nicknrh,
I believe the source of your problem could be the compressed hard drive. Also, as mentioned previously, you have barely enough space to be processing video files.
I think if you put in another HD without compression you would solve all your problems.

I have been having the same problem. The DVD I have been trying to backup is Ned Kelly Here is my system:
Athlon XP Mobile 2600+
Asus Nforce 2 Motherboard
1 GB RAM
LG GSA-4120B DVD Burner
Windows XP Pro
79GB Hard drive space free.
Nero version 6
My hard drive is de-fragged. DMA is enabled. The firmware on my burner is the latest available.
I have tried Smart Ripper 2.41, DVD Decrypter 3.2.3.0 and DVD Shrink 3.2. I don't believe Nero can be the problem, as I never get past the ripping stage. Every single time I try to back up the DVD, with all three programs, it locks at 49%.

Do you have WinDVD or PowerDVD? It gives you a choice of playing a DVD in the drive or from a folder. Choose the video_ts folder. But the file there must have been ripped in FILE mode, not ISO. You can also play the video_ts file from Decrypter.
I have found tht the audio_ts folder is always empty. It is nothing to worry about.
If you don't have a player, here is one that is freeware:

not nicknrh.. new guy
I am using PowerDVD. I have been using smart ripper in the file mode to the vido_ts folder. I continued on selecting individual VOB files, and it appears that VTS_01_3.VOB is the only problem child so far. It is the one that stalls about 85% through. It is a new disc so I don't think I've put any scratches on it yet. I will check as soon as the other VOB files finish.

goblinfx ... you've narrowed down the possibilites, and that is good. Just to be sure, open NeroTools and check Configuration to see for sure that everything is DMA enabled. And then check the ASPI tab to make sure you get the green bar on both Nero and System ASPI.
Let me know what you find.

goblinfx...welcome to AD. Here's how this online dialog works. I was posting with nicknrh when you slipped your question in. That's OK, but you need to wait while I answer nicknrh. That's why his name was in my answer, and not yours.

What I think is, your source DVD is bad. Here is a utility that will thoroughly evaluate the DVD. It is called DVD InfoPro. Look for a horizontal row of icons at the top for different functions. InfoPro does a lot of neat things.
I would also add that it is not uncommon for a completely new DVD to have corrupt data. It isn't always the scratches.

Sorry about the miss-post.
I'm running DVDINFOPro now.
I checked DMA in System properties/ hardware, but I don't see it in NeroTools. Also, I have green for ASPI with Nero but not system. What exactly does this do for me, and how do I add it?

No problem with the post. :).
1. When you launch Nero InfoTools, there is a "Configuration" tab. Press that and you will see how each Master/Slave drive is connected to the Primary and Secondary IDE channels. All should say DMA on.
2. Here's a link to update your ASPI layer (if this link is down (overuse), let me know):
http://forceaspi18.w.interia.pl/
There are two (2) downloads. One is forceaspi18.exe and the other is chkaspi.exe.
Follow the instructions for installing forceaspi18.
Then, check to see that it went OK with chkaspi. If properly installed, when you check back with INfoTools, you will see that System ASPI is also installed.
BTW, if you have a yellow or red bar, it is likely going to affect your burning.

Thanx for the link to the tool. I'll get to updating my ASPI later. The scanning isn't done yet. You were right though. My master is bad. 330 bad secors and still climbing.

It is possible that you have a corrupt copy of Shrink. I know of one other case where a peron didn't get a complete download, and it seemed to install anyway. This is rare, but not impossible. Go into add/remove programs, remove Shrink, and then re-install with a new download.
I'm a little confused with just exactly what you are doing right now, but please don't do any more burns until we check some things out, OK?
Using Decrypter in File mode (see Mode at top once DVD loads), rip the files to a folder of your choice. Then try to play the video_ts folder and tell me what happens, OK?

I have a little trouble reading the page http://forceaspi18.w.interia.pl/ . I can only read english, and babelfish doesn't seem to like any of my translation choices.

I have been using PowerDVD for some time now, but a friend suggested I trial WinDVD. So I've only had it a few days. It does not play a video_ts file like PowerDVD does. So, I am going to have to find out what we need to do.

I've been having some problems with my own computer as of late. I likely have a corrupt file or two in my operating system. This is fairly normal when trying different softwares all the time...and then uninstalling them. Anyway, I'm going to shut down soon and get things cleaned up. I will let you know when I am back.
Hopefully someone else here at AD will come across this and be able to jump in and keep you on the project.

First, welcome to AD. The best place to start, however, is with reading the rules. The AD forum doesn't knowingly assist in helping people pirate copy protected works ... which is what you have implied you want to do (downloaded a DVD).
On the other hand, if this material is a "public domain, non-copy protected" work, it would be best to post this question as a stand-alone in the category of "DVD-R for Newbies" which is on the front page of the AD forum. This is also a good place to post if you want info on how to backup your privately owned DVD's.
Good luck.

I confirmed that you should be able to play any video_ts folder in either PowerDVD, WinDVD, or Nero Showtime - which is part of the Nero 6 package. If you are unable to do so, you probably need to do like me, and do a clean install. I do one every few months, as do others here at AD, so it isn't that unusal.
You might try the system file checker routine. Here is a link for that.
System File checker - http://www.networkclue.com/os/Windows/commands/sfc.php and
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
The thing is, you shouldn't be having trouble with Shrink, Decrypter, and the players. When it comes to multiple problems, and none can be resolved, it is best to just bite the bullet, and take the time to do a fresh install. To do otherwise just becomes a colossal waste of time.
I will also add that a primary source of problems is caused by malware that is acquired when surfing the net. Get Adaware and Spybot installed to keep this stuff out. They are both freeware. Even without the malware factor, files get corrupted.

Doc409-Thanks for the advice.However,I am almost sure that the problem is with my (MSI)burner.The first one I bought,crashed completely after a week (no read no write);they replaced it - this was less than a month ago-and now I am getting all these problems.I am going to exchange it for a different brand, cos this is driving me nuts.Any recomendations appreciated.
