Does “ripped successfully” mean fixed?

[coody]

If a bad disc is successfully ripped, does it mean it is fixed eventually and the subsequent new ripping/copy from it will unlikely have the same problem such the data redundancy error message?

[ROF]

Not enough info. Did you rip the disc with an "ignore read errors" in effect? If so your resulting rip contains probably enough problems to where burning the resulting rip is a waste of media.

[redwudz]

Possibly, but what program are you using to rip it?

[jimmalenko]

If you mean the "cyclic redundancy check" error, that is a disc problem. Burnt to a good disc, that problem should go away, provided that the data wasn't corrupted also.

No. It means the program thinks it is. Does not mean the program was correct in it's assumptions. It is possible to 'successfully rip' a DVD with some compy protection intact. Yes, you have a DVD on your HDD, but you can't do anything with it.

Can you play it without any problems ?
Can you load it into something like DVD Shrink ?

I used the DVDFab Decrypter to rip some DVD source which could not be copied/ripped by the Nero, DVDDecypter, ColonDVD2 etc but can be only played by the DVD player. After successfully ripping, the Nero then can copy the ripped the DVD source without problems/error messages. It seems to me it has been fixed. At least, the source can be copied without the use of the DVDFabDecrypter again.

The best test is watch it, especially the segement that "used to have problem".

It sounds like he/she was trying to rip a protected disc but the rips failed (due to the protection). He/she then stumbled on to DVDFabDecrypter which, as we all know, bypasses this type of copy protection.

It sounds like the only "problem" was the user was not aware of copy protections outside of CSS, and wasn't referring to an actual "problem" (real problem) disc.

The cyclic redundancy message could have been a result of this. I have gotten this error from time to time when attempting to backup these types of discs.

More information than just a poorly worded statement-esque question is necessary. Maybe some media information? Is this pressed or a burnt disc? If it was a burnt disc, what type of media? Did you store this disc in the sun for 2 weeks prior to your rip attempt?

Even a movie title would help.

[coody]

You are wrong. I have the AnyDVD installed. There is no protection issue at all. The DVD movie itself is a non protection one. I am talking about the bad DVD ripped successfully and then the ripped source can be copied again and again without problems. So, it is ripped but also fixed.

Think of a ripper as a being like a backup program. It will copy what it sees, might even make some smart assumptions about the content, but it doesn't really understand if what it is doing it right. It just does. I have seen many backup programs very successfully back up bad data.

That said, if you write back to disc whatever data the ripper has collected, be it correct or not, you will not recieve the errors from the new version. These errors were related to the original disc, and cannot be transferred to the new disc. The data may not be 100% complete or accurate, and if this is the case, you may get different errors - from image break up at the low end, to play back failure at the more extreme.

In the end, the final test if to play it back and watch it all the way through. If it is clean, it was successful.
