can't rip new SONY protection (THE DA VINCI CODE)

@ BIGTOXY69

I agree with you! I agree with everyone! BUT! why not try the free way? Works for me.

 

@basilj

Because I like the EASY way and the $34 for AnyDVD was the price of two movies. A real bargain!

 

I submit! You're the man garmoon. I'm only a junior member.

Peace

 

hey ....well ...i was having a hard time running ripit4me then dvd shrink ....so the method that worked for me was the new dvdfab decypter3 then VOB blanker then i ran it through dvd shrink....that works like a charm ....

 

Don't really know why some people are having issue ripping and backing up this (DA VINCI CODE). I've tested 2 methods and so far both worked flawlessly.

* DVDFAB Decrypter 3.0.3.8 (Beta) ripped flawlessly within 15 minutes.
* RipIt4Me 1.5.6.0 ripped smoothly within 29 minutes including RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter and processing via FixVTS.

I did 2 backups, (DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker) I transcoded with Nero Recode via "AA + HQSR + Assign Best Quality to Main Movie." The other one (RipIt4Me), I encoded with DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.70 using 3 PASSES. Both backups came out perfect, tested, played and there's no glitches what-so-ever.

Yep, I'm sucha VobBlanker-holic, lol. My kind of modification "full disc mode = Main Movie + Menu" and no junkies (i.e. FBI Warnings, useless Logos, Advertise, Trailers, Features/Extras, etc.)



Regards.

 

If you select only the stero track you get almost 100% compression.

 

Ripped it with AnyDvd , ran it through VobBlanker ,Shrunk it and burned it …no problems.

I have to say I’ve become a VobBlanker-Holic too.
What a great little program !
I use to run into backup problems that Shrink couldn’t handle, but now, hardly ever.

VobBlanker even fixed that Nero Burning error that I and some other people here are having….and allowed me to burn without errors.
Wow…very cool program.

 

To those who have used AnyDVD I have tried and my dvd drive locked up. I do have the latest version. any input on this other then wait for the new release???

 

I don't know why that happened to you Anydvd worked like a charm for me.

AnyDVD 6.0.8.2 ,DVD Shrink and ImgBurn.

Peice of cake!

 

RippinMad, try uninstalling the program run a Registry cleaner(CCleaner) do a disc cleanup defrag reboot and reinstall anydvd before reinstalling make sure your firmware on your drive/burner is up to date

 

Yeah, tried that too. AnyDVD works for everything else but quits half way though the DivCode. Is everyone else here just assuming that it will work with that DVD just because it works with everything else? No matter which method I use with AnyDVD about 1/2 way through the app crashes.

 

@jeffguroo

Try ripping the movie to HDD with AnyDVD's ripper function and then open the video ts folder in Shrink or Recode and proceed as usual. To access the ripper right click fox head and select rip video-DVD to HD D

 

Alright, with the latest version of AnyDVD (uninstalled, downloaded, and reinstalled tonight), it would not decrypt, not with CloneDVD2, not alone, not ripped, not to the HDD Sam I am. AnyDVD would simply quit half way through and the executible would terminate. There is a way however.

This is how I managed to do it:
Downloaded RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter, FixVTS and Shrink(if you do not already have it) <there is a handly link to each under the 'Downloads' menu item.>
Install or unzip all.
In RipIt4Me, click the 'Wizard Mode' button and set it up how you want it. It will load up DVD Decrypt... run that.
When that finishes in 'Step 4' of the wizard, make sure you click the 'Process with FixVTS' button, after that just click the 'Open with Shrink' button. I am sure that every one here knows how to use Shrink.

 

Just tested the burn, works fine.

 

Can I use RipIt4Me with DVDCloneII???

 

YES i do it all the time . after "RipIt4Me"its done with FixVTS don't let shrink start .open clonedvd 2 click the browse tab in clonedvd 2 find the folder (you should rename it so its easy to find before you open clonedvd 2) then transcode and burn with clonedvd 2 ,works like a charm.

remember you can use the ripper in anydvd and do the same thing but actually i think "RipIt4me" gets you a cleaner file!! dvd decrypter will always be the "King Of Rippers" !!

 

Thanks for the shout back. Most appreciated! Should I just download DVD decryptor instead of RipIt4Me AND will it also work with DVDCloneII? I get weary about trying new software. AnyDVD and DVDCloneII are idiot proof and have always worked well. However I sometimes get a copy that will hang up on playback near the beginning or end of the movie and I can only use TDK -R or I can't copy at all. I used to be able to use any brand, but for some reason lately only TDK works. Fairly new at all this.

 

@RippinMad

Find yourself some better media than TDK. You drive might need a firmware upgrade to recognize the other better media like Taiyo Yuden, or Verbatim. Or Made in Japan Maxell or Sonys.

Firmware updates

RippinMad , yeah i would try a firmware update . the TDK isn't very good media your always better of with Taiyo Yuden and or Verbatim

i would use "RipIt4Me" WITH DVD decrypter being it imports PSL files for you to do the newer movies and you want to run FixVTS to cleanup the file.

you can do the older movies with dvd decrypter in file mode alone without problems then clonedvd 2 BUT not the newer movies.

theres lots of combinations you can use.

try using the ripper in anydvd also then transcode with clonedvd 2 and burn. remember to burn at 8x max. also

 

Ive been Chicken S*#@ to do a firmware upgrade. Ive been warned that it could screw things up. Not too tech savy. Is this a legit concern or just go for the upgrade? My burner is a few years old and am sure there is an upgrade for it.
