Seems more and more like multiple encryptions on 1 title, from easy to difficult, and varies by local geography. Just the luck of the draw if you get an easy one or not to back up

first off, has anybody tried the dvdfab 5.0.9.8 Beta? sorry if you've already posted, i didn't see anything about it as i skimmed through the thread.

i hate these dvds with structure problems - a lot of times you think you have a good backup and you go to play it, and it doesn't play right! break out your -rw discs and remember, if you can rip it, no matter what it looks like, something can be done. i always make full disc copies. here's my experience with this one:

1-ripped with dvdfab 5.0.2.8 (i don't upgrade until i need to and i saw on here that dvdfab hadn't cracked this one yet)
2-opened with shrink and noticed the main movie in "unreference material"
3-compressed with shrink anyway and burned to an -rw disc. actually, everyhting was fine with this copy except that there were no credits at the end. it was good enough for me, but i felt like playing with it.

4-so, i ran the files through vobblanker. it fixed the structure in shrink except the credits were all out of whack. they played at the end and also repeated a few times at the beginning before the main movie started.
5-i made a re-authored main movie only copy using the cut/crop feature within shrink to remove all of the credits at the beginning. DO NOT COMPRESS IF YOU DO THIS. My file size was 1 MB larger than the original main movie file size.
6-re-ran through vobblanker, processing only the main movie title set. i blanked title 34 (the credits and other junk) and replaced title 34 with my re-authored version that had credits included.
7-opened with shrink, did away with extra audio streams and what have you, and shrank to fit on a SL disc.
8-burned to -rw, verified in 2 different dvd players. both started and stopped where they should and played the credits at the end. and i watched one of these all they way through - played perfect, no skipping.
i didn't see anybody talk about using the replace feature in vobblanker, so i hope my experience helps!

I'm not sure if anyone is still having a problem with this movie but after trying various different methods I found a way to get a functional full disc copy with dvdfab

This is for those who don't have anydvd or clone dvd and have already used up their free trial:

1. Rip the full disc with dvdfab 5.0.9.8 beta

2. Open with vobblanker and then open the main movie cell list, blank cells 1, 3, and 4. (Optional: blank any extra's/trailers you don't want) process.

3. Compress with rebuilder or shrink and then burn with the app of your choosing.

You should now have a fully functional menu and a main movie that starts at the universal logo and ends at the very last seen looping back to the menu.

(I believe some one mentioned blanking cells 3 and 4 for main movie only. Blanking cell 1 cuts out the credits yet still retains the dvd structure necessary for the menu loop).
