problem ripping DVD

[xweendogx]

i was trying to rip a DVD using DVD Decrypter, but it looks likes it's having problems reading the disc. but, there are other PGC's on the DVD which DVD decrypter ripped with no problems. i tried other rippers (Smart Ripper and vStrip) and just copying the VOB using windows explorer, but it still won't read the disc.

anything i can do to remedy this?

what error do you get

[ghoster]

whats the name of the dvd?

[xweendogx]

what error do you get

in DVD decrypter, it will start the process, but then retry many times. i don't get anything after that.

i would try cleaning the disc

try ripping on a different dvd-rom , my burner rips better than my dvd-rom drive

try isobuster

[xweendogx]

i just tried isobuster, and it said something like "cannot read sector (#)". tried it in my other drive, and still didn't work.

[Sifaga]

are you using the latest dvddecrypter

i remember some movies floating around that decrypter has a problem ripping

sorry i cant remember the movies involved

if its not a movie then its a dud disc and i have no other ideas

What movie are you trying to rip? There's a new copy protection system that has much discussed involving sectors. Sounds like the same problem.

[xweendogx]

it's a wrestling video.

i believe i have the latest version of dvd decrypter. it was able to rip all the other parts of the dvd.

Sounds like the disc is scratched,go to Tools->Settings->I/O tab and enable Ignore Read Errors.

[xweendogx]

the disc doesn't appear to be scratched. i tried changing the read error setting, but it still didn't work.

Tried ripping with Smartripper?

Get the latest dvdshrink and try ripping with that.

[xweendogx]

did try with smartripper.

will check out dvdshrink when i get the chance.

just ran dvdshrink. got a data error "cyclic redundancy check."

If it is getting a CRC error, then you'll likely either have a dirty read side that you might not have noticed or you'll have an actual flaw in the media, as in a scratch. It happens.

Have you tried fast forwarding through the entire original and check all the extras, etc, to see if it has a read error using the original? If there are foreign languages that you don't need, you could try eliminating them using DVD Shrink or try reauthoring the main movie only under the same and hope to get lucky.

I just recently had the same error with DVD Shrink, and I made sure the disk was clean, put it back in the drive, and it took off with no probs. It definitely seems to be a "physical" issue with the disk itself.

Hope this helps.

Your dvd is probably physically damaged though it may not be visible to naked eye. Did you leave the dvd in bright sunlight for long. Because the ultraviolet light can damage the disk without scratching !! It will result in CRC error.
