blimpe2, Full backup.. Trimmed it and got 62.5% then deep analysis and AEC smooth.. No out of memory… turned out great..
2OldGeek-Did you have any other ripguard moives to backup. This would be a really cool deal if slysoft has figured away to backup a ripguard movie using shrink and not get any error with low virtual memory. The issue would occur with a full backup using shrink or recode on all ripguard movies. People were having to use vobblanker to blank out the bad information.
invalid dvd navigation structure I am tryin to rip and burn 6 days. 7 nights. First, I tried with dvdfab (anydvd-new version running in the background), and tried to open with dvd shrink and got "dvd shrink encountered an error and cannot contiue. Invalide data in file C;\documents and settings\owner\my documents\dvd\videot_s\vts_01_4.vob. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress. When I then tried it with just plain dvd shrink to analyze and encode I got an error invalid dvd navigation structure. What do these errors mean and how can I fix them? Cheers
@deedums35, [bold] [/bold] There is a way… If you can conceive that this OldGeek is not crazy as a loon and bear with me. Try it, it works….. Use DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink ONLY. Turn off anydvd, dvd43 or antthing else that runs in the background as a decrypter… You must be using NTSF files, FAT or FAT32 will not work because you will be handling a file that’s over 8 GB….. Open Decrypter and go to Mode -> ISO -> select, Read R Browse a folder for the file to be ripped to.. example: Movie_Ripped Click the big button and let it rip… Oh, make sure the movie is in your drive.. He He When Decrypter has ripped the movie, your folder will contain 2 files, one has .ISO extention and the other has .MDS , this one contains the layer break info to make a DL disc. Now open DVDShrink and go to File -> Open Disc Image and browse to the .ISO file. Now you have it in Shrink and you can do a Full movie or re-author a movie only or whatever you wish.. When you’re done and ready to burn you can set Shrink to burn with Nero or make a ISO and burn with DVDDecrypter.. Just make sure to get the shrunk file into a VIDEO_TS folder.. Try this and let me know if it works for you or if you have any questions or problems fire ‘em back..
@2oldgeek I updated anydvd yesterday afternoon and last night retried to burn Six Days, Seven Nights....and it worked. Trust me I don't think anyone who offers help is a loon. I wrote down how to do it if I happen to encounter the problem again, and believe me if I do you're the first one I am gonna run too....Thanks for your advice and help means alot. When the other members mention dvdd are they referring to dvddecrypter? Cheers
@blimpe2, Yes I have tried the latest AnyDVD 5.8.1.1 on a couple of RipGuards and it seems to work OK. I haven’t had any trouble making backups of the ripguard because I backup the Movie Only. Hopefully they have AnyDVD worked out where it will do a Full Movie with the extras without messing up…. Check out my previous post about backing up RipGuard, etc. with DVDD & DVDS only. It works, it’s a little slower than using AnyDVD, BUT IT”S FREE… LOL
deedums35, yes DVDD is DVDDecrypter and Not DVDFabDecrypter.. I just don’t have much faith in DVDFab, myself, but that’s me.. I am an old time programmer and started working with IBM 65’s in 1965.. Damn, has it been that long……….. Since I don’t program anymore I like to un-ravel other programmers’ work and admire what they have done.. Right now Lightning UK the author of DVDDecrypter is my Hero because he had some stuff in that program that is ahead of it’s time.. Like being able to decrypt copy protection that hadn’t even came out when he wrote the proggy. He He I Love it.. Even though I don’t think he meant it to be a code breaker, what I believe is that he meant for it to be able to rip discs that were scratched, degraded or otherwise very hard to copy.. Viva Lightning UK… Long Live DVDDecrypter it’s not up dated anymore, but it’s NOT DEAD!
I agree with you 2OldGeek, DVDdecrypter is a fantastic ripper. I have made sure that I have backed up copies of the .exe so that if it ever disappears from the net I will always have a copy of it if I need it. Cheers.
Yeah ruger, I got so many copies that I could never loose it…….. He He I been busy trying out Decrypter in the ISO mode to read and correct all this new RipGuard, missing/bad sectors, etc. and low and behold IT WORKS… I have Ripped Bros Grimm, Sky High, 40Yr old Virgin, Bewitched and Lords of Dogtown with no problems what-so-ever using DVDD and Shrink and nothing else. I also ripped Wedding Crashers because I saw a long thread where ppl were having problems. No Problem……..
@2oldGeek So basically you ISO read to the video_TS folder, then reauthor in shrink, encode, and write ISO in decrypter?
Basically, just rip using DVDDecrypter in the ISO read mode to a folder then open the .ISO file with Shrink using the File -> Open Disc Image method, not Open Disk or Open File. Then just handle like you normally do when using Shrink and either burn with decrypter or Nero whatever your preference be…..
question: oldgeek, I followed your directions. i'm trying to rip Serenity, a DL disc. I put the ISO files into their own folder. When I open the image using Shrink I see the movie. My question is what happens to the second file, the MDS file??? won't i need this file for the movie to play correctly? i plan on ripping the entire movie onto a DL disc.
Raggedy1, The .MDS file contains the layer break information and is what Decrypter uses to write the DL Disc.You won’t need Shrink for a DL. Just open Decrypter go to Mode -> ISO and select Write W. Then in Source browse the .MDS file, in Destination select the drive that contains the blank disc, set the burn speed in the bottom right box under settings and burn away..
i'm burning it now. DVDD actually forced me to write the mds file. so when it's done I don't know what to do - unless DVDD gives me instructions like it did when it forced me to write the mds file!
@ SlaTheR, The only time that would run into a problem is when backing up a double layer disc.. Because that is the info file that tells DVDDecrypter where to put the layer break…. If your Shrinking the file to fit a DVD-5 then you don’t need it and it’s OK to delete…..
@Raggedy Choose the MDS to burn from first, just forget about the ISO file. When DVDD is finished you'll have yourself a 1:1 copy.
@raggedy1, Are you burning a DL disc? If so DVDD doesn’t burn the MDS file, it just uses it to burn the ISO file in all the right places…
2oldgeek said it better. If you notice the MDS file is not the movie, it can't be its only 5Kb, it is just a set of instructions that tells DVDD how to burn the movie.
