RipIt4Me..Quick Reference Guide

excellent guide, arniebear, and also excellent troubleshooting. this is the 1st time i've used ripit4me but was able to use it and the FixVTS program after reading this forum. then through ripit4me (and with DVD decrypter) i used FixVTS and then DVD Shrink to compress and save the title into the normal video_TS folder with the concurrent creation of an empty audio_TS folder, then used RecordNow to burn both folders... and i get a black screen that cannot play on my standalone DVD player (a PS2). and when i pop the backup dvd into my computer it starts playing immediately without any problems. i tried running the original compressed file through DVD Shrink again (desperate unguided attempt, yes) and got the same result.

now, i've ripped and burned using DVD Shrink, DVD decrypter, and RecordNow to backup dozens of movies, used this current media for the last 50 backups, and played them all on my PS2 without this ever happening. is there something i'm doing wrong with ripit4me that's resulting in my standalone's inability to read the disc while the computer obviously reads the VTS files? or is it simply a burning error (maybe my burn program switched the order of the video and audio_TS folders although that's never happened before)? any suggestions? thanks in advance...

 

I ried what you told me . I figure the path to the fixVTS but when the decrypter finished. a error was created then it shut down asking me to send a report to microsoft. How do I send you the logs to this problem? It happen twice. I found a bunch of files at application/ripit4me/ on my pc. any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Right now I think you need to start from scratch. Locate your RipIt4Me program file, which will be in C:/Documents and Setting/whatever your document folder is named/Application Data/RipIt4Me........delete the RipIt4Me folder. Then delete both FixVTS and RipIt4Me that you downloaded and redownload them. Extract the RipIt4Me program into a folder, then double click on it to install. Then extract the FixVTS program into the same folder and double click on it to make sure it is working. Close it. Open the RipIt4Me program, make sure the path is correct to your FixVTS and then try it again.

 

sounds like a good plan. where do you download these programs? I am sorry but I forgot. thanks for the help

 

Go to page one of this guide and the links are on the first post.

 

thanks. I have deleted everything already

 

i have downloaded the two programs in a single file. will open them tomorrow when I have time. Thanks 4 the help

 

Good luck, I hope this works out

 

any suggestions on my problem? here's the log...

Wow! It took me a good hour to figure out what to do but it worked. Thank you so much for the input. I used the RipIt4Me first and followed the instruction ending with dvd shrink. My head hurts from trying to understand but sometimes you just need to go with the flow!

Much Thanks

 

I had only use DVD decrypter and DVD Shrink in the past...it worked fine for a time, until DVD's started having more protection. Your guide is perfect and it gives me exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for writing this guide. I had no problem following the instructions.

 

kg2, do you have RipIt4Me configured correctly?
Your settings should look something like this:

thanks thats a great guide

 

umm i am having a problem, call me stupid but how do you put the files ont he blank disc?

it woudl save alot reading time if you coudl anser that dierctly.

everythign works, but i dont know hwo to actualy PUT them on the disc.

 

Did you run your file through Shrink and compress it, if so what file format did you end up with. If you have an iso file format then burn it with DVD Decrypter/ImgBurn/Nero, if you output as VOB files then you will need to burn with Nero. Usually if you are using Shrink it will ask you on your backup screen what format you want to use.

 

thanx again bro for the easy info with pictures lol....i use anydvd but in alot of cases this comes in handy like inside man was a bitch but i followed ur method which seems to work pretty easy....just wanted to drop u a line to say thanx bro later

 

Thanks much, I am glad that the guide helped you out and it worked for you. Need to do a few updates now that the program has added some new bell/whistles, but it is an excellent alternative to AnyDVD, and free

 

Thanks Arnie, great guide and well written.
