, there is something else that needs to be used, not AnyDVD.
As for how many ways "The Fog" can be done, this dead horse has been beaten sooo many times:

kmad61 here, is aking help with his/her method, not suggestions about other methods!
Any way, as for the humour part, ask me later after I take a nap!

When it was first released, "The Fog" caused a lot of trouble. A person could do the rip, but it couldn't be processed due to compliance errors. Since then AnyDVD has been through a few update versions. If you want to see the problem, just back up to the recent AnyDVD version 5841. At least one of the updates was in direct relation to the type of copyright protection used on "The Fog". FixVTS was incorporated into AnyDVD to solve compliance issues caused by the protection. The earlier problems disappeared with the update. The problem is freeware isn't updated as quickly and as in the case of DVD Decrypter, won't be. The method of ripping with DVD Decrypter, using PgcEdit with the PSL2 plugin, and processing with FixVTS or VobBlanker is the sure freeware method. It's actually easier than it sounds.
@ sillycybe
Just because you don't have problems because you're using an updated retail decryption app doesn't mean others don't. As I mentioned, had you tried to back up the movie when first released, you would have seen the situation that caused a lot of people problems. Since I was aware of FixVTS and VobBlanker, the movie posed no problem, it just took an additional step. For those not familiar with the software offerings, I can see how it would be a problem having non-compliant files. I wonder if you'd have been joking a couple of weeks ago; AnyDVD wouldn't work and DVDShrink would have stalled.

brobear...you're probably right about the joking about it, but on the other hand, I just don't take it all so serious. On the other "other" hand, I'm a CompTia Certified Tech with a background in programming and hardware support. I just don't find it that daunting to make these progs work the right way for me. So I'm sorry if I seem a bit off the cuff at times, I just assume that everybody has the same technical background as me. I guess being a bit more helpful and staying on thread would be better. So again, sorry folks.

Being a CompTia Certified Tech doesn't help if one isn't up on the software available; and that isn't in the textbooks. Familiarity with software could give an advantage as far as understanding function. Take a look around to see what AnyDVD is updating for as well as some of the problems it has encountered. As I mentioned, if one relies on one software for decryption, they're at the mercy of support for the updates. Luckily, AnyDVD is the quickest at getting the job done. Protection schemes involving noncompliance had AnyDVD in beta development to solve the problems, it wasn't an overnight fix. Had there been no problem, I doubt FixVTS would have been incorporated into the app. Anyone doing a lot of backups of new releases should think about buying a copy of AnyDVD; they could backup DVDs as well as a CompTia Certified Tech then. ;)
The more one does DVD backups, the easier it gets. It's not difficult if one understands the nuances, but learning is the key. There are methods that work irregardless of protection schemes, but they're involved and not exactly for the newbies. Anyone willing to wait for retail updates can have good success. One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist or a Certified CompTia Tech to realize how fast AnyDVD would loose sales if it couldn't break new encryptions. Once the software is updated, it doesn't take a pro to use it either.
As for joking, a joke is one thing, belittling others due to acquired knowledge is being elitist; even when unintentional. Just remember, everyone started somewhere and not everyone progresses at the same rate or to the same level. I'm guilty of joking around, but normally I don't pick on newbies unless they're picking on me or putting down things they shouldn't. ;) I'm an equal opportunity offender. I even upset other Addicts at times. LOL

This thread has gone too far off topic. There's been a lot of info supplied on breaking the new copyright protection. For some, it wasn't a problem, because there are methods that have been working irregardless of what the factory adds. The problems are for those using the one click rippers or driver software. They have to wait for updates. (Obsolete software is obvious.) Unless the factory has added something new, the software developers are catching up on updates and the problems are disappearing. So, now we can wait for the next round of copyright protection upgrades from the movie industry.
"The Fog" should no longer be a problem. The copyright protection was addressed and some of the software has been adapted. Also, the better older methods are still working. DVD Decrypter still works, it just needs a little help nowadays.
