Cyclic Redundancy Error on ALL Rippers !!

[TPL]

Hi, a newbie to ripping (BACKUP !) ihave ripped at least 15 movies no probs till NOW !! using DVD Decryptor & DVD2one, then got into dvd shrink and Nero6, all was well till two weeks ago when i defraged my pc, started getting cyclic redundancy check error, have followed forum since have downloaded/used smart ripper, isobuster and i also use dvdxcopy which i used(hmm$$), can rip through smaller movies like silence of the lambs etc (115mins)but tried the two sequels and no luck! gets to 50%etc and CRC prevents from any further tried most of the forum ideas on changing settings on all programs to no avail, movies play alright on my PS2 & Power dvd etc, updated firmware NEC 110a (ge10) update aspi drive Adaptec am frustrated!! some movie shrink analyzes ok but when encoding to hard drive no other times vise versa,,, P4 2.8ghz 512mb RAM nivdia geforce 5200fx card soundblaster live plus tv card, any ideas would be much appreciated ta TPL.

OOPs should clearup that movies i play on ps2 have been succesfully ripped previously, the problem is not dirty disks, nor lense in reader, it just won't read all of the movie it's like it times out! if you know what i mean? (but only sometimes) like i said it will analyze the whole movie but encoding is errored,,strange,,

I got that same error when backing up a movie. I used decryter, smartripper, shrink, dvd x copy, and even tried to copy and paste the video_ts. I posted about on here but I never got a response that would get around the problem. My conclusion was that the problem was a burn error on the disc when it was created. I was never able to find a way to create a descent backup because I was getting the error on one of the main movie vobs. If you can determine if the error is with one of the menu vobs or a vob thats part of the extras on the movie you could probably get around that by reauthoring the movie. Otherwise it sounds like you're out of luck. I would bet that if you could get another copy of the same movie and tried backing it up you would have no problems at all.

Thanx for the reply 4smiley20, I believe it to be a random VOB in the movie itself if possible, i have tried both encoding ALL files and Movie only and still get this, check this out, i got three copies of one movie and the same with each! (latest release) yet a friend of mine backed up a copy of the same movie first time! WEIRD ! maybe just a case of reading sensitivity or something? just can't believe this could just drop out and become a random problem! still have faith in the programs!

Will be patient and wait till this is sorted, obviously a difficult problem for ALL.

Have you tried different DVD drives ?

Your HD might be stuffed also.

as daft as it sounds i had the same problem with my nec 1300a. the daft bit is, that someone sugested i checked my hard drive so i scanned it and fixed the errors and it works fine now. i know it doesn't make sense but it worked. give it a go what you got to lose.

Hey People, thanx for you're input, 1st Jimmalenko, no mate i haven't, might have to invest in another! just paid high two's for this beast and well what can i say! main reason was dvd's, music and photo's!

Jimmy Mumu, have scanned with NAV 2003, and doesn't come up with any errors, perhaps need to get System works etc,,

Might try and defrag again as have unloaded some old files etc,,
Never know ya luck in a big city, might have a reversal of fortune!! YA.

Persistance pays and i'm not gonna BREAK !!
