THE FOG....(for those that need help.. here's a flawless method by Alkohol)

I just want to say THANK YOU ALKOHOL. That was the best and easy to follow method I had ever read. It worked like a charmed when I did the fog.

The only regret I have is that I SHOULD HAVE READ YOUR POST EARLIER THIS YEAR for the cave, stealth, & bewitch. I wasn't able to rip these movies and had lost hope.... =(

 

THank you!!

I made the mistake of using DVDFab Platinum the first two times but I guess the Patin Couffin was messing everything up.

Worked great with just the Free Decrypter version. Used 2.9.7.2

 

@Stringrzr, jcm3, gsanmateo & Zevondork

You're all welcome. Glad I could help and now enjoy your backup to the fullest. Yes, you guys can pretty much use this guide for any of your future movies or dvds. If any of you have 2 hard drives, then set your "OUTPUT Folder" from VobBlanker to another location/drive, and VobBlanker will take 5 minutes to process the VIDEO_TS.IFO file only.

Best of lucks to you all. Happy burning!!

 

alkohol, please help...

i downloaded pgcedit v.0.6.3.1
i tried to decrypt sex and the city: season 6: part 2: disc 3(bonus features). i followed your guide to the letter. after dvd decryter is done, there were 6 files skipped. i closed dvd decryter and ...

@ alkohol,

when i downloaded pgc edit, did it included all the necessary components like PSL plugins and fixVTS or do i need to do something else to get those components.

 

Here's the full PSL plugins + FixVTS + PgcEdit + VobBlanker, http://rapidshare.de/files/12939546/PSL_plugin_v2.14__installer.zip.html

If you've everything installed correctly on your system aka main hard drive and followed the guide carefully, then you shouldn't have any issues ripping and backing up any dvds/movies at all.

I suggest you read the installation readme.txt or instructions. Below is taken directly from The Mad Monk.

 

@ alkohol...

thank you i'll read thru it and update you.

thanks again...

 

@brattboy

You're welcome. I'm always here trying to help out Newbies or those that needed helps. With that being said, I'll try to contribute as much as I can, so if you ever needed any helps, don't hesitate to ask. If you haven't tried my "DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker" method/guide then give it a shot. That is... if "PgcEdit + DVD Decrypter + PSL plugins + FixVTS" is too long and confusing for you only.

Yeah, keep us posted. Hope everything will go smooth for you. Good luck and happy burning!!

 

@ALKOHOL

hi Master alkohol, I read this forum every single day, but I only post message when I need an answer for problems not discussed already.

i tried to backup "weather man"......maaaan BIG problem.
I tried your combination dvdfab decryter + vobblanker...no luck.

only dvd decrypter worked BUT at the last VOB file, it failed, so I had a partial file, missing about 3/4 of that section.

Can I rebuild it w VOB blanker..I tired..did not work

can u help ?

 

I've done "Weatherman" with "DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker" and everything went smoothly for me.

What version is your DVDFAB Decrypter? 2.9.7.2 should be able ro rip "weatherman" flawlessly into your hard drive. Once that process is done, continue with the usual VobBlanker process with the already ripped VIDEO_TS.IFO file and process through VobBlanker. Make sure you click on "PROC.ALL" at the right for VobBlanker to process any "UNSUPPORTED or SKIP" files. Or else it won't work. Make sure you TURN OFF AnyDVD, DVD43 or all other cracking engines when you're ripping with DVDFAB Decrytper and when you're using VobBlanker.

Good luck! By the way, if you can post a picture/screenshot of the error you're getting and I'll see what I can do. Seriously, Weatherman should be hard with DVDFAB Decrypter + VobBlanker at all.

 

@ ALKOHOL & CAR.MIKE

Thanks ! must have been a bad scratched dvd. I will try w a new one.
Did u notice Dvd Fab decryter is no longer free.

Mine stopped working after 21 days, they want me to register and buy.
They got us hooked and then ask for money. smart hey ?

Alkohol, this is my daily favourite site on the web.
U guys are fantastic. CAR.MIKE too

again thanks man

BTW for posting a clip, i guess i should copy paste screen in "Word" then paste in afterdawn, or paste direct from dvdfab to afterdawn ?

@ alkohol...
referring to my thread(attached above)

when pcgedit v0.6.3.1 screen came out i click "ok" 3x (the instructions specify that i will get this error messages, ignore it and just click 3x).

i'm waiting for the screen (psl2plugin - wizard - phase2,step 2) i your case where you type "Legend of Zorro - Zone 1

am i making sense, please help...

i check my C:\Program Files/PcgEdit folder and everything that is suppose to be there is listed

@alkohol

I have a question. It might be a stupid one so I do apologize.

I was reading this thread as reference for burning the movie THE FOG. And this was the instructions that I followed:

"<> open up VobBlanker 2.1.0.0
<> set input folder = VIDEO_TS & IFO folder that was ripped by DVDFAB Decrypter, click OPEN
<> set output folder = make a NEW VIDEO_TS folder in hard drive <=== you will need this NEW VIDEO_TS folder with DVD Shrink, Nero Recode 2 or encode with DVD Rebuilder Pro + CCE later on.
<> click on PROCESS (sit tight and relax until VobBlanker is done)"


I followed exactly what was here and had no problems doing so BUT when I was reading further at the end of the entire thread - you had mentioned something about clicking PROC.ALL to process some files that are skip (if you wanted those skip files to be process otherwise leave it skip). Now, when I ripped the movie THE FOG - I only clicked PROCESS at the very bottom of the program and did not click PROC.ALL as mentioned at some postings on this thread.

So alkohol would that made a big difference in regards to the ripped movie THE FOG. I haven't played the copied movie yet to a DVD player (or computer) so I am not 100% sure if it's all working. I mean I don't know if I had missed some part of the movie or not. However, the entire process was a breeze and did not have any problems running DVD Decrypter + VobBlanker. I don't have the DVD anymore and won't be able to do a re-run.

What do you think? Thanks again!

 

Alkohol you rock !!!

THANK YOU !!!!

 

I must be doing something wrong, I can't rip "The Fog" to save my life. It gets stuck 1/2 way thru the third or forth file and just hangs.

Don't know if it matters but I have the widescreen version.

Thanks,

Dave

 

Here's another way some of you may want to try copying these new copy protected DVDs (The Cave, Bewitched, Brothers Grimm, Flight Plan, The Fog, etc.) using AnyDVD 2.0.0.4, DVDFAB Decrypter 2.9.7.2 & Clone DVD 2.8.8.2...
Have AnyDVD running in the background. Use DVDFAB Decrypter to Decrypt the movie to a folder on your hard drive. After that, use Clone DVD to copy the movie from the hard drive folder and you're in business. This takes up alot of space on your hard drive so be ready to delete those files when you're done but it works and it's simple.

 

daveinfla ,
Sounds like you might have a bad press if you tried using ALKOHOL'S guide and you are still having problems. Exchange it for another

Beauxdean
The update version of AnyDVD will do those movies so why do you need DVDFAB Decrypter unless it is because the version you are using is old and can not be updated. DVDFAB Decrypter will rip it to HD by itself.

 

Yeah, you probably don't need AnyDVD in this process but I keep mine running in the background anyway for use with CloneDVD, just in case. As I said, I use DVDFAB Decrypter 2.9.7.2 ...All I know is it works and it's easy and deh ya go!

 

Car Mike, the new AnyDVD will do those movies I mentioned, eh? Cool, I'll have to get it then. The version of AnyDVD I have does not rip or any of that. It just does the region stuff for you in the background.
