I recently received some new discs, they have no scratches on them whatsoever, and play back well in my players. However i cannot rip them for anything! These are cheap chinese R1 discs by the way, and there appears to be no encryption on them at all.
Anyone know a good program for extracting data off sturborn discs? Help please!

	I'm actually trying that right now. So far DVDshrink, smartripper, DVDdecryptor, and just ol'right-click & copy have failed.Originally Posted by MOVIEGEEK
 
 How can i be able to play back these discs well yet cannot extract them?! It makes no sense.

	I have a lot of those kind of discs. Never had any problem just file-copying them. As you said, they're unencrypted. 
 
 I use a DOS copy. Windows may try to do something clever and screw it up.
 
 If the disc appears to be damaged, try ISOPuzzle, then mount the ISO it makes with Daemon Tools.

	Does not matter if they are unencrypted, if they're cheap, taiwan bootleg trash that can't be read properly most of the time!Originally Posted by AlanHK  
 
 And WOW DVDFab Decryptor got it! Keep in mind this was after the program completely froze around the same area the others did, and did not move for about 12 minutes straight. I came so close to ejecting the disc and giving up, but then it started slowly moving again. Whoa!

	I don't know about Taiwan. I'm talking about China mainland. Note that I live in Hong Kong. Actually, about the only way to tell that you have a bootleg and not the real item with many Chinese DVDs is the lack of encryption. The packaging and quality of many bootlegs is as good, or better, than the legit ones. (Though both can be full of typos.)Originally Posted by [url=https://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER_1
 
 Also depends on the brand of the player. Japanese ones, like Sony especially, often are very picky about what they'll read.
 
 I buy a lot of second hand discs, so I get imports, local licenced and bootlegs.
 
 A couple of weeks ago I bought 8 used discs, just in plastic bags, at about 60 cents each. I gave them a wash, 6 of them played fine. One looks okay but doesn't play. One was a bit scratched, didn't play in my DVD player, but I was able to back it up with Isopuzzle, as I mentioned, and reauthor it. Not a bad average.

	Most likely they have alot of errors or invalid navigation.Most DVD players are able to read bad DVD's while PC drives won't*,DVDFab emulates DVD players.Originally Posted by [url=https://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER_1
 
 *the reason is PC drives read data sector by sector and use error correction.

	If you can find it: ripit4me 
 
 I'm not certain what was done to that particular program, but I did have luck - specifically with a Chinese disc that nothing would touch, and it was not encrypted - was only crap disc.;/ l ,[____], Its a Jeep thing,
