Bigorange: Your findings are dead on! I was only able to burn the Widescreen version only of the movie. That's fine by me. Thanks for the tips on how to make DVD Decrypter more agressive! I have to give those a shot! Definitely the latter for me! Sal
Guys I noticed that some people are having trouble creating a .PSL file. Just a an FYI the .psl file is only a ".txt" with the psl instead of a txt. You can create one by opening notepad in Windows, pasting the sectors from the webpage, then "save as". In the "File name:" area you will already notice the .txt extenstion is highlighted. Just start typing in the name you want for example "name.psl" where name = whatever you want to call it. Make sure it overwrites the ".txt", do not leave it as .txt . Make sure you remember in which directory you choose to save it. Finally in DVD decryptor, click on files -> import protected sectors list, and you are ready to rip. Enjoy.
Right. That's what I did. Even if I chose "all files", Notepad wanted to save it as a text file. All I did was save it, then go back and manually knock off the .txt extension, so it just read .psl For those of you ripping this movie with DVD Decrypter and then burning it, do you have dual layer burners and media? I was able to rip the movie with the patch, but I couldn't do anything with the file afterwards. I still needed to compress it, to fit it onto a single layer dvd. I ended up using Anydvd in conjunction with DVD Shrink, then burned with Nero 6. I was still only able to extract the widescreen version of the movie without menu's and extras. Sal
You should have been able to do everything but the fullscreen version. There were no read errors anywhere else in the film. jim_dandy, LOL, was it worth it? Probably not, I give it a 5 on 1-10, tho Brittany Murphy and a couple of others looked pretty dam good,LOL.
Actually, while this does work for some, it definitely does not work for all. Unfortunately the hard copy read error doesn't work with anydvd on this movie(little black book). I played around with it for a while and found that the read errors are only coming from the full screen version part of the DVD. Since I prefer the widescreen version anyway, I just omitted(unchecked) the full screen in DvdCopy 3 and it ripped and burned fine with anydvd running in the background. I couldn't use shrink to analyze because it couldn't get past the fullscreen read error in it's first minute of analyzing. Same with decrypter, however any app like DvdCopy 3, Clone Dvd 2, which lists the segments will work just by unchecking the fullscreen title of the movie, then proceeding as usual. I had no problems with Clone DVD 2. Any DVD is not a ripper. It does stop the read errors. I was recomending simple steps for newbies. Set Any dvd was the only solution I found that worked and it worked with the entire dvd.
Actually anydvd is a ripper of sorts, specifically it enables apps that can't rip because of encryption to be able to rip. It is specifically an "on the fly" tool which enables a backup app to rip and burn without writing to the hard drive. I was only correcting you in that it's hard copy read error feature will NOT work for every movie, I was not knocking anydvd. I have it and it runs in the background at all times when my PC is on.
I think you were being a bit generous with that rating...most definitely a chick flick...im gonna have to go watch RE2 now, to get my testosterone back up to acceptable levels LOL
I just did and tried ripping Little Black Book again out of curiousity. It does nothing different than having the the psl patch added to the previous version of DVD Decrypter. I still can't do anything with the files in DVD Shrink. I sure hope that makers of good movies don't catch on that this type of encryption actually works. Sal
xboysal, The new version of decrypter will get around it, but even so, I managed to get around it without it. Hard copy read errors are nothing new, only fairly new in DVD encryption. try another program instead of shrink. DvdCopy 3 or Clone Dvd 2, even recode has worked. Altho Recode is almost the same as shrink except one burns and can't rip and the other rips and can't burn. All have free trials. I highly recommend DvdCopy 3. Best app out there besides RB/CCE and it's very fast, 30-45 minutes on a movie.
i would like to thank whomever it was that posted the psls for little black book. i had spent about 4 hrs trying to rip it and kept failing. they were a great help. will ther be more movies like this? so hard to rip?
hey big orange love the football players at the bottom of your posts as i am a very big tennessee fam myself. i have had season tixs for the 20 yrs.
if you notice, all the movies that we all have problems ripping are all from Sony....bourne supreamcy, resident evil, shaun of the dead, little black book, the grudge, the forgotten, and christmas with the cranks are just the start of movies that we will or already have problem with.
mjlucky13, Cool! My family has had season tickets for about 35 years now. I've been going since I was 12. Always nice to see another UT fan. We should be in the hunt for a National Title next year. We were one of the youngest teams in the nation and we don't lose hardly anybody. And we kicked BUTT in the Cotton Bowl without our starting QB's(well Schaefer did play for 1 or 2 plays,LOL) On the hard copy read errors, it's nothing new, just new in DVD's. So far I have only found one movie I couldn't get around them on. Ned Kelly. And guess what? I went and traded my copy for a later release and it didn't have them!
i didnt have any problems w/ bourne supremacy or shaun of the dead. little black book and res kicked my butt.
even if one of the frosh qbs transfer we still have jonathan crompton coming. hes supposed to be as good as if not better than ainge and schaeffer. we should be very good the next few years. the only question will be w/ the o line. getting back to the subject i did have a hard time w/ starsky and hutch as well. that is really the only movie i have never been able to rip.
dvdripdvd, I didn't have problems with any of those either except RE2. BTW, it's not exclusive to Sony, Ned Kelly is from Focus. You all must remember, this is nothing new, it's only new to DVD, and so far I've only seen that one movie I couldn't get around but others I know did, tho it took some doing. By the time someone figured it out I had already traded my copy for a later release which DIDN'T have the read errors. There are sevral things you can do to get around hard copy read errors. Usually one or a combination of several will do the trick. Find where the read errors are and then take it from there. (Lots of times the errors are in menu stuff, but not the movie itself). Besides, the new version of decrypter, out today has already solved the problem with LBB, but you could've gotten around it even without decrypter. Sometimes it may take a little time and experimenting, but usually you can get around them. You can check out some of the methods used here, I plan on expanding them later this month, but it'll give you a jump on hard copy read errors anyway: http://www.zentarium.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101
mjlucky13, That's strange, I didn't have any problems with S&H at all. What were you using and what happened? BTW, I think we'll be fine on Offensive line and our linebackers are the envy of the country. I think our weakest spot will be secondary. You're right about Crompton, he is supposed to be awesome! Fulmer's biggest problem will be keeping 3 of the best college QB's in the nation happy and not leaving,LOL.
