I bought I [heart] Huckabees today and am trying to make a copy of it. It's a flipper - Side 1 is widescreen, Side 2 pan & scan. I want to copy Side 1. I have tried copying with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink on three different drives with both programs, and EVERYTIME I get a read error when it's 88% done. Any ideas? Thanks.
First of all, check the source DVD to see if there is a problem. The freeware DVDInfoPro or another media test program should tell you if you have any errors around the area you're stopping on. Another possibility is memory. How much free space is left on the hard drive?
Just tried side two and it copied fine. I just downloaded DVDInfoPro. I'm running the CRC read errors test. Is this the test I should be running? Thanks.
The icon with the magnifying glass activates the test. The errors should show up on the graph corresponding to the area where the rip halted. It's looking like the side you want is faulty. A disc that won't record will still sometimes play on a standalone player. That confuses some people. It just boils down to standalone players being more forgiving of errors.
DVDInfoPro gave read errors at 88%. And, I just tried to play the movie and at 1:33:37, which is exactly 88% of the way through the movie, it froze. Looks like the disc is junk. Thanks.
you can try using decrypter on brute force/ignore read errors have you tried cutting the damaged scenes out? not sure how or if it will work but dvd shrink has a option in reauthor mode reauthor/right click/start-end frames
Hursty One can delete the section, but who wants a movie with a part missing? Also, if the file is necessary to play the DVD, it may not work.
you would be suprised! someone asked the same question a few weeks ago they wanted the option of removing scenes which contained heavy violence,so there kids could watch it. i am sure it would work with files missing surely you would create start/end point-cut out the damaged part,the start/end again i know people want the whole movie,but it is just an option. hehehe with kind regards hursty
And some people won't watch "Ole Yeller" or the Yearling. LOL I was referring to skipping sectors not editing a movie.
have you ever used shrink to stop/start? i was just wondering if it worked in the way i think it does.i.e do you know if can remove selected corrupt frames? regards hursty
it does.i just tried it it moves in increments of 6 secs(15 frames) you can drop and drag as many times as you like
Shrink is one of the better editing transcoders available. I still use it for it's utilities even if I don't transcode with it.
i have always chucked the towel in when it comes to corrupt dvd,next time i will try stop/start with shrink dont mind missing a few secs if it allows me copy a dvd
I don't know why people are having the problems using the same software I am and recording the same movies. I've been using AnyDVD and Decrypter for ripping my files to the HD and DVDCopy3 and RB/CCE for transcoding and encoding. For burning, I use Nero and CopyToDVD. Occasionally I'll use DVD Shrink to keep in practice. With those apps, I haven't had to do any editing to get movies to record and I've done some of the more troublesome movies that have come out recently.
