I successfully made a copy of a DVD about two weeks ago.. but now I continue to get a "read error"... it continues to "retry" over 10 times before aborting... do you have ANY suggestions?
OK, for the details:
I have DVD Decrypter, as well as DVDFab Decrypter. The program I was getting the error message on was the DVD Decrypter. Next, I tried DVDFab. The first time I used it, it appeared to work... so I copied the files onto a DVD. The DVD started to play, but it was very glitchy... not viewable. The next time I tried to Decrypt (started completely over using DVDFab) I got this error message:
VTS_02_0IF0 contains bogus data and can't be repaired. Hmmmm.... Interesting.... The DVD the same exact one I copied about two weeks ago, with no problems.... Ideas????
Also what brand of discs are you using ? Poor media can cause bad problems. I prefer Taiyo Yudens or $onys. Burn discs at only 1/2 of rated speed, no more.
LisaDiane forget dvd decrypter if you're backing up newer movies
Better Process
dvdfab decrypter to rip
dvd shrink to transcode (you may need fixvts to clean the file further if dvd shrink can't transcode it after using dvdfab decrypter) but in most cases you will not need fixvts then imgburn to burn to a blank DVD
Important use good blank media like Taiyo Yuden (which pretty much you can only get online) Verbatim you can get at Best Buys etc. or Sony it pretty good media also and keep your burn speed at 6x to 8x max!
