Help - I Dumped Wall-E Using My Wii

[jeichanthedvdhero]

Hi,

I used CleanRip to dump Wall-E using my Wii. It all went well until I played it back with VLC. The whole thing was mangled and pretty much unplayable.

Does anyone know what's going on?

I was gonna rip Monsters University next, but it probably will be the same issue

Monsters will be hard

I found no posts at VideoHelp with advice about "dumping" DVD movies using a Wii. Also, CleanRip is described as a program designed for copying games, not copying DVD movies. Wii game DVDs and ordinary movie DVDs almost certainly use different forms of copy protection. That may be why the copy is unplayable.

If you can use a computer for this project instead of a Wii, you will get a lot of good advice from VideoHelp members. There is also plenty of information already posted at VideoHelp about copying movie DVDs using a computer equipped with an optical drive that can read DVDs, plus DVD ripping software compatible with the computer. (The recommended ripping software is normally free or low-cost.)

I used this version of the CleanRip app http://github.com/spycrab/cleanrip/releases/latest/

It does output DVD data, my Wii is one of the ones which has a DVD compatible drive

My friend was telling me computer based DVD software gets tripped up with bad sectors, this version skips bad sectors to dump unlicensed discs that have them

Unfortunately, I am unable to help you with ripping unlicensed/bootleg DVDs that employ bad sector copy protection using either a Wii or a PC.

For one thing, I have never owned a Wii. ...and although some DVD ripping software for computers will periodically download updates for commercial DVD releases that employ a new and unusual type of copy protection, they only cover official DVD releases.

Encryption is the most common form of copy protection used on DVDs.

It looks like CleanRip can copy the contents of a DVD but is unable to decrypt it. ...So, a newer DVD decryption program that is regularly updated had to be used on the DVD "dump" from CleanRip to obtain a playable result.

my friend says it uses something known as xprotect

My search engine tells me that "XProtect" is either Apple's built-in security software for macOS or Milestone Systems' video management software for security and surveillance systems.

Perhaps your friend meant Disney X-project? This isn't a form of encryption. Instead, it confuses ripping software by creating a large number of dummy titles.

whatever it is makes your computer think the disc is way bigger than the capable size the dvd able to use

There was a form of copy protection referred to as X-Protect on DVD releases. Lions Gate made use of it. I don't recall if that was the official name of the protection but that's what people called it. It played with the file system and showed invalid file sizes among other things. It caused issues with copying discs. It also, sometimes, caused playback issues in hardware players. Blade: House of Chthon made use of the protection.

Edit: It was discussed a lot over at doom9 when it became the new thing in copy protections.

I just searched doom9 for "X-Protect" but didn't find any answers. I'm not a regular visitor there, let alone a member, so I'll have to take your word for it.

Wall-E is a Disney-Pixar release, so it seems likely that the DVD would have used their favored DRM scheme.

Here's one discussion: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125502

Another Wall-E specific discussion: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1214528

A user stated Disney was using X-Protect or a similar protection on Wall-E.
