Leather Heads giving me a head ache

@7thsinger, pardon me for saying, but did'nt you say "I need a challenge ?"

 

Region 1

 

Hehe...busted.

 

Well, back to report on the final success of the complete DVD. I ran my original DVD Fab HD hard drive back-up VOB's through FixVTS and that got rid of the closing credits at the beginning and end without re-authoring. I ran the FixVTS/ backup folder with DVD Shrink (very strange backup options) and got the whole movie with extra features, full menu and sound! Anyway, since there have really been no challenges for a month or so - this was fun.

 

Strange , as most of us are in region 1, you had minimal probs, and we had challenging hurdles to over come...... makes me wonder if in region 1 we have 2 versions, 1 with relatively light encryption, and 2 the big guns pulled out ?

 

Exactly. Thanks to bones for pointing that out. So far, all I can get is Main Movie via DvdFab 5.0.9.5 and using VobBlanker afterwards.

 

Tough call my friend. There's not a special edition to contend with. Where would the 2nd version come from. I'm having serious issues with it, and have sent the failures to Fengtao. Hope something comes through soon.

 

sKrEwZ, most of the newer encryptions have fallen to Anydvd and dvdfab in relatively short time (as for example today slysoft had a new update specifically for this) so my conspiracy mind thinks if you can't beat 'em, confuse em.Macrovision and the like must monitor boards like these, and see what we are up to. So if you add confusion to the back up game at a low cost of 2 versions (manufactured at the plant on more than 1 line), then boards like this one become confusing (remember Creaky had no trouble backing his, after all he is in region 2). So why not 2 encryption versions in a big market as region 1 ? Makes sense to me

 

Or programmers are working double duty if you catch my drift. Write a tougher encyrption while on the clock and crack it when you're not. Or I could be way off.

 

double spys do exist

 

The first true "success" story of the night ! Congrats Binkie !

 

Still having problems processing it the way I want. Got the full disk ripped, no problem w/ DVD Fab, so I am good there. Still trying to use VOBBlanker to narrow it down to movie and menu only, thought that I had it but when it got to the end the credits were gone and the opening scene of the movie replayed causing Media Player to lock. I guess it will have to wait till tomorrow. At least I had partial success and am fairly confident movie only would not be an issue, but I don't want to give up just yet.

BTW- Good job Binkie

 

I guess the OP has left the building !

 

yeah both Sex In The City and Leatherheads need DVD Rebuilder if you aren't going with a DVD+R DL blank

 

I am super frustrated with this one. I have tried I believe every way that has been posted still with no deal. This is what I have someone please lead me in the right way. Surely one of these will work.
AnyDVD 6.4.7.0
Ripit for me
DVD Shrink
DVD Devrypter
DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.0.5.0
DVDFab HD Decrypter 5.0.9.0
CloneDVD 2.9.1.7
VobBlanker

 

if clonedvd + anydvd aren't working then you have a hardware problem (some optical drives will not transcode heavy protected movies) try another drive. or it could be confliting software if you have a box system Dell,HP etc. also make sure the DVD is clean and scratch free even a fingerprint can cause transcoding problems

 

Ok after updating CloneDVD to the latest version, I have now gotten further than I have all night. Wish me luck it continues. Thanks ZoSoIV for your help.

 

What worked for me for those with DVD Rebuilder, with a small caveat:

-- Rip full disc with DVDFab 5.0.8.0
-- (Shrink can't deal with it, as we know)
-- Loaded DVD Rebuilder and chose Movie Only mode
-- Everything fine except one little thing. The burned movie starts playing and immediately jumps to the 8-minute mark. Go figure. Had to manually step back with my player's remote till about the 5 second mark since going all the way back to the beginning made it jump to 8 minutes again. Played flawlessly from a few seconds after the beginning till the end.
