DVD won't copy entirely.

[video_enthusiast07]

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue when trying to copy a regular home video DVD (regular non commercial DVD)


ok, I try to make an exact copy of the DVD, yet the copy will not play on the DVD player. (Ive made other copies before of other movies without a problem).


Ive also tried importing the movie via Pinnacle Studio which converts the movie directly to edit it right away but it only imports like 90% of the movie, making the movie end about I'd say 10 minutes before the movie actually ends.

(Pinnacle Studio does a good job importing full movies...its just certain specific movies which don't convert completely, plus trying to import these specific movies in Pinnacle Studio is a headache, I have to use a trick to get the importing process to work, but either way it doesnt work completely)

In conclusion..

I've noticed a specific pattern. Ive had the same issue with 2 different movies but that same 1 guy created them. I'm beginning to think he added some kind of anti copy, because other movies that he did not create... I have been able to copy without a problem, but I'm not sure if its that, or some kind of error.

Do you know whats going on?

So it work fine to copy the entire dvd video_ts folder to your hd without any reading problems?
Try also VOB2MPG and see if you get the entire video in the mpg file.

Thanks for the info.

You're joking right



Why the H#LL would you use a piece of crap software like that ? espc. to burn anything with ??

Have you just tried DVD Decrypter > ISO > READ, DVD Decrypter > ISO > WRITE ?

If it's a home made dvdr there is not much more you should have to do to copy it
