My 2-disk version I bought just arrived a few hours ago. I just now was able to start on the disks. I have the 2-disk unrated version. Dvdfab has had no problems with this one, and fixvts ran thru it with ease. Finished the process with dvd shrink and imgburn...no problems. Looks like an easy one. I also have Space Chimps and Fred Claus, but will no be able to get to them till I get back home from work. Space Chimps, Fred Claus, and Meet Dave were all easily done. These were just barely larger that a dvd5 disk. Edit: Added information.
Excellent. Looking forward to getting my copies next week. Glad to hear that there are no problems at least with Hancock. Thanks for the info bro
Probably going to nail this one down tonight. Didn't expect anything heavy on it. Will post back later.
The 2-disk was easy. Now, we just have to wait till someone gets the 1-disk version (rated & unrated) and see how those are. The 2nd disk was just more special features. Edit: Spelling.
the movie comes out tues here so i'm sure anydvd and clonedvd will have no problem backing this one up
Though I didn't have serious problem backing this title up to a 8.5 DL disc. Hmmmm, can someone tell me why my back disc still has the encryption intact? DVD plays fine...just curious. SONY DVD RW DRU-840A SS01 JUL12 ,2007 Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite) Size of first Layer: 1663056 sectors (3248 MBytes) Total size: 3326096 sectors (6496 MBytes) Video DVD (or CD) label: Hancock (UNRATED) Media is not CSS protected. Video Standard: NTSC Media is region free. RCE protection not found. Found & removed structural copy protection! Found & removed invalid cell pieces! Found & removed bogus title set(s)! Changed firstplay: Jump directly to TitleMenu! UDF filesystem patched! Autorun not found on Video DVD. Bad sector protection not found. Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1!
Got this one done last night. Normal process worked fine. DvdFab Platinum > FixVts > DvdRB > Imgburn. Mine was the single disc edition.
I just did the the 1 disc theatrical version with AnyDVD Rip movie only and NeroRecode to scan and burn 100% no compression. If anyone is interested I posted the anydvd scans of original and my backup disc. Total time 20 min rip to finished disc! The scans are in the dark knight thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/720939#4385919
Ah Ha...I see...movie only....different end result...I have to have my menus minus the warnings and the industry PSA's.
This one was simple. The following all worked. 1) AnyDVD 6.4.8.5 + DVDShrink 3.2 shows 57.9% compression. 2) AnyDVD 6.4.8.5 + CloneDVD 2.9.2.0 show 55% compression. 3) DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 DVD-9 > DVD Shrink 3.2 shows 57.9% compression. 4) DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 DVD-9 > FixVTS > DVDShrink 3.2 shows 57.9% compression. 5) DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 DVD-5 shows 61% compression How if you use DVDFab Platinum to compress it shows better compression % then if you use CloneDVD or DVDShrink with any of the other methods even after having used DVDFab Platinum to rip the full disc as DVD-9?
Sorry for the double post. But I saw that for some reason when doing it with DVDPlatinum 5.1.1.0 using the DVD5 settings the output is 4.19GB while the output of the other methods I mentioned are the usual 4.35GB How come this is happening and it showing that DVDPlatinum 5.1.1.0 with the DVD5 settings is showing a higher compression % then if I use any of the other methods I showed in my previous post.
Congrats to all of you experts! After burning a few coasters, I finally got my Hancock - the 1 Hr 36 minute version backed up by ripping with AnyDVD, and Burning with Nero 8 Recode on a Vista platform - The copy is strange - hard to get the right combination on my DVD player to get is going, but after I watched it I brought the menu up and watched the special features and even, for once the coming attractions. I have been at this for over 5 years and this one was, for me, not that easy. Fred Claus was easy but it is tricky.
hey guys! I have had poor luck with this one...also I cannot use anydvd because trial has expierd. Does anyone have a spare minute to help me out with this??? Thanx again
Have you tried DVDFab HD Decrypter (the freebie one) - http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm and read thru this post above - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/721718/4386136 ie substitute DVDFab Platinum with the freebie one ?
Piece of cake! Anydvd ripper, dvdshrink, imgburn. Something odd about the bonus disc though. Heres some screen shots. Anydvd states one size where dvd shrink states another. LOL... never mind. just checked it again exploring the folder and discovered digital copy. Dvd shrink doesnt acknowledge those kinda files OF COURSE, lol. Now we'll see how "Dark Knight" goes!
I read that people are having trouble with Dark Knight right now. It has some new kinda protection I think. I wish I had a way to get dvd releases in advance like some people.
