hi - i got this movie called - Brazillian Brawls - its action martial arts - its not any new movie or big hit - but i cant get any of my programs to rip it ? dvdshrink dosnt do it at all - decrypter stops also and cant finish it - i tried dvdfab thinking it would do it -- but it was over 4 hours and it was still had two more video files to go ? -- is something wrong ? i know dvdfab takes more time but 4 hours for 3 files and had 2 more - i canceled it -- didnt have time to wait i will start it again tomorrow morning and leave it all day - see what happens -- is there anything else i could try - i have dvd region free and css free running --
Download the trial version of Anydvd. Its good for 21 days. Anydvd runs in the background and removes the encryption so you can use it with any other program. Let it run behind DVDShrink and try again. Shutdown all other ripping and decrypting software. You can sometimes overkill the situation. If you still have excessive times, go into your device manager and check both IDE controllers. They need to be set to DMA mode not PIO. If in PIO, try to change them. If they won't change, remove both controllers from the list, reboot and Windows will reinstall them properly in DMA mode. Jerry
thanks -- i dont think its anything with my drivers etc. -- i just used it before and worked great - just this movie -- its the first time it happened - but i did have dvd region and css free running when i was ripping it - i will try it again with out it running this time with dvdf ab again - also - whats the difference between anydvd and dvd region and css free ? mines seems to work great - i let you know if it works without dvd region free running in the background - it could be thats causing it take a long time to rip - i didn think of that before - its usually running since everytime i use a problem it starts on its own and i forget to close it afterwards -if you have any other ideas or programs i could try in case dvdfab dosnt work - let me know thanks and i let you know if it works - i try it tomorrow -- too late now - could take hours
Anydvd is the best decrypter on the market. Its updated faster for new encryptions sometimes before the encryption comes out. It works great with just about any other program because it runs in the background and doesn't tie up excessive resources. If your IDE controllers are in PIO mode they will still work but take excessive time to do anything. Jerry
i hear about that being the best - maybe i try it if dvdfab dosnt do it tomorrow - i would have to remove dvd region and css free first ? that would be the best idea i think - i keep you posted on this one just very odd - i didnt think a no name movie would be so hard to rip thanks for the help
hi - well i am convinced -- dvdfab cant rip this movie -- brazillin brawl - its been running for 12 hours - i know its crazy i want to know what the end result would be - but its at the same spot for so long - i have no idea whats left to do but there must be some new protection out there and so far its working good - the protection i mean - if anyone knows of anything else i can try - i havnt tried anydvd yet i will install it and see if it works but i really dont think it will any ideas ? thanks
dvdfab didnt rip my dvd ? i found a new ripper - called claddvd - that ripped it in 15 mins. no problem - its fast and works - i cant believe dvdfab didnt do it - decrypter didnt do it - shrink didnt work - nothing worked but claddvd -- so i finally got the movie ripped and its really a stupid movie anyway - the cover looked good with action anyway at least i found a new ripper that really rips there must be some new protection besides the sony going around
DVD Shrink hasn't been updated for over a year now and Decrypter will also go the same route. If you have time I would like to see if Anydvd can work on that movie just for reference. They just updated it again today for another encryption to version 5411. Its not too important but would be nice to know. Haven't heard of the other decrypter you used. Good luck. Jerry
thanks -- but listen to this -- i got it on my hard drive with that new ripper i found - dvdclad - and i used shrink to get just the movie and its good -i havnt burned it yet to disk - but now i have another problem i have the movie -- never been kissed -- and nothing workes with that either - but its not a new movie ? its looks scratched so i figured thats the problem - but i tried it with the new ripper - and it worked i ripped it my hard drive - but then i went to use shrink to open the file and it couldnt open it ? very strange - i then tried to use clonedvd 2 and when i went to process it to my hard drive again - its protected with -- APS ? i never heard of it - i had dvd region and css free running so we now know it dosnt cover APS protection - what ever that is - what do i do now ? this is getting strange - i am starting to think - since i just joined a different BB in my area - the one i used to rent from closed - i am wondering if they are adding extra protectioni to all there inventory ? Could that be ? any help would be great - thanks
expresso; I find it hard to believe that an individual video rental store could just add there own encryption.
yeah i know - i find it hard also - i just cant explain the issues i am having with this new location with the first 2 dvds i tried to copy ? if you can explain that one -- would be helpful to me - since they are both old movies - nothing new and no big name etc. - i just got another protection issue -- APS ? does anyone know what that is and what tools to use to remove it - i used dvdclad and ripped it to my hard drive - shrink cant do anything with it - decrypter dosnt work with it either i went to used clonedvd 2 and it says its protected with APS and to search for removal too ? its very strange - 2 movies - both problems from a new place - if you have any ideas or know about this APS protection and how to remove it - please let me know - thanks
Haven't heard APS for a while. Analog Protection System (actually Macrovision). Anydvd should get rid of that with no proplem. Its actually an old name for macrovision if I'm not mistaken. The other subject of rental stores adding protection is impossible. Original/purchased dvd movies are not burned as we do backups. They are pressed from a master disc similar to the old audio records. No way to burn to them. Jerry
thanks - i finally got that movie ripped - i used clad dvd - and it worked with no problems - i was suprised that dvd fab wasnt able to -- i just installed anydvd - and it turned out the movie was i trying to get was such a stupid movie - i never did burn it to disk and deleted it - it was just driving me crazy to figure it out - the aps movie - well the werid thing is - i got it on my harddrive now with clad dvd - but for some reason - shrink cant open it - and clone dvd says something is wrong and cant process it either - the first time i ripped it - it gave me the aps protection after i put it on my harddrive -- i though once you ripped the movie to your computer - it cant be protected anymore - so i ripped it again and then it gave me a different error - i think clad dvd was having some trouble - the disk was scratched and it didnt arrange it in order i guess - i havnt a clue with that - but since i had the video files on my computer - i decided to join them with nero express and make one video file - and then i used shrink and it worked - well i though - i realized there was no sound after about half the movie - so i checked the files i have on my computer and they have sound ? so during the process of joining them - i lost sound - i try it again to double check -- any ideas ? in over 2 years - i never had a dvd with these problems before - thanks
