dialysis1 - Yes, I see it now. I took it from the computer to the family room and just skimmed through all the menu's and chapters. Just tried to look at it on the computer and it won't play with WMP - so back to work I guess. Dang - thought I had it. Thanks
You can re-author it and get the main movie. Just remove the first 6 minutes. I haven't tried it yet but perhaps running it through VobBlanker again and cutting out those 6 minutes will preserve the whole movie. As soon as the project that I'm working on is done, I will try it unless you or someone else cares to give it a shot. The rip that DVDFab produces works fine without doing anything to the files. It just doesn't look right when opened in Shrink. You can keep it that way if you choose.
Friends, our friends at slysoft have come through again !!! Version history: 6.4.7.0 2008 09 23 - New (DVD): Added support for new protections, e.g.: "Leatherheads", US - Some minor fixes and improvements http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupAnyDVD6470.exe Nothing from Ting at dvdfab yet
Ok...i couldn't call in sick like Dialysis suggested. Hehe. What hasn't worked so far: DvdFab 5.0.9.5 full disc Anydvd, current version (pre update, thanks Bones) DvdFab 4.1.2.0 full disc. Right now, i'm ripping with DvdFab 4.1.2.0 main movie only. I'll post back a little later. I'm probably going to try VobBlanker next.
The movie's ok. For me it's not worth a DL disc. I have my movie only backup. That's enough. If for some reason I'm in the mood to see the extras again, I'll just pop in the original.
After ripping with DvdFab 4.1.2.0 FixVts gave an error. Still playing with it. EDIT: Trying to rip with DvdFab 5.0.9. main movie only, the task time left keeps going up. We got our challenge Dialysis!
I agree with bones, I don't want anything any harder. I am already dreading Iron Man next week. Anyway I ripped full disk with DVD Fab 5.0.9.5 and then processed with VobBlanker. I removed everything but the menu and main movie (like to keep the ability of scene selection) checked it at this point with Media Player Classic and was thrown for a loop when the credits appeared first. Then I went back and read through the thread and seen where that had happened elsewhere and how to fix it, so I am off to play some more. Yippeee!!!
Maybe next week! I ripped Main Movie (DvdFab Platinum 5.0.9.5.), removing all alternate languages, and alternate subtitles. And let DvdFab Platinum transcode and VSO burn. So far, the backup seems to play just fine, starting at the beginning and playing ok so far. I didn't use VobBlanker or FixVts. Also, on a whim i tried running Anydvd in the background while ripping with DvdFab Platinum 5.0.9.5...nothing. It crashed.
I did the full disc using DVDFAB HD 5.0.9.5, VOBBlanker 2.0.3.1, and DVDShrink. Removed Non-English languages.
I got the movie only in perfect condition using DVD Clone 2 and then DVD Shrink and burned it with Decrypter.
I'm still trying to get this one backed-up. I've fully read this thread and tried the things listed here, no joy thus far. And Bones, you can give the tough ones to Dialysis1, 7thsinger, and Iluvendo.
