I recently tried to back up my copy of X-Men One using SmartRipper & DVD2ONE, I ended up with more than one large file using file & the same using backup. The largest file worked o.k. but the end of the movie was missing, I presume it was in one of the other large files. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem ?
Thanks for your comments about my X-men backup. A friend of mine has had the same problem with his X-men DVD, maybe it is because we have region 2 DVD's ? & the file lay out is different ? I have XP, do the ASPI drivers come with it or do I have to install them ?
XP doesnt come with its own set of aspi drivers, but you can get them here: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/drivers_by_product.html?cat=/Product/ASPI-4.70
It wont matter if its region 1 or 2, should still work fine. When you rip a movie you can make it region free in the process.
do i have to use smartripper or DVD DECRYPTER before compress it by dvd shirk or dvd2one, cause i use dvd shrink it and it stll not region free.
Yes, you need to use a ripping tool which will take out the region code as well as the encryption code.
As far as I know DVD2One or DVD Shrink won't make any movie region free. That is part of the ripping process (dvddecrypter or smartripper) same with macrovision and css protection.
