Hiya,
I'm having the same problem (as rafigold) with Seinfeld Season IV discs... Discs I & III ripped fine... Whereas discs II & IV give "Failed to read Sector XXXXXX - No Seek Complete" errors...
If anyone has had this problem AND overcome, please post the solution... Ta!

I solved the problem for Disc 2 by ripping with DVDFab Decrypter. Then used vobblanker followed by Shrink. Have not had any luck with Disc 4 but will let you know if that changes.

Hi all. Brand Newbie here. I have been backing up DVDs for quite some time now and have hit my first ever hurdle!! I have been reading this thread with some interest as I have just purchased Seinfeld Series 4 here in the UK (Region 2 discs). I am having the same problems as you Region 1 guys I guess.
I successfully managed to back up Discs 1 and 3 using a combination of DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. I cannot back up Discs 2 and 4 no matter what combination of software I seem to use and I hve tried every single one of the suggestions in this thread! The closest I have been is using MagicDVD Ripper combined with AnyDVD running in the background. However, when I come to "open files" with Shrink that's when the error kicks in - invalid reference to the 02_07 VOB file. Anyone had any joy with Region 2 discs?

Are you using the original version that you can download from the homepage of Magic?
There is also a beta version - adapted for DVD Shrink to solve the problem with .VOB files that don't physically exists on your DVD.
You can find the beta here: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=52051
Also when you run that beta version - don't use AnyDVD at the same time.
WTF... You cant use any HTML tags in here...

Cynthia...I have just tried backing up using the version of Magic DVD Ripper that you suggested. It ripped fine with no errors. However when I come to open files with the latest version of DVD Shrink, I get the following error message:
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. Invalid data in C:\DVD\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_7.VOB
Any suggestions?

Hiya,
I've just used said beta version of MagicDVD Ripper... It said it had completed 98% when it choked : "Failed to read VTS_04_1.VOB"... Only managed to copy 17.2Mb of the 98.4Mb file... And it couldn't copy any further than that... I tried ripping the rest (sans VTS_04_1.VOB) in file mode, but it choked on the first file, so I gave up... The last 121Mb it couldn't copy, including VTS_04_1.VOB - it goes up to VTS_08_0.VOB...
I tried loading (drag 'n drop) the 98.4Mb VTS_04_1.VOB file in VLC Media Player 0.8.1 and WinDVD ... VLC pretended that nothing happened, and did pricely that - nothing! Whilst WinDVD threw a spazz and decided to "not respond"...
THEN I REALISED I HADN'T EVEN PLAYED THIS DISC YET!
Played it in WinDVD, then went back to the beta MagicDVD Ripper, and ripped the remaining files without a hitch! When burning an ISO of the files via Nero Burning Rom 6.6.0.3, I recieved a warning "DVD-Video files reallocation failed" and an error "DVD-Video files compliance ignored"... But it burnt through anyway and seems to playback without any problems...

Hello all, just read this thread from begining to end and boy does my head hurt imagine all the time wasted just trying to get that last backup. I have had some problems of my own lately and it isn't consistently one studio but seems random. I have used dvdfab on some of these and it has worked. I am going to check out some of these solutions here for other problem discs but can anyone just suggest the best combo to start with currently I use DVD Shrink and decrypter with the occassional dvdfab express. I also have a question that might be for another forum if someone can point me in the right direction about burning dvd games with decrypter or what software is reccomended.

Comeone had trouble copying Resident Evil 2? Cripes., I just dumped it onto my PC and burned it with Nero, it was less than 4 GB.
I ran it through DVD Decryptor once, but I really didn;t need it. I thought Shrink could not do it cos of the way the disk was formatted, it was formatted strange.
Also, I had bought the damn thing, and After extracting the disk, it stopped playing! I just brought it back and got a new copy.
So, is there some crap with Resident E 2 that makes the DVD refuse to play after you have copied it?
WHAT BUNK!

Cynthia: I have finally backed up ALL DVD discs of Seinfeld Series 4 successfully!! Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I used a combination of MagicDVD Ripper (Beta version) as you suggested and then IfoEdit. I followed the guide you mentioned earlier on IfoEdit here:
http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45099
After editing the problematic VOB files with IfoEdit, DVD Shrink opened the DVD stored on my hard drive perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
The only problem I did encounter which is new for me is this: When I tried to burn the hard drive files with Nero 6 on my (Pioneer P-108 Burner) to make a dvd it kept failing even at 2 x speed (this has never happened before). The only work around I could do was to first run a "simulation" at 4 x speed and then "burn" the same project again but this time to a blank dvd - and it worked fine! Any ideas on this? I use good quality Ritec blank discs and very rarely create coasters!

Could you possibly give a step by step description of how you backed up disc 4 so that i can give it a go as well? i have been stuck with it for some time.
Thanks

Hi there - hopefully this will work for you!!
If you haven't already got magicdvdripper, then obtain from here:
http://www.magicdvdripper.com/download/MagicDVDRipper32d.exe
magicdvdripper instructions
Insert DVD disc that you want to back up. Select it from the source drop down box. Select a folder on your hard drive to rip the files to. In the menu "Options" - "settings" - ensure that all 4 boxes are ticked in the backup tab. Select the option to "Copy the disc fully" in the main window. Hit Start.
Once magicdvdripper is finished you need to download IfoEdit - Stable Version 096 available here:
http://www.ifoedit.com
and work through the following guide completely starting at Solution 3:
http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45099
You may be prompted to overwrite the BUP files during the Save point using IfoEdit. If you are prompted - just click Yes.
After you have completed the IfoEdit procedure you then load up DVD Shrink and select the option to "open files". Browse to you hard drive folder where the DVD files are and DVD Shrink should open them now with no problems. If you get a similar error to this:
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. Invalid data in C:\DVD\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_7.VOB
but describing a DIFFERENT File name then just repeat the IfoEdit procedure but select the relevant offending file e.g. If DVD Shrink couldn't open up VTS_02_7.VOB then the IFO file you want to open in IfoEdit would be VTS_02_0.IFO.
I hope this works for you. As I say my discs are Region 2 discs.

@Cynthia:
The moovie, after isolating the VOB files that related to the feature, were less than 4 gig, so I did not have to shrink it. Actually, when I come across a moovie that does not want to be read by DVD-Shrink, I just turn on my Region+Css Free and copy it direct to a folder, then I use DVD Decryptor to locate the files.
I think, in the case of RE2, that I ened up with 2 separate moovie files, one for the feature, and another for the "making of" stuff.
When I do a backup, I back up all of a moovie, not just the moovie, cos I like to watch with subtitles on, and I always copy ALL audio streams, except for any french.
RE2 ws just a strange case, cos after I copied it to the hard drive, the DVD would not play anymroe in my DVD player: It would show me the root folders of the DVD just like when I put a disk of MP3 files into my player.
I have a little POS "Aspire" DVD player, and before that it was a Cyberhome. You can buy these things brand new at radio shack for less than a hundred, and if you buy the extended warranty, you can keep bringing it back if it breaks.
My Cyberhome player, however, destroyed a couple of my DVD's, before I ever made backups: I can no longer watch my directors cut Hellboy.
So, getting back to RE2, I do not know if it was my POS dvd players that messed up the disk, or the act of copying it. All I know is that I returned the DVD, and they gave me a new one.

Thanks very much for those instructions. They worked fine for me though i had to run through it all again for VTS_03_1.VOB, which DVD Shrink was not happy with.
So far that is the most problematic disc i have had to back up.

i did what creaky suggested on page 1 of this thread.
"@rafigold - try vobblanker (free), point it at the directory on your hard drive where fab put the movie, let vobblanker do its thing to a directory, then point shrink at that directory"
and that did the trick.
