Invalid DVD Navigation Structure?

Exactly what I thought, when I put Hulk in I get the line that it had to remove VOBU's. The newest version of AnyDVD seems to be PUTTING copy protection onto Universal discs we are trying to burn. It must be some improper coding seeing as how 5.6 series had no problems with them.

 

let's hope Slysoft is aware of this apparent error and fixes it.

 

@GRothlein

You should edit out your email address, it's against forum rules to post it. Just a friendly note. It will keep you from getting tons of spam.

 

Everyone having this problem, must send ifo files to slysoft support staff. Here is a the link that gives you instructions. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.p...27&postcount=29

 

I had sent a support ticket to them and they replied within a day or so and told me to try copying to hard drive and going from there. No real answer as to what was wrong.

So I grabbed up a few more DVD's and looked for more of the same error, that is when I came to the conclusion that it was a problem with Universal Studios DVD's.

I just sent all the information we came up with to them via another ticket and hopefully they will be able to use my theory to speed up the next upgrade and fix the problem.

ThiA recent change which helps elby CloneDVD to work better seems to annoy Shrink & Recode. We will work out a solution so Shrink / Recode will continue to work.
Until we release an updated version there is a simple workaround: You can disable the option to remove "Copy protection based on unreadable sectors". Then you can copy the disc with Shrink/Recode and AnyDVD enabled.

 

Hilarious movie! I got it with AnyDVD and DVDShrink.

I had this idea myself a while ago, but we will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary. The goal is, that AnyDVD runs perfectly with everything with default settings. AnyDVD is designed to be "installed and forgotten" (but must be regulary updated, hence the automatic update check).
It is designed to be always enabled and it should always run as soon as your computer starts.
I have made a beta version which should work fine with DVDShrink and Recode, while keeping the added value for elby CloneDVD2:

Warning, this is beta software. I haven't tested it much (we will do this the next days), but I believe it will not do any harm. Everybody is invited to try it out (not only Shrink & Recode users).

Here is the changelog:

5.8.1.1, 2006 01 07

- New: Improved the function to remove unreferenced VOBUs. This fixes
problems (Error message "invalid navigation structure") with DVDShrink
and Nero Recode with some titles.
- Fix: Alpha DVD copyprotection detection. Some titles (e.g., "The Fifth
Element - Remastered Deluxe Edition" R2, German) were incorrectly
identified as protected with the "Settec AlphaDVD" copy protection.
- Updated languages

SlySoft is bending over backwards to satisfy everyone...

 

That is their claim to fame. I can't believe my theory has spread to other forums now too, Awesome.

 

I will download the beta--after it is proven OK.

Till then a rollback to ver. 5.6.3.1 works just fine. No more navigation errors and it works with shrink just fine.

 

SLaTheR is correct, roll back and it works.

 

Just downloaded the latest ver of AnyDVD -> 5.8.1.1

Haven't tried it yet but here's hoping.....

 

@2oldGeek

Keep us posted of any probs with the beta version. To date I have not had any issues with anything that I have backed up with the previous version.

Cheers.

 

Yeah ruger, I’ll let you know. I plan on doing some discs tonight and I’ll find out.

I am planning on doing some more research on a little project I got going also and if it works out like it looks right now, I’ll be asking you and others to see what you think of it.. Anyway, I let you know….

 

Just ripped and shrunk Bros Grimm with Shrink and the new AnyDVD 5.8.1.1

AnyDVD showed this:

Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite)

RCE protection not found.

Looks like it’s doing it’s thing!

 

Good news, I just got slysofts notification that the finalized version was ready for download, and installed it myself.

I won't be doing another backup till tomorrow though. Unless I decide differently...heh, heh, heh,...there is no ice so I can't go fishing today...hmmmmm....video store....LOL

 

2OldGeek-Your backup of brothersgrimm was it a full backup or movie only? I was interested to see if shrink is still getting the out of memory errors on ripguard moives doing the full backup.
