    What is Pathplayer set to?

    Are you getting an error?

    Please include as many specifics as you can. Simply stating that you're "having troubles" doesn't give us much to go on.

    Trying to backup the main movie. Pathplayer is set to "enable when necessary". (region 1)
    Title 1 is auto selected at 1:52:13.
    I am getting an "Error while reading" message at about 99.8% done. Clicking ignore for each message does no good.
    The disk itself looks fine.
    Installation of DVDFAB 6.2.0.5 did not help

    DVD Shrink 3.2 seems to get the job done.

    Darned if you aren't right about Shrink alone.
    Maybe the keyword is "seems" as I haven't watched the backup.
    TY for the heads up.

    shrink works but in full disc mode the main movie includes 4 titles.... so you end up with 50% compression. think 1 is the right one? maybe ill reauthor with just title 1

    Why not just use VobBlanker to blank out the unnecessary files? In DVD Shrink I would set the output size to Dual Layer or custom and create a Folder, then open in VobBlanker and find the right title, blank out the others and then Open back up in DVD Shrink. Therefore you would have a full movie rather than just the Main Title. I know, a lot of work. That is if you want more than just the Main Title. So no more 50% Compression.

    Ideal dvd copy already has the fix, I copied the full movie no problem with just the trial version on the new update.

    I used an older version of DVDfab 5.2.2.6 and it decoded it with no problem and then used DVD shrink.

    In AnyDVD, had to right click on AnyDVD Icon and save video to Hard Drive. Haven't yet tried to blank out titles.

    I just tried DVDFAB 6.2.1.5 Beta and it also failed to work. How do I find one of the older versions that was mentioned earlier?

    anyone else only seeing an 8MB size English 5.1 audio track? That can't be right. I'm using AnyDVD & DVDShrink 3.2 What gives?

    Thx mjcrazy for that post regarding older dvdfab. The version I used was 5.2.3.0 and worked without a hitch.

    I tried Ideal DVD Copy and I did get a copy, but the dvd menu was missing as well as the opening scenes and first chapter. I may have done something wrong with the settings since it was my first time using that program.

    Dvdfab 5232 also works but could only backup movie only as file was too large otherwise. Makes me wonder why latest version of Dvdfab will not work but older ones seem to rip this ok. Any ideas?

    I'm using DVD Shrink 3.2 and it won't compress it enough, full disc compresses to 6,659 but I re-author it to just back up the movie and it only compresses it to 4,760. It won't let me lower the custom ratio lower than 99.2%, what's the trick here? Thanks.

    i took off the second languages in audio and it went to 100%... the proper title is 1 right? does anyone know about the alien subtitles though? if i turn English subtitles on sometimes i can see what the aliens are saying. are there no subtitles when they talk sometimes? thanks again.

    I watched the movie and the subtitles are always working wether for humans or for aliens. 2 types of subtitles, one type is yellow(main), and the other is white, which is second caption option when you go to the movie settings. I always leave ALL(english) captions checked, and ALL(english)audio as well.
