Errors in DVDx 2.0

[lnetzel]

I ripped some extra material a few days ago with SmartRipper and it worked fine... Now suddenly I tried Ripping another DVD (same region) and I could'nt open the IFO well

I tried ripping the DVD with both DVD Decrypter and SmartRipper and I also tried opening the IFO directly from the DVD-ROM and I get these two messages every time. I can open the IFO and get the Inuputsettings window and then after that when I want to proceed to the output settings this happens:

1. Something about that the drive is not locked and that it can't be authenticated by auth.dll

I guess this does'nt really matter. I have gone pass this before and worked fine anyway, and someone said it's bacuse I have'nt played the DVD in a softwareplayer first.. so...

2. THIS is the problem. Efter I close the first message, this turns up right away "MPEG2Dec: Could'nt initiate mpeg-2 codec" and then nothing happens.. nothin opens. I can't open the output window manually either, then it tells me to open an IFO or MPEG.

I have no idea what to do... I can watch both DVD's and MPEG-2 files in PowerDVD and some also directly with Windows Media Player so I'm sure I have the mpeg-2 codec installed.

What Should I do? It worked fine a few days ago.

WUT???

So we are the only ones with this problem and noeone knows WHY.. hard to believe... there must be a way o ffixing this... I mean it worked a few days before.

Do you mean you can't encode anything at all wanymore with DVDx?

I tried with FlaskMPEG and that worked fine so this must be a DVDx problem not acodec problem at al... maybe a Bug bug w2k?

Have you tried earlier versions?

[belo]

yes a have try another version but still the same problem
error mpeg2decc
its not with al the dvd's that you get this error... if you try another dvd to encode.. dvdx works fine..


look at search author and type my name you will see the same
problem and an answer

auth.dll? Sounds familiar... You haven't installed WMP 9 beta recently?

Aha... that would explain why the other DVD the other day was okay..

Does DVDs have different Mpeg-2 encodings? Is there several versions of Mpeg-2?

Could this maybe be a Enhances REgion Protection Problem? So it actually has to do with the firmware in the DVD-ROM.. I mean... if I upgrade my DVD to a RPC-1 firmware that does'tn give a crap about Enhanced Protection.. mayeb It'll work then?

sorry but i dont know who is responsible for the error
what i do know is that i cannot encode some of the dvd
with dvdx
maybe that it will work with the plugin cce
but cce is an trial version grrrrrrrr

i'm still searching fore an answer on this one
