OK, I am really getting frustrated trying to backup this movie.
This is one of those movies that friends keep wanting to borrow and it has developed a few minor surface scratches, so I want to back it up before anything happens to it.
However, no program I use seems to be able to get past a certain VTS file. Every program I have used gets stuck at VTS_01_4. Thus far I have tried DVD Shrink (with and without AnyDVD), Nerode Recode 2, DVDFab Decrypter, and ripping straight to HD with AnyDVD. Like I said it only encodes to that file and then just shuts down.
If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi Cinch
Looks like you have a tough one there. Try and buff out the scratches as best you can with something non abrasive in a non circular motion.
Like car wax, toothpaste etc. I've tried both and sometimes it works :)
Try ripping w/ DVD Decrypter. If haven't already try movie only.
There's also isobuster. When it hits a bad spot it will ask if want to insert a dummy file. Doing one here and there would probably be okay for playback but too many and you would have gaps in the playback.
I tried the DVD Decrypter and this is the log I got.

Not sure if that tells you anything. I'll try the wax idea as well as the isobuster. We'll see if I can make any progress.
Set up DVD Decrypter as follows... courtesy of Scubapete.
Quote:First, let's start by Fine-Tuning DVD Decrypter. Let's take a moment to fine-tune your DVD Decrypter's settings. First, it should be version 3.5.4.0. Go to "Tools", "Settings", set everything to "Default". Then in the "General" tab change, "Removal Method" from "Normal" to "Aggressive", in "File Mode", "tick" Remove IFO/BUP PUO's." For ripping in the "ISO, Read Mode", "tick" "Remove IFO/BUP PUO's" there also. in the "CSS" tab, under "CSS Cracking Method", choose "Brute Force ~> I/O Key Exchange" and "On Failure" choose "Yes". . IMPORTANT: In the "I / O" tab, in the bottom right, "tick" the box which says, "Ignore read errors". This helps with some Mfgr defective discs and it is an excellent setting for dealing with lightly scratched discs which may cause reading problems. We're now finished with our settings here so click "OK." There's no reason to change these settings. DVDD is good ripper right out of the box, all we did is to give it some "teeth." (Lol :)
Under "Mode" we have a choice of either File or ISO Read to rip our DVD. For problematic DVD's I suggest ripping in the "File" MODE - IMPORTANT: Remake a folder and name it VIDEO_TS (just like that, case sensitive) to put your ripped files in. If you are ripping a multi-angled DVD OR an episodel disc I suggest ripping in the ISO MODE as that will copy every nuance of a DVD making an absolutely perfect copy. Now, go rip your happy heart out - :)
