Hello Friends! I brought a few DVD movies and just to avoid any loss of movies because of any stratches, I thought of copying the movies to my HDD. I was successful with a few and faced problems with some others. When I tried to copy the movies "After The Sunset", it gave the following errors with the following softwares... DVD Shrink: DVD Decryptor: Alcohol 120%: I even tried to copy with Alcohol 12% with "Skip data read errors" activated, but there seemed to be some many errors, that it couldnt copy one movie in 12 Hrs. also. Now, incase if there was really some problem with the data in the DVD, how come it played absolutely fine in my Phylips DVD player and even in the same DVD drive of my computer which I use to copy the movie. If there was any problem with the DVD, it wouldnt have played without any flaws. This clearly means that there is some problem with copying. This is not the case with just one movie but with many movies and all the disks are brand new without any stratches. Can you please explan where things are going wrong so that I can correct them. For your information, I am on Windows XP Pro SP2, Sony DVD Writer, 512 MB DDR RAM. Thank you.
Use DVDFab Decrypter(free) to break the encryption when it has finished open Shrink to compress then Imgburn/nero to burn. Or you can use RipIt4Me you can get it here also with the great guide by my mate arniebear http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110 Make sure the disc is clean and free of scratches. Another option is to use anydvd running in the background while using shrink to compress. Links for the programs are in my sig
It is more than likely that you have a bad pressed disc. If you have just bought the disc return it, if not there is not much you can do. Use DVDFab Decrypter then VobBlanker then Shrink. Here is a guide on how to use VobBlanker http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/article_vobblanker_page1.html another excellent guide by alkohol is in my sig
