Resident Evil 2 Problem.

[dimebolt]

Im new to backing up my dvd's but I searched abit and came up with nothing.

I have a 3500a

I use slysofts anyDVD, DVDDecrypter, and Nero 6 Ultra 3

Ive made a few successfull backups *im 5 for 5 so no failures*

But I got res evil2 tonight and I wanted to back it up and start decrypting it and I get an error everytime on.

VTS_02_1

I tried decoding it in nero, and it was fine until it gt to that segment of disc, and *hung*.

I cant seem to back up this disc.

I also tried before a firmware upgrade and after.

I aslo re-ripped a few diff disc's all worked no problem.

[jimmalenko]

Is VTS_02_1.VOB part of the main movie ?

There's been a number of region 1 releases putting dummy VOBs in lately in order to make programs fall over.

Try opening that file in PowerDVD or WinDVD directly off the disc. Does it play anything ?

[dimebolt]

yeah its roughly 1gb in size and its the main movie.

[jimmalenko]

What error does DVDDecrypter give ?

[dimebolt]

One sec ill re-check

Also I noticed, there is no Audio_ts folder,

instead a

Jacket_P folder, and some funky files (atleast to me)

[dimebolt]

Ok what I get/notice.

It starts ripping files till it gets to

VTS_02_1.VOB, then the speed drops to 0.0x and I start getting automatic retries.

My drive (nec 3500) also produces next to no noise, until it hits this file, then it makes a *clicking* sound.

This disc plays just fine in my player tho, the file plays when I open it alone, and it plays in my stand alone dvd player.

the error.

W 04:42:38 Failed to read Sector 192544 - No Seek Complete

I/O Error!

Gonna abort and see if itll rip any other main chunks of the movie.

[dimebolt]

It seems it'll rip the others, just not this file, The disc has no scratches, It litterally went from store unopened to my nec 3500.

[jimmalenko]

There's a number of ways to attack this:

Make sure you have the latest version of DVDDecrypter

Try setting DVDDecrypter to ignore read errors (Tools > Settings > I/O)




Try setting DVDDecrypter to detect mastering errors (Tools > Settings > CSS)




Try smartripper


Try a different DVD drive

[freestyler]

Sounds like a scratch.

Try the disc in a different reader if you can.

W 04:56:08 Possible Structure Protection Found!

are those normal?

[dimebolt]

All three of your suggestions failed.

This disc is brand spanken new, and plays flawlessy in everything.

I examined it no smears even.

I've never seen them

As I said, some recent R1 releases seem to have had something done to them to make them more difficult to back up.

3 suggestions ? I thought there was 4 ?

BTW, try DVDshrink also .... and that makes 5 ...

[dimebolt]

Beh Im tired, thanks for all of your help.

Im gonna read this thread when I wake up see if anyone else had any kind of problems or success.

And if not ill return it and get another new disc just incanse, and try backing that one up.

[Hardcoreruss]

Give smartripper a go as Jim said. It is much less tempramental

[mn072065]

Hi. I tried backing my copy with DVDSHRINK 3.2 and it failed. It was seeing it as scratched. I can't back it up. I guess this will be one of theose movies that cannot be backed up. I had the same prroblem with Micey Mouse Twice Upon Xmas. Same error. Unless someone figures it out.

[jimmalenko]

No problem

Im gonna read this thread when I wake up see if anyone else had any kind of problems or success.

Good idea. You'll probably find that someone will work out how to master this puppy in the next couple of days (if it IS in fact a preventative measure on the disc), since it was only released today IIRC.

And if not ill return it and get another new disc just incanse, and try backing that one up.

Good idea

This might be a problem from the real DVD that it was just a bad copy. It happens from time to time. Return the DVD say its not playing right get another copy and see what happens. If its still happening its two of one thing. One all the DVD have some kind of copy protection now or all of the copies have been copied bad.

I had the same problem. I could not back up my RE Apocolypse.

Plenty of people are having problems with it.

I am having a similar problem on my Windows machine. I am now ripping the main feature on my G5 Macintosh with MacTheRipper and it seems to be working. Will report later on.

[d4amenace]

I too am having the exact same problem. I have tried DVDShrink, CloneDVD, Smartripper, and DVD Decrypter and none have worked. It may be some new form of protection. How can I alert the creators of those programs about possible new forms of protection?

[jamerican]

Finished ripping it on my Mac but the resulting files would not play in DVD Player. Something's funky with this disc.

[louthewiz]

I had the same problem with the same movie and I tried 4 different brand new dvds and it wont rip.

[d4amenace]

VobBlanker works. Then compress with DVDShrink or CloneDVD2.

[shelbyGT]

um, am i the only one that's got it to work?

I had no probs backing up Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, whole disc back up minus languages and subs I would never use, but I do not own RE 2 so I will never know about that one.

[shelbyGT]

well, i did what this guy said and it worked

[edit]okay, so should i not put those sector numbers here? follow the link in a couple posts above this one and the answers are in there for you, like the guy underneath me said you have to tell decrypt to skip certain bad spots.[/edit]

The following is a summation of technical knowledge freely available on the web.

This problem has been resolved in the forum.dvddecryter.com forums. The movie uses Protected Sectors. D* has the ability to import an ASCII file listing the sectors to ignore, otherwise the program will fail when it reaches these sectors which are defective. DVD players read a list of instructions as to how to play a particular disk (usually used for showing alternate endings or special directors cuts of the movie). Often the instructions contain directives to seamlessly jump from one spot in the movie to another. In this case the instructions tell the player to jump past "bad spots" on the disk. Unfortunately the decrypter programs read sector by sector until they fail at a bad one INTENTIONALLY mastered in the disk. An ASCII list of the bad sectors can be IMPORTED into D* which will skip these "bad spots". It's different for each movie. Thats why its not CURRENTLY included in D*. There are files available to accomplish this for this movie but I'm not going to publish pirate information. Remember this is just a technology discussion.


OOPS! The cat is out of the bag ^^^^^^.

use the IFO MODE in Dvddecrypter.ifo vts_02 is wide screen and vts_05 is full screen.click chapter 1 untick cells 1-8 (wide screen)cells 1-5(full screen).total time for chapter 1 should be 5:56.16(wide),5:56.12 full screen.this is for movie only,no menu.use IFOEDIT to make your IFO and BUP files.use IFOEDIT again to get rid of subs,extra audio, ect,ect.DVDDECRYPTER is still my #1.i forgot i'm using V. 3.5.1.0

Never mind found the solution

Here it goes:

Its real easy... to rip RE2. I have over 500+ backups, and well this is the first one that gave me troubles. vobBlanker works like a charm.

Install/Unzip to chosen directory

Run exe

For input folder select your dvd drive that has RE2

Open up the video_ts folder and hit ok

then select output folder to where u want the movie copied too

Then hit process... thats it!!!
Don't worry about modifyibg it in anyway cause I didn't really see the need for it.

Open DVD Shrink and open file point to where the files are located for RE2

AND BOOM THERE U GO!! Just carry on the way u do it just as if u put the dvd and and started shrink.

Pick out what u want and rip, it works great no problems(for me at least)

Vob Blanker is free too...
