I see that you are using that old WIN88 SE operating system (Win88 was a piece of junk).

I've never even heard of super DVD ripper. Get yourself a modern operating system, then try SMARTRIPPER (which I use) or DVDDecryptor (which I don't use that often).

Oh... I look at your "Computer Details" button, and it shows Win88 S E.

I have heard of people having problems ripping certain DVDs. Usually, if this happens, then they just change from Smartripper to DVDDecryptor, or vice versa.

It could be a dirty disk.

What type/brand of drive are you using to rip the files? I noted in the posts that you hadnt updated your info yet. I had a Samsung that needed a firmware update before it could rip some newer dvd roms. It would give me all kinds of odd read errors. I flashed it and they all went away.

Just out of curiosity, did you check your ASPI layer?
