Figured Out 'RATATOUILLE', menus and all

[theizzlesin2005]

This worked for me using the latest version of DVDFAB,DVDShrink and CloneDVD.

1. Rip movie to hard drive using DVDFAB
2. Open DVDshrink . Instead of clicking 'open disk', click 'open file'.
3. Open the dvdfab file that you saved to your hard drive
4. Click 'Backup' and make sure you DISABLE video preview
5. Save the new backup to your desktop under a NEW name
6. Open 'CloneDVD' and click 'Write Existing Data'.
7. Click the NEW file on your desktop.
8. Burn and Voila
9. Hope this helps to those who were stuck like me.

Any question, PM me

Video Preview in Shrink should have no influence on the success or otherwise of the process.

What does CloneDVD add to the proceeding if Shrink has already processed (successfully) the file ?

I suspect that more than anything it was a matter of waiting for a suitable version of DVDFab Decrypter to be released.

[theizzlesin2005]

clonedvd burns the copy to a dvd-r, not decrypts it...as for the preview..it makes the prgram overload due to bandwidth

[guns1inger]

Imgburn will burn it better (actually placing the files correctly), and is free.

it makes the prgram (sic) overload due to bandwidth

I tried using RipIt4Me and DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink and it did everything fine (including analysis) and was burning the disk. However, I woke up this morning and it said the DVD burning/write failed.

Not sure what I did wrong? RipIt4Me was 1.7.1.0 and DVD Shrink was like 3.2. Is there a certain setting or thing I'm supposed to change? I pretty much followed what RipIt4Me told me to do...


I think I have an old version of CloneDVD and DVD Decrypter is probably old too. I don't have DVDFab but if that's free I guess I could download it. Not sure what I did wrong above though I think I had the video preview disabled as well.

DVD Decrypter does not work on RATATOUILLE. It will attempt to rip the disc and then fail. DVDShrink has the same problem. AnyDVD will sucessfully rip the disc. Then use CloneDVD to burn.

Not sure if it was necessary but - used CloneDVD to create an ISO of the AnyDVD rip, the used CloneDVD to burn the ISO.

Using AnyDVD with DVD Decrypter does not work either. With AnyDVD running you will be able to rip with DVD Decrypter. However, when you go to burn the ISO (created with DVD Decrypter) with ImgBurn, ImgBurn will produce an error saying the layer break is missing. You can continue and burn the DVD. This was not tested since dual layer discs are pricey. Hence the AnyDVD to CloneDVD route.

Once a disc as been burned via AnyDVD to CloneDVD solution, DVD Decrypter can be used on that disc successfully.

but i just read in other posts and on other forums that AnyDVD didn't work. I have AnyDVD and CloneDVD I believe but they are probably older versions. I used RipIt4Me and it successfully ripped with Decrypter and Shrink and just had a writing problem. Maybe if I do the same thing but do just the main movie it would work?

I just want to do it the easiest way and it seems like people are all using several different programs all with different levels of success.

The forums I read said AnyDVD and CloneDVD work. You must be using the latest version. It worked for me.

[5.9LITRE]

is there somewhere to download those programs? my versions are probably a year old. or are they not freeware?

[RLT69]

You can download trial versions of the software from their site. I believe the trial period is 21 days.

Use the latest version of DVDFabDecrypter (free). RipIt4Me is no longer being updated.

A clean rip is only one problem with this title. Among other things it defaults to 2.0 audio. It can also take an eternity to load unless you bypass the forced previews. The menus are cloned so you have to blank the same unused buttons over and over again, then find the highlight commands which point to them and change the values

[ExpensiveWino]

I finally got it to work but the audio was to 2.0.
For what it's worth - I've had the best luck with DVDDecrypter up until Ratatouille .. hopefully that'll get updated.

(btw...this is my first post. This is a great forum!!)

[ntscuser]

I finally got it to work but the audio was to 2.0.

Provided you haven't deleted anything, you can visit the setup screen and and select 5.1 audio from there. I changed one of the pre-commands so that 5.1 audio is auto-highlighted instead of 2.0 but I don't remember which one it was? I think it was Line 4 in "VTSM 6, LU 1 (en) 24 0.36 7b" which now reads: "LinkCN Cell 1, button 1 (1024)".

That was one of the simpler jobs with this particular title. If for example you strip the 2.0 audio altogether in order to preserve picture quality there is a good chance the audio won't play at all. In my opinion none of the extras are worth preserving except the "Your Friend The Rat" featurette.

[Dv8ted2]

I had no trouble ripping with anydvd and dvdshrink.

[djelimon]

anydvd -> nero 6 -> dvd-9

no problemo

[bandit33usa]

I just got done copying it a little easier.

Used AnyDVD to rip it to my computer
Then used Shrink to work its magic(as usual)...done
Result - Perfect working copy

What media did you use? I'm up to about 9 coffee coasters using about 5 different program combinations, and I'm starting to think it might be my media (Memorex, TDK, FujiFilm & Verbatim all 4.7Gb DVD - R). Some of the burns will play on my computer, but don't play on my home DVD player which is a first. I'm currently trying AnyDVD RIP/ CloneDVD2 Write. Maybe this will work.

[samwise1]

Nevermind, got it to work with AnyDvd/Clone2DVD combo. Thanks for all the info.

[Almost Human]

RATATOUILLE will rip with Ripit4me1710/DVDDecryptor/DVDShrink in movie only mode.

You can offer help, but you can't make them listen.

[doctorm]

I can successfully rip this to my system fine, but DVD Shrink hates it without turning off the preview and DVD Rebuilder fails during the rebuild phase.

I've tried manually tweaking this in DVDRemake, but with little success.

Has anyone managed to build a full DVD re-encoded with DVD Rebuilder?


Even with the updated decrypters there's still something not quite right about these DVDs.

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

anydvd + clonedvd2

No probs!

[kato51]

DVDFabHDDecrypter->Shrink->Done. Everything works.

[doctorm]

Yeah yeah, it shrinks fine with the preview disabled, but they've intentionally corrupted the disc.
I'm curious if it can actually be fixed.

Anyone make a DVD5 with re-encoding software and not some Shrink type program?
