no. i backed up king kong, sin city etc. all came out fine. The last time I had this much trauma was when I tried to back up SKY HIGH without CLONE2.
No I don't think thats it, theres too many other people having the same problem. Besides I only used anydvd with DVDfab, then I used shrink. So its not that. Either I am vastly missing somrthing or sony put some new thing on this dvd.
I think AnyDVD is the key. The entire movie with the exception of the last two scenes was missing using DVDecrypter 3541 with AnyDVD 5721. DVDdecryptor 3541 with AnyDVD 5941 in the background copied all the files onto the hard drive. Then DVD shrink 3175 had no problem.
Again, as usual, "DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker" can get the job done flawlessly. I could simply put another "mini guide" of mine for "Memoirs of a Geisha & Chicken Little", but I don't have all of the free times (as much as I used to). However, for those that has been using DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker, you should at least figured it out by now. On the other hand, I strongly deemed that with DVDFAB Decrypter (the latest) alone can easily rip the baby as well. Best of lucks to all and happy burning!
alkohol: When you say DVD Fab Decrypter handled it, are you talking about the Express (free) version or the full paid version? I ripped the files with Express, and when I now try to open it in Shrink I get this message: I've then run it through VOB Blanker but got similar results. I can try to rip it again once I'm back at home and have access to the original disc, but at the moment I'm travelling and have it only on my laptop. The error Shrink is giving me seems fundamentally different from the "can't compress" error others are getting. If someone's had success with VOB Blanker on it, can they post what titles and cells they blanked out? Thanks!
I am glad that I haven't had this problem. All i did was have (1) AnyDVD running in the background as I normally do and opened (2)DVD Shrink 3.2. I then (3)loaded the disc in my dvd drive. (4)Waited for it to be recognized and (5)then clicked D:drive which had Geisha in it. (6)A menu of files open up and I double clicked just the movie (no menu, options, features etc JUST THE MOVIE). (7)The movie cycled through the preview screen and everything came out OK. (8)The ISO file was created and then (9)I used DVD Decrypter "Mode-Write To Disc". VIOLA!
I used new dvd fab download last night with anydvd running in background. I even have an old version of anydvd. The new fab download did the trick. I even backed up the menu's.
i was having problems with this title in dvdfab express, when i used the program to rip it to the harddrive the file was only 990 mb so i downloaded region + css free and had that running in the background and had no problem with dvd shrink ripping it.
Memoirs of a geisha I hav the latest CloneDVD2 & Anydvd, and when loading it freezes/Locks up also got somethi saying check and check for virus, Hummmmm....I have nero 7,DVDFab Decrypter,DVD Shrink 3.2,DVDFab Platinum (Express Mode) and tried a few things BUT i don't know nothing,it can Be burned on just one disk right a 4.7 or what ? whats the easiest way to copy this program,Please in SIMPLE laymen terms... can someone walk me threw it thanks...PeaceOut
like i said in my previous post just all i did was download region + css free and it runs in the background and then used dvd shrink and had no problem ripping it to the harddrive. then use your burning program to burn it
I have not had any problems backing up Geisha, Chicken Little, Capote or anything with the latest protection. Clone DVD2 with Any DVD is the simple solution!
@cujo007, A well tuned and dedicated PC is also a plus ie, A masive Hardrive 120 gig or better, just in case you are using your PC for many other application (Not at once though) Lot's of memory 1GIG or better. Oh, premium media again i.e. Verbatim, Sony etc.
I too have burned Giesha with anydvd and clonedvd2. Just make sure you have all of the updates and you should be good to go.
DVDFabDecrypter version 2.9.6.8 did NOT work. When going thru Shrink, I found out that only a portion of the movie got ripped onto the HD,so I unistalled DVDFab and installed version 2.9.7.2 instead (someone earlier mentioned that 2.9.7.3 does not work with this movie). Works like a charm now (2.9.7.2). I'm only backing up the movie (compression is 72.8%)without any extras with Shrink and burning with DVD Decrypter. As Alkohol has mentioned in other threads, AnyDVD and DVD43 MUST BE TURNED OFF. Good luck.
I think its funny when you gusy try so hard with this program and it dosnt work, when i used 2 programs with out all your steps or anything else, and i have never had problems with these programs.. Anydvd + Clone worked all the way, if you have problems with anydvd virus thing reinstall or get a new dl, turn off automatic updates.. AnyDvd ver.5.9.4.1 Clonedvd ver.2.8.9.2 this is the only 2 programs i use now to burn a backup of my movies now...
