hi, i've been trying to burn hostage and when I go into the burning process and it goes through the vob, one of the files in it is encrypted. i haven't been able to fix the problem does anyone know of how to fix this?
Are you sure there is no problem with the disk, like scratched, or needs cleaning, because I had no problems burning it with Shrink, and Decrypter, and that was yesterday. HTH, Rich
The dvd is in perfect condition and i'm using anydvd and dvdclone2. i don't have a big enough hard drive to use dycrypter and dvdshrink.
You don't have 8GB's free on your harddrive, or there abouts? I'm guessing you have the latest version AnyDVD, correct? I think you need to spell out more info about your problem. Sorry, can't help out more, Rich
i only use DVD Shrink , and sometimes DVD Decrypter, both of which take up virtually no space. Plus Hostage has not funny new protections on it.
My Computer has 9 gigs free, and when i rip the movie it's like 6.1 gig and then when i try to compress it it says that I only have 3 gigs left and not enough to shrink it. And i've tried DVD43 and it crashes my compter. so with anydvd I've tried CloneDVD2, DVD-Cloner, 1ClickDVDCopy, and DVD X Copy Plat. and every time I get an error. Either Vob... encrypted or just a generic error on the programs that don't tell you exactly what the problem is.
a-ha, that's gonna be a problem, you need more space, one lot of space to rip movie to disc, and another load of space to shrink to..
creaky, Just out of curiosity, how much space is required for Shrink/Decrypter to backup a 8-9GB DVD? I thought it was about the size of the source DVD, or actually, whatever size you indicate to Shrink, which should be about 4.5GB for single layer output? TIA, Rich
depends what you end up needing to do. worst case you'd need decrypter to drag off the entire 9GB DVD to hard drive, then 4odd gig to Shrink from there, so yup
OK, you guys have been talking about backing up Hostage. Well I have backed up every single one of my movies and all of them have worked. Now I just got Hostage, and everything acts like its fine, burn complete and everyhting, but when I go to play it, even on both my computers and my dvd player it doesnt read it, it says its a blank dvd. I am using the same dvds I have use on all my others and the same burn process. I use DVD Decrypter to Decrypted it, then Shrink to Encode it, then Decrpyter to Burn it. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so can someone tell me how to get around it?
that's nothing to do with Hostage. download dvdinfopro (free) from www.dvdinfopro.com and run the disc thru it's media info check, pasting the details here. Then glance at the 2nd link in my signature just in case your media appears in my tribute to bad media thread.
I tried everything that was in all your links, nothing worked. It is the the Movie, because I just bought Coach Carter and it works fine. Just the problem is when I go to try and play my burned copy of hostage it wont play, not even on my computer. It says it burns fine, but nothing. Thank You
@fenix623 - pls do the dvdinfopro media info check and paste the results here. Also, download Nero info-tool from here - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html click on the drive tab, note down the exact drive name and the firmware version. Here's what mine shows - http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/creaky/neroinfotool-example-of-drive-tab.jpg
What is the deal with Hitch, Hostage, House of Flying Daggers, and a few more? Using the latest versions of Shrink and Decrypter and sometimes DVD43 (which I actually NEVER shutdown anyway) and Recode2, I have backed up all of these and not had a SINGLE issue with CSS or ARcCOS or playback..... Thank God for TY's and Verbs!!!!
Hey Creaky, I have Nero, I have tried burning it both ways, decrypter and shrink with Nero, but I will post what the program says when I get home from work.
dvdinfopro, i misread your post, i thought you meant you had Nero Buring Rom, in which case a logfile would have been excellent; saying that nero info-tool has a great detailed log if you click on the save icon and copy/paste it here, just beware it's a long logfile, but we could try that after the dvdinfo check
so what will this show, because that is just wierd that i can do everything else just fine, but just this one.
trying to rule out the blank media used as most posts i get involved in (lots) are down to bad media in the main, plus usually a few setup problems
