Its like there isn't a disc in the drive, don't know what to do. Tried ripit4me, dvdshrink,dvd decrypter & others to no avail! Its a Sony dvd.

I ripped mine with Ripit4me 1.7.1.0 and latest AnyDvd running in the background. No probs ( both discs, full disc mode)

I don't have AnyDVD, is there a free download? Thanks

Have you tried ripping with DVDFab HD Decrypter? It is completely free and updated often to keep up with new releases.

I have had it for several days, can't even get my pc to read it, just spins in the dvd burner, then it stops & ripit4me says STIP avalible & waiting for burner to be ready flashes on & off!!! DVDFab HD Decrypter 4 doesn't work either. I have tryed everything I have. No AnyDVD don't have the cash to spare right now to buy it. Thanks for any help!

I think a lot of peoples' problems with (being unable to) rip dvd's is due to the burner or dvd-rom not being good enough. I always use decent dvd-rom drives for ALL ripping (i never have ripping issues), but recently i started using an old dvd burner as a ripping drive, and it was unable to rip a brand new dvd. Tried a few different programs, even DVDFaB Platinum wasn't playing ball (disc was just spinning, DVDFab was just looping, unable to finish detecting the disc). Then i hooked up my previously used dvd-rom drive and bam, it ripped thru it like butter.

I'm back to my old trusty dvd-roms for ripping for good now..

This is the only DVD that I haven't been able to figure out, if I could get the files on to my PC I could get it!! Thanks for suggestion

Yeah let us know how you get on; when all the latest updates to the few top programs have been tried, and others post to say they've been successful in ripping a new movie, the culprit would most likely be the ripping drive. Dvd burners can be fast rippers, but just don't compare to a good old dvd-rom drive. My main dvd-rom is 5 yrs old now, and just refuses to stop ripping, though it should want to, it's ripped quite a few thousand movies in it's time :)

Well I'm kinds new at this but I think its a dvd rom drive its say E drive. What do you think, whats the difference?

A dvd-rom is only for reading dvd's (and cd's), a dvd burner can read dvd's, cd's and burn dvd's and cd's :)

yes clonedvd 2 + anydvd worked fine

dew4j, try a firmware update or use another drive to transcode the movie. your drive is the problem

I'm a novice when it comes to this kinda stuff, how do I do a firmware update & I don't understand what you mean about using another drive, my dvd drive is E. I have clonedvd 2 but not anydvd. Thanks for your help

This just gives the specs of the drive, but doesn't really give any information to help you out. Open up Imgburn and go to Mode -> Build and copy all the information from the right hand pane into this thread please.
