Freeze at 2 minutes 6 seconds on multiple backup attempts.

[lopaka1998]

Hi,

I am trying to backup one of my DVD's - and it seems very stubborn. I ripped it without problems wiith MacTheRipper 2.6.6 (and I even tried the version 3 beta - same result). Opened up Toast Titanium, and burned. I have done this before with other dvd's - perfect copies. Not this time though.

After 40 minutes (using 2X memorex DVD+R DL media), the dvd verified - perfect.

Played in two dvd players - both froze for a few seconds and jumped two seconds ahead at 00:02:06 to 00:02:08 - creating a skip.

Re-MacTheRipper'ed, burned using new copy. Same result.

Third attempt - tried again - but used the Video tab ->Video_TS option instead of making a disk image from disk image made using DVD Imager. Same result - at exactly 00:02:06.

Hoping someone has an idea. I am using double layer (DVD-9) DVD+ media - as I don't like to compress.

Oh - and I don't want to forget to mention that the DVD plays just fine - no skip - in the computer's DVD burner (a Pioneer DVR-111D).

Help please! maybe I should use DVDRemaster to re encode the video?

Thx.

First, before Lawnman gets here, go and post more specific info
over at the MTR Forum at www.ripdifferent.com.
Post what the Disc is ( Spiderman 2, etc) and what specific
MTR's you used ( you say 2.66, but which MTR 3? there is
MTR3 r11, r12, r13d, and r13e).

Second, memorex is NEVER good media IMHO.
Try Verbatim media, the DVD+R Double Layer is quite good.

[Frobozz]

I'm surprised you had any success burning to Memorex DL media. Only use Verbatim +R DL discs.

[lawnman]

I'm here. lol

Yes, go post at ripdifferent in the MTR forum and we will try to help you but like they both said use Verbatim +R DL's.

[lopaka1998]

Thanks everyone for replying. I really appreciate it. I will try Verbatim DVD+R DL's next time I buy a spindle (I have like 35 more of these memorex branded DVD+R DL's (try saying that 10 times fast!)).

I just put up a post over at ripdifferent under the general ripping category.

thanks,

I just put up a post over at ripdifferent under the general ripping category. Over at Ripping, you said you used r13c. I was wondering where you got it?

thanks,

I'm not really sure. I've had it for several months now. I probably got it from my uncle, but I am not 100% sure. Why do you ask?

[terryj]

probably because there is no r13c?
3.0 r13 only had two....
r13 d, r13 e.

Okay... Please see this image:

The reason I asked was because you just joined the ripdifferent forums Dec.1, 2006 and that beta as you can tell came out before you joined. You don't remember where you got it? I think we all know where you got it and it wasn't from donating.

Please do not attack me. I honestly don't recall for certain as it was some time ago. I have never been dishonest in any of my posts, and do not appreciate it when people make assumptions. ASSUME = make an ASS out of U and ME, after all!

I seriously had no idea about this software being illegitimate, until you posted your previous post. About a month ago I did discover ripdifferent.com, but could not log in until today (my account somehow got locked out - and I never did make my initial sign in until Today (December 30, 2006).

I did find out earlier today that the betas were being presented to those who donate (via another post on ripdifferent.com) - and I did contact the developer with a private message board message earlier today asking to donate. I am happy to donate to such a worthwhile project. No ill intentions were intended in any of my posts or actions.

I hope that you will think twice next time before making assumptions. I have no ill will toward you or anyone here and hope that you have a great New Year.

From what I just read, I don't think I assumed the wrong thing. But if you say so

[terryj]

not to add fuel to the fire, but:



as a long time donator/supporter/member of the swiss mafia,

above are all the legit versions of MTR I have still on my mac.
There were earlier ones, but no 13rc version released legitimately.

Sorry to contradict terry, but 13c was in fact released 31march 2006 but was quickly superseeded by 13d on 4 april 2006, so you may have missed it as it was only a 'flash in the pan!'
Not withstanding this, lopaka1988 seemed to get his copy in a suspect way, at least now though he may be going on board as a donator!
duncs

[terryj]

Duncs,
lawnman confirmed your statement,
13c was a "flash in the pan" release that was pulled
due to problems in the build.

And if lopaka has joined the swiss mafia, with the rest of us,
then, hey glad to have him aboard.

I will be soon. I just had one question for geezer. As soon as he replies, consider me a member

I don't know what's sadder - the MPAA bring digital technology to market - only to attempt to lock out our acceptable use rights (making the "cause" even more important) -- or George Lucas keeping the original trilogy from us...

[Case]

or George Lucas keeping the original trilogy from us...

Was the announcement just a rumor then?

[terryj]

umm, no.
here's what I bought with xmas cash:

Han Shot first, dammit!

[lopaka1998]

I bought all 3 of those DVD's - and they are not the originals. They are the last revision they made before making the "new"originals.

There is actually a different version (the true original), but it is hard to get a copy. There are a couple of LaserDisk versions of the original - and a few people have dedicated themselves to remastering it from a PAL version to NTSC, and getting the original soundtrack (i forgot where they got that) - and combining the two - to make an actual original movie dvd (DVD-5).

It's called Star Wars: A New Hope - Reinventing the Wheel (or SWANH_RTW for short). Hard to find - but there is a torrent floating around on demonoid. I recommend all obtain a copy while it's still on bittorrent - and yes, I do need more peers!

[thoughton]

This is such bull Lopaka1988 didn't get his copy in any sort of illicit way. because the software is NOT FOR SALE. If the software was actually for sale we as consumers would acquire all sorts of rights and warranties which GeezerButtz doesn't want to give us. He wants the money but isn't willing to take any responsibility as a manufacturer.

Geezerbuttz is still trying to dance around breaking US and European law with this fiction of 'donation-ware'. It's crapola and everybody knows it, but most people are willing to kiss his ass because he keeps threatening to stop development.

My 2c :P

No need to snipe at me sonny. If you enjoy being some sort of netcop and accusing people of wrong-doing with absolutely zero proof then go right ahead. Just don't be surprised if some people bite back.
