AnyDVD - Hold off on upgrading?

@Pulsar

I do not consider simply having an active TCP/IP connection as multi-tasking. Labeling it as multi-tasking is incorrect in my opinion (I've made quite a few programs where I deal with the TCP/IP stack using multiple protocols), because then -everyone- is multi-tasking since the resizing of a page file is more agressive/CPU intensive than send a few k of packet information via TCP/IP.

Though, if its still a concern.. I've done all my ripping/encoding and burning while "connected" to the internet.

 

Are you sure you deleted the initial analysis results?

Mine are located C:\Docs and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DVD Shrink. Lot of folks miss those...
Why are you using Decrypter first? Seems to me you could just open the DVD in Shrink and proceed.

 

@Fastfrank

Read the entire thread bro. I used DVD Shrink first and tried other avenues as well.

 

a tip to ye all,on any dvd turn off auto check for new anydvd version.
under program..


also do not update right away,as wait to see if any bugs are reported..b-4 ye install..a good place to check is here..at cdfreaks

but download it to install it later.....

i been with anydvd and clonedvd since they came out..

 

Sorry, I see it now.
That attempt would have given you a new analysis file with the updated program so it would not have mattered if you still had the file from the original.

I'm sure you are in good hands with Slysoft though. If they do determine it's a problem then they are quick about providing a new update.
BTW, have you had a chance to try it with a different movie?

 

Yes actually. I just completed making a successful backup of "The Forgotten", though "Pirates of the Carribean" gives me the same "Invalid DVD navigation structure" error, whereas before it was simply a pain to rip.

 

I agree Loco, you can lead a horse to water.....

 

@pulsar
So for 2years I've been backing up my movies with Norton Internet Security and Antivirus running while connected to the internet but not actually surfing, so far I've been lucky I guess since my movies have not been a problem. I'll try disconnecting and disabling antivirus in the future. I have never run other programs while ripping and burning. I'm learning so I continue to return to AD. I've even used Memosux DVDs, but not lately.

 

It truly appears as if not everyone keeps themselves up to date with the thread. Whats all this beating a dead horse and leading a horse to water?

I can only assume they're directed towards someone else, if thats the case, any possibility we can get back to the topic... and those with other issues create your own thread?

 

I'm getting the exact same error when I try to back up American Pie Band Camp. I've had absolutely no problems until I upgraded AnyDVD.

 

FYI, I almost never have any probs with having zone alarm and my Avast ant virus running. I even paky games and surf the web while reading with shrink and burning with Decypter, and I have AnyDVD.

Every now and then I may run into a situation whe the back up wont work. But thats a very rare case.

FYI my system is an AMD 64 4000, with 2 GB RAM, NEC DVD burner, and a NVidia 7800 GT GPU.

This CPU is an upgrade from a AMD 64 3000 Barton...no problems with that setup either

 

@LOCOENG

I didn't mean to appear on the defensive, though I will admit that I was becomming frustrated at what appeared that not everyone read every post (thus the progress of discussion) within the thread.

I also thought or had hoped that I made it clear that I was asking what the "beating a dead horse" comment(s) were all about.

Suffice to say, I believe many felt that I was just another strictly ignorant individual showing up and asking questions. It's certainly not a rarity amongst internet forums.

I still say the issues lied within AnyDVD, in fact the last support answer to my three questions -- which I didn't receive until 36 hours after I asked them (a paying customer mind you) what my issues could be -- they recommended use of CloneDVD. That was their answer.

Not exactly the best answer when the customer already believes there may be a chance that problems might have been caused to increase sales of CloneDVD. <shrug> Though, I have been known to be slightly paranoid (or simply, non-ignorant to sales practices and frankly the very existance of monopolizations).

Though, with all that said. I did and do appreciate the assistance I did receive from those that made replies with inquisitive and thoughtful content. (ie. didn't treat me as just another ignorant poster)

 

AnyDVD 5.7.3.1 has been released, which might fix the issue.

 

It does not fix the issue. 40 year old virgin STILL comes up with the same error message right from the start.

 

@slosten

Submit the error report that you got from 40 year old virgin to slysoft and then they can address it properly.

Cheers.

 

It's the same exact one the thread starter who sent numerous ones to them got. I was just stating that thier "updated" 5.7.?.1 series is STILL faulty since someone suggested trying the "newest" version 5.7.3.1

 

@slosten

No problem, I thought that there may be a slight variation of your error as compared to hexluthers. One never knows. The more informatin that slysoft gets, the quicker and better the fix.

Cheers.

 

The reason I was pursuing the multi-tasking "dead horse" was only to ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding the problem. There have been times trying to help people & information is difficult to decipher. So I like to be very clear in my questions.

I never treat anyone as an ignorant poster.
