Help. Trying to back up the Prisoner and it keeps killing my computer

[gijoel]

Hi all hope I'm not breaking any rules here.

I'm trying to back up disk 1 of the Prisoner series. Only thing is it keeps killing any program that looks at it DvD shrink, anydvd, DVDdecrypt, isobuster, fabdvd. They've all crashed and burn. Taking my computer with it.

I've tried the geek guide on the guides list. I've updated my firmware and what not. I can watch the dvd on nerovision. But the blasted thing still kills them all without mercy.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

Can anyone here help me.

On another note the program seems to wind down as it is processing the dvd. It gets to vts.06.vob and then becomes frozen.

Has anyone else had a similar experience when ripping a dvd?

No. But the Prisoner has been around quite a while, so I doubt it is Arcoss. More likely to be a bad disc in the box. I would take it back.

I agree with guns1inger ... Sounds like a bad disc. It might look fine to the naked eye and might even play back fine but try to RIP and you encounter errors.

I guess one thing to note is to try and clean it making sure there are no fingerprints on it etc. and try again but if you clean it and you still can't rip it then it is just a bad disc.
