Hi there @John123, does this bypass the latest version protection, (at least I'm guessing its a new version)? I tried ripping a dvd I bought for my kids, "Nickhalloween" [spongebob and stuff]and it wouldn't work. I'm using version 5.9.4.1. Will remove or fix anything else, just not this one. The movie plays fine with no problems too. I tried ripping with DVDDecrypter, DVD Shrink, and CloneDVD2. All came back with a bad sector error.
Nickhalloween and spongebob are movies that I have already done and my daughter is presently enjoying. I used AnyDVD version 5.9.4.1 and clonedvd2 (latest version 2.8.9.2) to back them up with no problems. If they all came back with a bad sector error when backing them up, even though the original DVDs play well, it's possible that you've got a bad press and the drive is having a problem with reading them correctly. I would suggest you return the DVDs and exchange then for another copy at the store, then try the backup process again on those.
You could also try using the ripper that is now part of AnyDVD as of version 5.9.1.1:
New: Added "AnyDVD Ripper". This little tool repairs defective DVDs
while copying them to your harddisk. It can be started from the menu of the AnyDVD fox icon. It can be started as a stand alone application from the start menu as well, so it can be used even if AnyDVD is not registered and the trial period has expired.
It is identical to FixVTS (http://www.videohelp.com/~FixVTS/) but instead of fixing problems "in place" it copies the files to your harddisk directly from the source DVD. It fixes the problems while the files are copied. Some DVDs which have severe mastering defects e.g., "Menace II Society" R1 (US) can now be copied with all DVD copy tools (elby CloneDVD, DVDShrink, etc.)
You can access it by right clicking on the red fox in your task bar and use it to rip the files to your hard drive, then use clonedvd2 to shrink, reauthor, and burn to disk.
Still isnt working , it says the drive dont support this firmware . I went to the store where i bought my pc and told me that toshiba are trying to reduce piracy so the drive will lock on region 1 (mine is ) , and told me dont copy movies cos its not good for my laptop :S:S
What the, It's totally legal to make copies of your "owned" originals! That's BS, they should at least have that mentioned as part of the specs. You got totally screwed. That sucks man.
