Here is another thread on this movie http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/317077 Do not know what you tried, and since this movie does not come out here until next week it is kind of hard to guess what the problem may be.
False alarm I used DVDfab- VOBlanker-DVDshrink-Nero. It took several attempts but it finally worked. Don't know why it gave me such a hard time. Thanks anyhow arniebear.
yeap, Fab and VobBlanker will backup anymovie. my way. Fab/vobBlanker/recode2/copytodvd. 99.999% no problems.
@ rick6, hey man how did you have the options set up on vobblanker, or was it set to default, I'm using dvdfabexpress then vobblanker but the movie keeps coming out with only the previews for other movies and the main menu for some reason--any help much appreciated
I think I may have gotten it now, had to try it on my main pc (finally got it freed up so I could give it a go) this was the hardest movie to backup since the fog-for me anyway-
As with many Sony DVDs, this one came loaded with excess crap. As we speak, I'm running it through VOBB. I've blanked all the unnecessary stuff (including all those damn warnings). Once it's done with this, I'll be running it through Shrink to compress it--and I'm not expecting any errors I'll post the results.
I never managed to get VobBlanker to work for me in fixing the Sony ARccOS FUBAR files but I found a new edition of something most all here now about that does fix the screwy Sony ARccOS files. I just updated from DVDFab Decrypter version 2.9.6.0 to version 2.9.7.2 released 02/12/2006! A CORRECT DVD Shrink ISO file of Capote is being made as I speak! You'll find it fixes all the file problems automatically leaving the 'main' movie file as title 1 {something like 2 hours long in this case}. Get it here for FREE HERE http://www.dvdidle.com/en/free.htm Haven't tried it with Chicken Little yet ... Also "The Squid and the Whale" from Sony uses ARccOS. Happened to read in some financial news something about the SONY CEO telling a Sony VP they're spending too much money trying to protect their DVD movies with encryption.

What was the error you got with VOBB? If you check out the link in this forum, I just made a post describing how I did this one. Regardless, I'm sure AnyDVD would handle this in conjunction with any program.
I just did movie only on this one, use AnyDVD and tried the ripper and then Nero Recode. It is exactly the same junk as was on The Fog. Movie only after removing the 2 channel audio shows no compression at all.
I was able to back up this movie using AnyDVD & CloneDVD2 This disc is loaded. You will need to most advanced decrypting sofware such as the two prgrams mentioned to back up this entire film with no trouble.;p
Capote=AnyDVD>DVDDecrypter>NeroRecode; recode would not open movie. AnyDVD and Decrypter will get files safely to a HDD probably 100% of the time.
I could not ger dvd shrink to even SEE the main movie files of this, or of The Squid and the Whale--must be some new kind of protection? So I used DVDFabDecrypter on both and they worked brilliantly--then I sorted with dvd shrink and the main movie files were there--anyone know the new protection that is being used and any other programs that have as much control over downloading as dvd shrink does? With DVDFabDecrypter you have to download the entire disc, and as I always ONLY burn the film--no menus, extras, etc.--this takes more time than the usual 10-12 minute download
Help! I used DVDFab but cannot get the file to work with shrink. It's only showing the extras. Any advice?
razzi75 - Did youuse the latest DVDFab Decrypter 2.9.7.2 version released 02/12/2006? The fellah writing the DVDFab Decrypter program is constantly updating it with fixes to alleviate Sony ARccOS encryption problems. An earlier version of DVDFab Decrypter didn't work for me on Capote and The Squid and the Whale, but the latest version DID. 2.9.7.2 fixes problem on DVD Shrink encounteres from not locating the main movie when copying some Sony ARccOS protected DVDs, like "The Cave" and these two movies....
Could some one direct me to where I can go to get the latest version on DVD Fab 2.9.7.2. please. Thanks.
Capote will not back up for me. I tried AndDvd, DVDFab. Are there any other programs I can use to get this dvd backed up?
Yes, I used the new version - I updated it today but I am still having the same problem. I was able to update Squid and the Whale, but not Capote
