Is anyone having problems backing up SKY HIGH or MADAGASCAR? I'm using MTR 2.6.6 and DVD2oneX 1.4.2 on a year old iMac 1.8 Ghz G5. With MTR, at the end of the ripping process I get the message that it had BAD SECTORS; please try the rip to see if it works. I then start up Apple's DVD Player and everything plays fine. No problems whatsoever. So I then open DVD2oneX to start the DISK COPY process. I do not select Movie Only. (I have also tried the Full Disk ARccOS Extraction setting.) The Ratio is set to CONSTANT and here are the results: On Madagascar, DVD2oneX gets to 90%; on Sky High it gets to 40%, and then gives me these two error dialog windows: [bold]Alert The logical block number does not match with the actual position in the file. Make sure you copy all files from the DVD to HD in file mode.[/bold] and the second message is: [bold]Alert For full diskcopy you need to copy all files from the DVD in file mode.[/bold] Again, I [bold]DID[/bold] set the copy option to DISK COPY to copy the entire disk. Why I'm getting these messages doesn't make sense. I have looked for persons having similiar issues but I only find PC users having problems with these two movies. But the people that respond to them tells them to try the latest version of their ripping software. And in response, the people with the problems says the newer software fixed the problems. So my question is this. Is there another ripping program available for the Mac other than MTR? I heard that there is a new beta version MTR 3 available but the author now wants money for it. What is the Mac community going to do if no one comes up with a "fix" for this apparently new copy protection scheme? I have copied over 200 titles now and these two are the newest released titles and the only ones I have had this kind of trouble. So... is anyone having trouble copying SKY HIGH or MADAGASCAR? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
I ran "Sky High" through DVD Decrypter, with the latest version of AnyDVD running in the background, and saved the results to a folder on my hard drive. AnyDVD did have to alter or remove some elements that aren't normally indicated, but I didn't record the results of the AnyDVD analysis. I started DVD Shrink and when I attempted to load the previously saved movie files from my hard drive, DVD Shrink choked and issued an error message: "Invalid Data in the VTS_01_1.VOB file". Tried restarting Shrink and reloading the files and got the same results. This is the first time I've had DVD Shrink choke on any movie. I closed DVD Shrink and used the latest version of CloneDVD2 to burn the movie only, no special features or menus. The burn went perfectly and the copy runs without a glitch on my set top DVD Player and PC PowerDVD player. For what it's worth !

Thanks. I looked at http://ripdifferent.com but I couldn't find it anywhere. From what I can tell, it looks like the author has gone underground. I know he was wanting people to make "donations" for his work but he wasn't getting too much success. In fact, he was mad that someone made a donation, downloaded the software, then notified his credit card company to reverse the charge. Now that was a pretty rotten thing to do. THAT is probably why he has vanished out of sight. So I'm still in the dark as to what to do with these two titles. Thanks.
If you keep getting that error message using DVD2OneX Launch Toast 7 > Select the 'Video' Tab > Select the 'DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS' Radio button Select your VIDEO_TS Folder, Pop in a Blank DVD, and Burn This process takes 1/2 Hour (approx) - But the result is a flawless Rip NOTE: However, please note the Ripped Version can not be Re-Ripped Best Of Luck !
DVD Shrink to hard drive. Then 1click DVD (Checked Menu) to DVD+R on a Pioneer A09. Flawless on PC not sure about the Mac, don't have one yet.
