the saw III

I have no idea why anyone would avoid RI4M. Once set up, it's easy and relatively fast for all it does. The one click couldn't be more easy and with the wizard it walks the user through. Check the guide and all you have to remember is to have DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter installed before using the RI4M installer. It might be an idea to give the official guide a quick look. http://www.ripit4me.org/guide.html

This isn't the old Decrypter PSL setup. RI4M is so fast it smokes in comparison. You'll be surprised when you go to use it.

 

Remember to update the FixVTS in RI4M to 1.6.0.3

i think your going to be aDa is like two days lol!!! with all the post

@Pacman777, I'm trying another approach which is to process the SAW III file decrypted with RipIt4Me & DVD Decrypter through CloneDVD2 which so far is working. Anyone know where I can go in DVD Decrypter to change the "On The Fly" feature. Though the SAW III file completed decrypting through RipIt4Me & DVD Decrypter I did get "On The Fly" errors which I simply clicked through. RipIt4Me did suggest that I process the remaining file through FixVTS which I did not have installed on my PC, so I'm using CloneDVD2 2.9.0.3 which should do the same job. Damn!...this was a tough one. I hope I got all the extras and stuff.;P

 

let us know if that works

if it doesn't try the same method doing the movie only

 

DVDFab Decrypter has ver. 3060 to handle this one.

 

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!! SAW III backed up perfectly menus & extras using RipIt4Me 1.6.4.0 in combination DVD Decrypter encoded through CloneDVD2 2.9.0.3 a dreaded wait, but YES!!!!! "SWEET SUCCESS!" Hey can someone let SlySoft know they're LATE!!!!;p

 

try doing the movie only with clonedvd 2 + anydvd

 

That will no doubt work as always because your bypassing the source of the problem. But when AnyDVD has to face those 40 bogus titles, so far it chokes hard. Same with Vob Blanker in Auto Mode. You'll see. In the meantime RipIt4Me (FreeWare?)is on the JOB!!! It's amazing how useful DVD Decrypter still is today, long after it was last updated. A new and free software like RipIt4me comes along builds it's capabilities around an old outdated but powerful software DVD Decrypter. It's like a decrypter's, decrypter.

 

I've never stopped using DVD Decrypter. Let's give some credit to the rest of the software, FixVTS and Shrink. Without the FixVTS the files might not end up compliant. Meaning no transcoder or encoder would process the files. That little program is a must have. I was using it before RI4M. RI4M automates its use though. I know of no other free transcoder like DVD Shrink we can use. Not only does Shrink do the transcoding it also acts as a test for file compliance. If Shrink does the quick analysis, it's a good bet that the files can be transcoded or encoded successfully.

I noticed the attempt to do things without parts of RI4M. That defeats the purpose. It works as a unit. So, it needs to be set up as directed, install the last versions of Shrink and Decrypter and then install RI4M with FixVTS. Once the decryption and clean up is done, it doesn't matter whether you use the Shrink with Decrypter to transcode and burn or software of your choice. I used Rebuilder Pro with CCE for Crank and Talladega Nights and burned with Nero Express. The important part of the job is getting a "cleaned" rip and RI4M can Git-R-Done.

aDa? No, I have no desire to seek such lofty status. Guess I need to give it a rest. A rare quiet moment at home with the wife visiting her sister. LOL

 

@PacMan777, FixVTS was not part the equasion for me...I'm not trying to discredit it's abilities, I just didn't use it. I used CloneDVD2 2.9.0.3 instead. This is not a popular method but the idea came to mind when reading that SlySoft's AnyDVD ripper did not update it's FixVTS so per SlySofts suggestion they recommended that you use CloneDVD2 in conjunction with AnyDVD as opposed to AnyDVD's built in ripper that works with FixVTS. I just took the advice and applied it to RipIt4Me.

 

Did you run RI4M in Wizard or One Click mode?

 

Yep...I did "SAW III" & "OPEN SEASON" wizard mode (RipIt4Me).;p

 

I'm not sure about Saw 3 since I can't get it till next week. Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to purchase early releases. But with Crank and Talledega Nights, you won't be doing any full discs without running FixVTS. By the way, would you supply your RipIt4Me log on that. I'd like to see what is in Saw 3 that's interfering with the backup.

 

@PacMan777, I hear you mention, these titles "Crank" and "Talledega Nights" But they didn't pose a problem at all to me though they both were encrypted with the now normal cocktail of encryption. Before all of this worsened encryption found on "SAW III" & "OPEN SEASON" my method was to Run AnyDVD in the backround along side NERO 7 Recode2 which worked 95% of the time with acception of titles that are loaded with extra's that exceeded NERO's Recode2 compression limits, for those titles I would then use AnyDVD & CloneDVD2. I guess you learn something new everyday. But when any and all try this method I used they will be able to back up either SAW III or "OPEN SEASON" do keep it in mind, again it works.

 

Good information from all. I was not able to decrypt Saw III with Fab but with your information, it was ripped and is burning right now. Thanks to all!!!

Most of the problems with backing up movies are either with using the wrong software or software not updated to do particular copy protections. So far no one has supplied a log of a decryption of Saw 3 that I've seen and the AnyDVD doesn't give a breakdown of cells and bogus titles. RI4M shows an excellent one.

One thing I wonder about some claims is that certain software don't have automatic editing abilities. How are those programs dealing with bogus files if they're not able to edit or blank them? (Rhetorical question) They can't. Any software that can do movie only can often do a backup.

I started doing backups when the first DVD burners came on the market. Once I learned the software and what was involved with the protection, I've been able to do all the movies and that includes the increased protection. It's been a gradual increase in protection with Sony leading the way. The new stuff is more or less just a lot more of what was there before, structure protection, bogus files, protected cells, ARccOS, and Puppetlock. With a little inventiveness and the software support teams getting the software updated quickly as needed, there's been no real problems. A famous play by Shakespeare comes to mind, "Much Ado About Nothing".

I've been asking for someone to supply an RI4M log on this one. They've shown that app works as well when the user clicks Okay to warnings a few times during the rip. DVDIdle is updated, and AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 are supposedly up to date.

A few more days and I'll have my own copy. I'm of the same school as alkohol, aabbccdd, binkie and the others here, I don't think it's going to be anything or real merit. Like I've said before, the new copy protectioin doesn't appear to be all that much. Of course they may fool me, but so far the guys with the decryption software have kept up or stayed ahead. My hats off to them and I hope they keep up the good work.

Did you use the 3060 Beta? DVDIdle specifically updated the program for Saw 3 and people have said it works.
