I'm trying to back up a copy of Superman The Animated Series Vol 2 for a friend. It's a disc with data on both sides. My friend tells me it's seen a lot of play time and abuse and the picture is destorted at times ..... I was able to get the one side no problem on the other side, I get so far through with both fabdvd and dvd decrypt and both gets stuck starting at VTS01_5.VOB and continues on. I get messages like "uncorrectable error" ..... "fail to read sector" ...."unrecovered read error" .... I used some toothpaste for the scratches and clean the disc throughly. Still no luck .... Is it a lost cause?
no its not lost go into decrypter tools settings io and tick ignore read errors set your retrys to about 5 decrypter will try to read the sector if unsucsesfull it will move on each sector is only split second of video so a few missing is no great disaster
Thanks! I'll give it a shot and let you know how it comes out. Update ..... dang .... it didn't work. I watched my friend disc and it freezes up pretty bad in spots ..... anyway decrypt is still giving me I/O errors. Good suggestion though .... thanks.
be patient it can take along time (several Hours) my second system is fighting with one of my kids pokemon movies at the moment
Oh so!! You have the same problem with the kids! Man they can tear up a good dvd can't they? Okay so what you are saying is I should leave it alone? But what do I do when I get the error box? Hit retry or ignore? What?
Oh oh ..... I did tick ignore and it still gives me the I/O error message. I told it to ignore it. Now it's trying to retry to read the disc .... it's up to 34 tries .... is this what it is suppose to do? Also I see that the fail read sectors are different ..... does this mean it's working through the bad sectors?
I have it running now but should I start again and just let the message come on and do nothing? Did I mess things up when I told it to ignore .... maybe it was retry ..... then it ask me if I wanted a decryption key from someplace else and I told it yes. Was I right in doing so or should I just start again? It's showing I have 13 read errors with almost 300 retries .... it this what it is suppose to do?
so it couldnt find a key for one of the vobs ? do you have the latest version of decryptor 3.5.4.0 ? have set your retrys to 5 or less in I/O in settings ? and ticked ignore read errors ? see pick in my previous post
That's correct it could not find it .... I do have the lastest version .... I did tick the ignore read errors, but I didn't do the thing about the retries .... I will do that and start again. This time I will leave it alone and see if it works itself out. Will let you know what happen. Thanks
I did download that program a month ago, but never installed it. I will do it now .... just let it run in the background will decrypter is running correct? Oh and when I get the I/O error box decrypter won't continue until I clear the box. I am given the choice to retry or cancel. What ever button I press I get another I/O error box with the same message only this time I get an abort, retry and ignore key. Decrypt just sit there until I make the box go away .... that's went I get the "no decryption key has been found for VTS_01_5.VOB. Would you like to attempt to get and use a decryption key from another file in the same set?" I tell it yes .... that's when it keeps getting all those read errors ..... I'll install that program and see what happens.
Well I installed the dvd43 as you suggested and I made sure the ignore read errors and retry amount tick to 2. I ran dvd 43 in the background it stopped the read error box with decrypter, but alas it didn't work. I left it running all night. After 376 read errors and 7797 retries .... still stuck at the 47% mark ..... made no progess what so ever. Thank anyway ..... do you know where I can get a guide for ISO Buster?
