Copying Disney Movies

@id3372
Let's review some highlights shall we?

hmmm, yup you were just saying....

 

Well can AnyDVD split a movie in half(one movie on two discs) so there is no loss in quality?

Can it then edit the navigation structure of the first dvd to include a "story continues on disc 2 message" and edit the navigation structure of the second movie so it skips straight to the movie, if you want it too?

Can AnyDVD extract a Music Video into a VOB file from the extras section of a DVD.?

 

Can dvd decrypter?

 

that's not the purpose of AnyDVD. that's like asking a dog to meow. AnyDVD is a helper program; it's job is only to disable copy protection, though i do list many other things it does here.

apples and oranges, amigo.

 

Well you can use DVD decrypter or DVD43 to decrypt the DVD.
Splitting it into two pieces is actually quite easy with VOB Blanker.

If you want to get fancy with the navigation structure, this requires PGC edit.

 

Forget all those other programs, we all know what they can do... this all started because you said dvd decrypter was all you needed to get your movies... compare anydvd alone with dvdd alone, and what do you have?

 

umm, yeah DVD Decrypter works 99% of the time. On the rare occasion it doesn't work i just use one of my other freeware utilities. Don't spend money on software!!

 

well, with AnyDVD's new ripper portion, not only does it eliminate copy protection, but it rips, too...rips anything. DVDD will rip and burn, but only rip stuff a year and a half and older; both require other programs to fully function. stalemate.

*edit*
don't spend money on software?....that's a [bold]bad idea[/bold]. spend money on good software. this supports the development of more good software. and if it's free, you donate to the site.

 

I have yet to find a DVD that I couldn't rip using free software. The most current release i have ripped is V for Vendetta and that worked just fine with dated software. You forget that there is only so much they can do to defeat DVD ripping. People can not patch their dvd players to play the latest CSS so DVD is fundamentally a closed system. Puting in bad sectors in DVDs was a clever idea, but DVD Decrypter can still handle that. There are only so many clever ideas to stop copying before the DVD becomes unplayable in retail DVD players. I have yet to find a DVD I can't rip.

You sure do seem to be singing the same song as the recently deceased robspacedout1 and fetaledward. Could you be one and the same?

Auslander, your just wasting you time with this one. He's been spouting venom about AnyDVD for a while in this and another thread now as id3372; and under different pseudonyms before. What gives him away is he's a fine grammarian.

*sighs* i seem to waste a lot of my time on here with people that are deadset in their opinions without first applying the rules of logic and reason.

 

Guys, thanks very much for all your help. Using RipIt4Me worked perfectly. But why is it there is always one that needs to blow his own horn, and try to make everyone else think they're superior? I thought the idea of this forum was to help, not to bignote yourself. Again, thanks for everything.

 

the net is the only place some people can feel big.

 

Understand completely. But is it worth it? I mean, no one knows who you are, especially if you use numbers for your ID, so why bother? Some people... really need a reality check. If somebody has given valid aid to another user, by all means chime in with various other solutions. But to just rabbit on for the sake of seeing your name on the screen, it's just sad.

 

*shrugs* i don't pretend to understand people; that's why i'm a physics student, not a psychology student. but i do share your sentiments.

 

Nikki, you have already figured out forums... there are the posts you read, sometimes twice and then there are others that you skip completely or read just for some humor.

 

Hello. I am trying to make a back up of a Disney movie using ripit4me. During playback, of the copy, it skips over recorded material that I know is on the disk because I see it when I view it in reverse. The original plays fine and the back up disk is clean. Any thoughts?

 

What brand of media did you use? You can buy cheap media or you can buy good media cheap!

 

Thank you for replying. I have to admit some ignorance here, I am not certain what media refers to so I will guess it means brand of dvr-r. It is HP 16x. The burner is also an HP; DVD 740. I have had a lot of success with other back ups using this system but the Disneys are a challenge. They have have succeeded in making it more trouble than its worth.

 

I can't think of anything other than this being a media problem... Well, another couple of "possible" causes. Are you multi-tasking with your computer while backing up? You aren't putting sticky labels on your backups are you?
