I've been trying to get a copy of The Crow, and every time I try to rip it I get about halfway through the movie and then it locks up (kinda the same way it did with RE: Apocalypse). The original is in perfect condition. I tried DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and DVD X Copy. Ideas anyone?
Try these settings for DVD Decrypter Borrowed,OK Stolen! from ScubaPete Even custom rigging DVD Decrypter doesn't take that long and is far, far superior to your settings.
NOTE: First, it should be version 3.5.1.0. 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 is an excellent setting for dealing with lightly scratched discs which may cause reading problems.
Thanks but that didn't help. At about 49% it started getting read errors and ended up with like 750 retries before I cancelled. There is a giant smear on the disc which I think is the dye. There are no scratches on the disc so this is the only thing I can think of that could cause this issue.
