Best way to do it with DVDXCopy Plat. with upgrade. I watched the whole movie without any itch. or do it with SuperDVD Copy to break the code, then DVD2One to put it into one disc, and burn it with Nero 6 or other burning softwares.

I backed-up this movie this afternoon with no problems at all.
I used DVD Shrink to open it, DVD Shrink in re-author mode to just grab the main title and 5.1 sound, ended up with 83.6% compression which isn't bad then burnt it at 4x with Nero.
Reviewed the copy and it's perfect.

sting.ray & jwpatrick,
Since you said that even your copy played poorly,
Quote:
When I play the Van Helsing disk using PowerDVD the change of chapters around 14-17 will cause a read error.
I'm thinking now that the only answer is, you both have, for some reason or another, a bad mfgr. pressed disc. If it's not too late, take it back where you bought it and see if you can get a replacement ESPECIALLY since the original won't even play correctly.
We've tried everything that I can think of AND it is only that disc you haven't been able to copy, you seem to be fine doing other DVD's, - it can be the only solution.
Let me know how you make out,
Pete :)

Alright for those still haven't no luck like myself here is the reason.
I used Nero CD/DVD Speed to 'Scan Disk' and it turns out that this particular batch of Van Helsing disks have a sector of 'unreadable' data halfway through the disk. Some standalone dvd players like my Pioneer machine will play it without a glitch but dvd writers may experience problems like myself and MarkNZ. The batch in question are the 2 disc collector's edition region 4 discs with barcodes beginning with '5 050582...' or similar.
No matter what program and settings you use it will not be able to overcome this 'unreadable' issue. I have tried all the programs listed above. (but hey prove me wrong!)
Thanks to all the help esp from ScubaPete etc, these people make forums so useful!

I have been burning all my DVD's using DVDShrink + Nero without problems until "Walking Tall". It just would not work so I followed ScubaPeats instructions here and used DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink and it worked fine. Thing is I missed(when printing) the very first part of the instructions so when I got to the DVDShrink part of the procedure there was no ISO file so I had to use "File>Open>and point to the working folder that contained VOB, .BUP AND .IFO files". Now as this worked I am wondering what is the difference between that way and creating an ISO image. Is it better to go the ISO route and why. Funny thing is during the procedure I did select "ISO image file and burn with DVDDecrypter" in DVDShrink but it worked anyway, clever app.

It's OK to rip in the "File" MODE when doing a normal DVD as long as you prepare a VIDEO_TS folder as DVDD doesn't make one and few programs will allow you to capture them when not in the proper VIDEO_TS folder (thank goodness DVD Shrink doesn't need the folder :)
When trying to rip an episodel DVD in the "File" MODE, many times you only get the largest file, not good when there are several episodes there. My main reason for doing it in a ISO image, it gathers 100% of everything on the original, nothing is left behind and a seperate VIDEO_TS folder doesn't have to be made for all the VOB files. (I hate making extra folders :)
Pete :)

Scuba Pete, returned the movie where I bought it and got a new one. Copied without a problem with DVD Shrink and Decrypter. Apparently, it was a bad disk. Thanks for all the help. Really enjoy the forums here and all the great help I get. Keep up the good work.
