help with backup of Six Feet Under disc

[nickynoodles]

After a doing a search through past topics I'm turning to all of you out there for some help. Trying to do a backup of the first season of Six Feet Under. Disc 1 and 2 went smooth with a combo of dvdbackup and dvd2one. Disc 3 ripped fine with dvdbackup, but crapped out in dvd2one. Why? On the dvd2one forum, there's a thread on this - but mostly PC users responded and offered very little help. Please - if anyone out here has successfully backed up the set, share with me your secrets. You out there have proved to be the best resource for all us mortals.

I had the EXACT same experience with disc 3 of Six Feet Under season one. I was hoping I just had a bad disc, but now I'm starting to think there is a problem with the authoring on this disc.

My educated guess is there's a problem with the break-bit at the layer transition that DVD2One cannot handle. I even tried this in DVD2One for the PC and had the same problem.

I would also appreciate any advice from participants who have successfully backed up disc three.

I'm a pc user but I think I had a problem just like your's some reason some DVD are still not encrypted after ripping. This is what I did I use a PC ripper Smart ripper I rip the the hole DVD to one folder I want the menus. Then you will have the hole DVD in one folder now rip from that folder to another folder. This will get the encryption that it missed on the first rip. I have only seen this one time with Anime series. And DVD2one was locking up and it took me week to find a way around it. But it work fine for me so give it a shot.

Did anyone ever figure out how to do this?

It is not related to encryption that is missed. Apparently there is a problem with the original disc so it causes dvd2one to fail at the same point.

Still looking for a way to get dvd2onex to complete on Six Feet Under disc 3...

The only suggestion I have is try another backing up method
ie something other than what you used previously

Options are
1. DvdBackup
2. OSeX
3. DVDextractor

You could also try simply OPTION+DRAG the mounted dvd to your desktop (thus copying entire contents to your HD in encrypted form still)
THEN run this folder though a backup app

OR perhaps toast image it to your hd, then mount the image and use it as the source for one of the backup apps

if it fails one, try another. If it fails all 3, sorry dont know what to say
