well i went to make a backup of it today and it keeps coming up that there is bad sectors just wondering if anyone has had the same problem

[jtoolman2000]

What has bad sector? Your backup or your original? If its the original, you could have a dirty or scratched disk. Even if you can't see it. If it's your backup, your media is not good. Try a better media. Your? does not contain all the info needed to make an accurate suggestion.

its the original ive just got it there isnt a mark on it. ive also tried dvdshrink and it gives a bad sector at about the same place was just wondering if there is a different kind of protection on this like the forgotten and a few others.

Sounds like Arcoss protection. Try a forum search.

I think the latest versions of DVDdecrypter or AnyDvd can get round it.

ive tried the latest dvddecrypter but no good will try anydvd see if that works cheers

[raze1000]

Definately looks like a new protection.
Same thing on this copy i have here.
Dvd decryptor wont do it
AnyDVD wont do it
CloneDVD wont do it
DVD Shrink wont do it
Can't demux the files with DVD2AVI
The CRC error is on Vob VTS_04_1.vob

I have tried everything I can throw at it.
Nothing seems to work

[sunderland]

yes same here raze1000 thats the same place i get my errors at vob vts_04_1.vob

[bugster]

One of the suggestions for previous titles with this kind of protection was VOB BLANKER. Never used it myself but should be worth trying.

Or check the DVDdecrypter forums for advice.

What version of anydvd are you using?

Anydvd updated recently to handle the newest version of arCCos.

Dvdregion + CSS Free will also handle it.

[sunderland]

the latest version 4.5.8.1

[Laddydaddy]

Try looking here; http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48359. Let us know if that method for ripping your DVD works.

well i removed anydvd then put it back on. and i used that and dvdshrink and it worked a treat. also tried copying to harddrive with dvddecrypter and it worked as well. thanks for all who give advice.

[Gurm]

BINGO!

I love it when people say "I have tried the latest DVD Decrypter and AnyDVD" but in reality they are using one that's a month or two old... *sigh*

[raze1000]

Doh !!

Sure was an outdated Anydvd
Only by a few weeks though (never had auto check for new version selected)
Is this the only current program that can crack the new Arcoss protection ?

[jtoolman2000]

AnyDVD seems to be the only SW that is keeping up with the feeble attempts by Hollywood to keep us from backing up our DVDs.

As gurm said, don't assume you do the "latest" this or that. You probably do not. Case and point is AnyDVD.

They modified it slgihtly to keep up with the latest protection scheme changes

[vixal]

What SW did you use to burn to disc as I keep getting errors with Nero?

Thanks in advance.

[sunderland]

use dvddecrypter thats what i used

[Soixante]

Well this is the vob thats giving me a headache.Tried the latest anydvd,tried dvd decrypter with the psl list as well .

[sunderland]

i got that before i put the latest anydvd on. but use that and dvdshrink. shrink it to a ISO file. and then use dvddecrypter to burn it.

Thumbs up
