Usually I have no problems ripping my dvds to dvd-decrypter. But there seems to be a lot of dvds lately that will not allow me to rip it. what am I doing wrong or do I need to do something different? PLEASE HELP ME
Hi bailey18 Rip the DVD's with DVDFab Decrypter (free) - it's a ripper only but will handle the movies Decrypter no longer can. http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm What movies are giving you a problem?
To have them fit on a single layer disc (DVD5) - yes - dvdfab decrypter rips the whole movie only. Another option is to run AnyDVD in the background w/ Shrink to break the copy protection - it also is updated often to handle the newer ones. Not free but has a 21 day free trial (http://slysoft.com)
This is what to do if you are having trouble backing up your movies: Here is the free way of making perfect backups: 1) DVDFab Decrypter - this wil break the movies encryption while ripping the movie to your HDD http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm 2) VobBlanker - Not always needed, but it will get rid of any protection that DVDFD left behind. VobBlanker also allows you to blank,replace,cut and strip titles. http://www.jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm 3) DVDShrink - this will allow you to compress the movie to fit onto a blank DVD-5 disc. Select your output as an ISO image http://filehippo.com/download_dvdshrink/ 4) Imgburn - the best free burner around http://www.imgburn.com/ Here are some guides: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=51904 DVDFab Decrypter guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/334154 DVDFab Decrypter and VobBlanker guide by Alkohol http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/article_vobblanker_page1.html VobBlanker guide http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ Shrink guide The other free option: Use RipIt4Me. I do not know anything about ripit4me so I will leave you with the excellent guide by arnibear. You can also download it from the same link http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110 The other way $$$$$ Anydvd works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie. All you have to do is start up anydvd and continue using your normal compression engine, whether it's shrink, recode or clonedvd, It's that easy. Before you pay for this excellent program you have a 21 day trial http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html What else to do if the above does not work: 1) Update your dvdwriters firmware 2) Invest in good quality media Taiyo Yuden and Verbatims are best 3) Check your dvd's for dirt, scratches 4) clean your dvd If your dvd still does not back up, you most properbly have a badly authord dvd, so your only solution is to exchange it.
