I've done LOTR - Ext. Version [PAL R2]
Smartripper had no problem my end , in FILE mode.
If you ever have problems with quit yes/no at 99% again , use DVD Decrypter [tick ignore read errors]...Bob's your Uncle & Fanny's your Aunt !: )
ASPI Layer is not needed for most people.
(thats usually a suggestion when not knowing what the problem is, I have an ASPI layer within Nero 5.5.10.20 and even though Smartripper doesn't see that ASPI layer it doesn't stop Smartripper or anything else from not working).
I just encountered this problem for the first time after approm. 400 dvds. I've been fighting with 'Resident Evil' and it rips fine until I get to 91%, the 5th vob and only 1 1/2 minutes to go, smart ripper stops and keeps searching for the key and then finally asks me if I want to stop. With dvd2one, it does it's thing until it hits this spot and stops at 91%.
Says that it can't decrypt. I will try some of your methods and hopefully it'll work.
Elayne I've done a back up of Resident Evil PAL R2 using Smartripper then DVD2One myself..no problems
I hate to say it , but have you tried cleaning the DVD at all (dont mean to patronize) ?
Yes, I've cleaned it so many times, it isn't funny. There are no scratches or fingerprints, this baby is clean. I have tried ripping this dvd about 5 times already and always the same thing.
