    Does anyone know how to bypass dummy files when backing up a dvd?

    You run the DVD files through VobBlanker.

    The use of VobBlanker might seem intimidating, complicated. Is piece of cake! Al you have to do is select input folder, output folder and click "Process".

    Did you process ALL the files? Click "Proc all" in the right hand side, before hitting the "Process" button at the bottom of the screen

    flytyer,

    What movie are you trying to backup? And what software did you use to rip it?

    Good luck,

    Rich

    I used DVDFAB to rip ...that failed.....Tried Vob blanker on the dvd as well it failed The dvd I'm trying to copy is fly fishing Large western rivers vol 3 and 4. Vol 1 and 2 worked with out a hitch . I used Copydvd detector to find that it has dummy files.
    Any ideas now?

    Are you using DVDFAB Express, if so, do you have the latest version, which I believe is 2.9.7.2. And I take it that this movie is encrypted, correct? Have you tried ripping with ANYDVD, they offer a 21-day free trial @ http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html

    Fresh out of ideas, for now.

    Yes I have the newest version of DVDFAB Express
    The movie just has dummy files that won't allow me to copy it
    I tried ANYDVD before it the program does nothing or I dont know how to use it properly. When I went and clicked on ok it disappeared of the screen.

    When you click ok, ANYDVD then goes down into the naviagtion bar of the Taskbar, so it is, or should be running.

    What exactly are the error messages from VOB or DVDFAB?

    Is it possible that the disc is dirty, scratched or a bad press?

    HTH,

    Rich

    I figured out how anydvd works now and that did not work either. I cleaned the disc as well. I keep getting read errors

    I would guess that to be correct. I am working on one of my own, that has the same problem, and I don't think I am going to solve it.

    Later,

    Yep, I got it ripped!!! I cleaned it with a cotton ball and windex, and then dried it with a dry cotton ball. I really didn't think it would work, because there were some scratches on it also.

    So good luck to your venture,

    Rich

    starting with a clean disk is very important! Can solve many problems before they crop up!

    Words of wisdom, as usual.

    Hey buddy,

    It took me hours to finally backup Legend of Zorro, I finally used DVDFAB, VobBlanker, and Recode2, and it was all good.

    Later,

    Rich
