The Forgotten

[ffchief25]

Just a heads up (I don't know if this has been posted), anyone interested in making a legal backup of the Forgotten which hits the shelves tommorrow will have to use one of the methods used to copy Resident Evil 2, or Little Black Book. It seems like the easiest way has been with DVD Decrypter and then DVD Shrink.

Thanks for the heads up!

The new anydvd beta will work for this as well.

[sapiendut]

Having LOTS of problem even using DVD Decrypter.

At around 79% it says I/O error - Cyclic Redundancy Error while trying to De-CSS

Always at the same spot.

The latest version of DVDDecrypter work well but I have never seen such a listing if exclamation marks. At one point I read the fine print and Decryper's message said
"Arrrrgh...too many blank headers missing...." It also slowed down to a 1.3X read for a couple of files. When it was done Shrink had no trouble. An old version of Clone DVD failed. Too bad the movie isn't worth all the trouble.

Set structure protection check to aggressive, set from io excahenge/brute force to brute force/io exchange, select ignore read errors and detect mastering errors, and see if that helps.

Already tried all that.

Now I'm going to try just "brute force" and not "brute force->I/O Exchange" and see how it works. I'll let you guys know.

I ripped this movie to hard drive with Decryp (Latest vs)and then transcoded with shrink, however the burned copy shows no video, any 1 else with this problem

Yeah, it's nutso. I think I've found the solution, though.

Once it's turned into the video file, don't burn it just yet. Re-do the finished file using Shrink and use the edit function (the one that looks like two arrows), move the slider to 2nd chapter then use the "<<" button until the beginning of the movie, and back it up again.

The end result SHOULD work. I'll give you the update within 15 minutes.

[Jah_Rankin]

Sounds good, keep us posted

[sapiendut]

IT WORKS!!!!!

the stupid thing is that stuck scene is also being experienced by me when I try to play the original disc on my DVD players

- Pioneer DV-05
- Denon 910
- Yamaha 5650 (old firmware)
- Yamaha 5650 (new firmware)

The only way for me to watch this disc flawlessly is by watching the back-up

I'll try as soon as I find a RW disc

Just to add, when editing it's easier to select the chapter that the movie should jump too in the chapter selector drop down menu oppose to using the slider., Thanx again.

On my machine, just for this title, the chapter skip option on DVDShrink was somehow disabled. Weird.

You have got to remove the prohibited user options.

[sapiendut]

where can I find that option? (y'know, me being a newbie in using any program at all)

Could've fooled me LOL

[sapiendut]

Thanks, but I already used that and it seems to work just for the output file. When the original file doesn't allow me, I still can't do the editing.

Funny thing is the 'original' file was processed with Shrink with that option checked. After re-doing (editing) the file with Shrink once again (to remove the blank portion of the movie), all the chapters are accessible.

I'm confused. I hope it's only this title that gives me the runaround.

Spent $26 Canadian (plus taxes) and I have to make a copy in order to watch the feature... what a concept.

[Jah_Rankin]

Good Job.

i've now managed to rip this movie, but shrink will not open the files so i go to re author, and theres 3 main movie files, with the biggest being 700mb.......

[sapiendut]

There must be something wrong with the rip. It shouldn't be that small and there can't be 3 movie files. The movie file -- director's cut -- is about 3.4Gig and the theatrical cut is about 3.2Gig

What I did was I rip the entire disc using Decrypter into one folder, than open that folder using Shrink 3.2. Then the resulting file was re-back-upped by editing the first several minutes of the blank movie data removed (using Shrink 3.2 again).

[djblade]

i can now get to this stage, so, in re-author mode, clip the first blank bit, and the result file wants to be 20gb, i noticed that when i pull the sliding bar, the credits crop up in the wrong place, and theres spots of blank video throughout the movie, so, have you actually watch your finalized and burnt movie ????

[sapiendut]

I only get the blank area in the beginning of the movie and nowhere else.

To answer your second question, yes I've watched the burned copy from beginning to end.

[djblade]

just re-ripped with decrypter, and shrink comes up with this error - invalid data in file i\:the forgotten\vts_03_0.vob

what settings are you using for decrypter.......

[sapiendut]

please refer to the 6th post on this thread by Bazooka. I use the same setting as his BUT instead of choosing "Brute Force -> I/O Exchange" I use "Brute Force" only.

[djblade]

geeze, dam thing comes up with same error - I GIVE UP

Try using your DVD burner as the source, sometimes it helps.

Just burned an excellent copy by:

Using Shrink (latest version) and AnyDVD 4551, Optorite DD1205 (f/w 120e) as the "reader" and BenQ DW1620 (f/w B7P9) as the "writer"

ReAuthered in Shrink; used the "start/end frames" tool to start the movie at the first scene of the movie and then set the end at the first frame with the credits.

Burned with Nero (ver 6606) from inside Shrink and 4X speed on BeAll (silver printerable) 4X media.

Played it back on my standalone Sony player and it looks great, 100% satisfied I am.

Sorry for the long post, but I hope this might help some folks.

[Gurm]

Wow you people are doing a lot of work. You can just rip it with AnyDVD or DVD Decrypter. I fail to see what the problem is here, other than user error.
