Not sure if this is Newbie or Advanced, but i have tried backing up Seinfeld Season 7 Disc 4 Region 2 (Just out in the UK). My usual combo of DVD Shrink and Any DVD (6.0.8.5) gave me an Invalid DVD Navigation Structure. I have also tried the latest version of Clone DVD2 which tries to fix a structure error and fails. I have also tried ripping with DVD Fab Decrypter - no luck, gets stuck at 99%. The problem seems to be with VTS_09_2.VOB on each occasion I have also tried ripping with DVD Decrypter when it failed with one of the files and when i moved on to trying PgcEdit to create a PSL2 file to help Decrypter, it also failed. I have tried everything i can think of, does anyone have any other bright ideas for me to try?
Update. Apologies, I did not have the latest version of DVD Fab Decrypter. Version 3.0.3.5 did rip discs 3 & 4 of Seinfeld Season 7. Shrink would then handle Disc 3, but for Disc 4 it will not allow compression beyond about 95% so there is still something that needs to be done to the rip before it it shrinkable
You may want to give the latest version of AnyDVD a try. I have been using it with complete success to back up my personal DVDs so I can put the originals away and view from my backups. You can get a 21-day trial to make sure it's for you. Sometimes members of AD will be offered discounts to purchase, too!
there would appear to be a bug in AnyDVD 6.0.8.5 - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/425663/2572993 Also, DVDFab Decrypter is now up to 3.0.4.0
Thanks, Creaky for the heads-up. So far I haven't experienced any problems. I do keep older versions of my updates and flashes in the event of things like this. I guess I've been lucky.
AnyDVD History 6.0.8.8 2006 11 26- New: Added "Aggressive I/O Mode" checkbox. Enable the "highly aggressive I/O mode" only, if you use software which otherwise will not see AnyDVD's magic, like InterVideo DVDCopy, 1-click DVD-Copy or Pinnacle Instant copy. "Aggressive I/O Mode" should not be necessary if you use well designed software. Using "Aggressive I/O Mode" may degrade system stability. "Aggressive I/O Mode" is not available and not required in Windows 9X/ME. - Change: Removed "Safe Mode" checkbox - Change: Improved "Jump directly to Title Menu" function (change in 6.0.8.5) - Fix: Compatibility problems and crashes with some system configurations introduced in 6.0.8.5.
