Easiest Way to Back Up "Hostel"

Things you need 1.fab decrypter 2.9.7.6
2. dvd shrink
rip movie with fab decypter to your hard drive then encode with shrink. (there is no need to run your vobs through vobblanker, pgcedit, or fixvts, because fab removes the "bad sector protection" completely, dont waste your time thanx have fun backing up

 

Hell, I just use DvdShrink and AnyDVD...then burn with Nero. No problems at all.

cheezzzz

 

Just use clonedvd & anydvd..thats the easiest way.

 

The first method is a free!!

 

And what happens if you wanna blank the endless amounts of FBI warnings/commentary screens and the abundance of unnecessary trailers that Sony packs into DVDs?

I ran it through VOBB and removed all the aforementioned stuff and I was given a great compression ratio when it came to Shrink.

 

I was wondering if there is a new variant of ARccOS on this one. I got an error with DVD Decrypter when it was parsing the files. An L-EC error in VTS_15. This was before the rip though so it could have been a corrupted/missing/damaged IFO File.

Either way, I found nothing special on this DVD. I really made some changes on this movie because the navigation sucked!!! I think Sony is purposely trying to break our DVD players with such inefficient DVDs... I will post a fix in this thread later on to correct the navigation problems, but you will lose all Extra features, previews, Wanings, etc... Basically just main movie with a fully functioning main menu.

 

Nero Recode2 with AnyDVD running in the background (as always) did the trick for me ...

 

Every Tuesdays people go out and spend $15-$25 for each of their new originals and yet won't spend that just once for Anydvd (which also works on music cd's). Instead they'll spend hours running the movies through a half dozen different programs. I've yet to understand this. To each their own, I guess.

 

I Hear You ! but to each his or her own I guess ? that's why baskins & robbins has 31 flavors ! anyway Good Luck & happy Burning ! ( homer simpson Voice ) " oooH ! Icecream Doh !

 

I just updated the fix. I forgot to delete 2 cell commands in PGC 6 of the VTSM. While this does not affect playback, it is more correct!!

Sorry for the Delay. I did some testing to make sure that everything works ok, but you should still test playbeck before making a final burn to be safe.

Here is the Link to the fix for the FULL-SCREEN version:

And here is a copy of the changes:

I forgot to fix the time display. All this will do is rather than the time display being at 00:00:00 or whatever when the movie starts, it will be 00:01:24 or something like that. It would have only been a cosmetic fix.

Also, I forgot to mention that I removed the Layer break.

I find useing anydvd boring, I want to go in hands on a kick sonys ass the hard way. You probably get your oil change at the local midus. I get a happy feeling when I smashing on ripgaurd and arccos finding new ways to bet there protections new programs to use. to me its fun jmo

 

@FatalAD Help me understand this a little better. You're saying want to go in and crack this and hack that and yet your thread title is "Easiest Way to Back Up "Hostel". ?????


Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to bust your nuts. It's just that every week someone posts " the easiest way...." and then they state how they ran this program and then that. None of that sounds easy compared to shrink/clone w/anydvd.

 

Amen!

 

just for the heck of it,i used platinum-rf 40415 and anydvd 5.9.5.6 to do "Hostel" in a heart beat.

directions
insert disk,
rip
insert blank
click burn
done

 

Edit: So this post isn't wasted, here is a fix for Mamoirs of a Geisha Full-screen:

Also, the previous fix was for the full-screen version of Hostel.

 

Just a thought. I too use anydvd. Great program, no muss no fuss. Some of the people here may be too young to own a credit card. I may be wrong but isn't this the only method of purchasing it? Just a thought.

 

The kids that are too young to have a credit card surely have parents with credit cards ...

 

It should be no problem making a back up for this one. If you have the latest versions of cloneDVD and anyDVD, it should work. If not then just the latest version of DVDfab decrypter, and burn with Nero. No need to use vobblanker, pgcedit, or fixvts. Just like FatalAD said in his previous post, fab removes the bad sector protection.

Also just wanted to add, for the value AnyDVD is well worth the price. Me personally, I'd rather use a program that I know works and is constantly updated, instead of jumping from one program to another just to see if it works or not.

 

If he's too young for a credit card then he's DEFIANTLY too young for Hostel 8)

 

I mean't overall, not just Hostel. Heck, I don't even care to see it and I like spooky stuff.
