I just have an intellectual curiosity as to what the glitch in this dvd structure is and whether freeware tools could fix it. So I could make a sinlgle layer DVD copy if I wanted, but I can't use freeware dvdshrink. Now it worked with no problem, but still got stuck at DVDShrink which said that it gave it an abnormal runtime termination.

Just for curiosity's sake, I mounted it as an ISO with daemon tools, pretended it was real dvd, ran it through a ripping sequence ( ripit4me, pcgedit etc.). This plays perfectly eg in wmp or mplayer classic HD.

After resorting to payware, I got myself a working 4.3GB sized DVD structure on my PC using Clonedvd. With Cars 2, I eventually got something which opened in both pcgedit and vobblanker. Also, I came across this thread by a google query - other windows users may do the same and be interested in my experiences.

The issue does seem to transcend operating system - mac and windows users alike get stuck. Indeed you're right, original query is from a mac user, though as you say, wine could take them into a windows environment. Well done Disney - you finally made it hard! Cars 2 I had similar problems with and was unable to overcome them. Solution - a mockstrip with IfoEdit sorts out the PCGEdit crashing VTS's and the VobBlanker crashing VTS can be removed with PCGEdit. Pirates of the Caribbean 4 has VTS's which crash both PCGEdit and VobBlanker. HOWEVER, just recently I have had a couple of discs which are more tricky. So for years, I've never needed to go beyond the freeware solutions to make backups of my legally acquired Disney DVDs to watch on my PC. You can blank all these in VobBlanker and end up with a normal sized DVD. In trace mode, you will be able to see which is the real DVD and which are the bogus VTS's. Then load your 50GB ripped DVD into PCGEdit. Skip the next cleanup step but do do the cleanup VOBs step. When it pauses, copy the other files into the working directory so RipIt4Me will think it has ripped the whole 50GB disc. Then run RipIt4Me again, selecting only a few files to decrypt. Make multiple copies and rename them VTS6, VTS7 etc. You can use Ripit4me - just decrypt one set of the large VOBs, then abort. You could run through the disc with DVDDecrypter, aborting each file, noting the sector numbers and you will see that the sector numbers repeat. On the Diosney bogus big discs, the VTS's just repeat. I use RipIt4Me (using DVDDecrypter) to rip, PCGEdit to remove trailers etc, followed by VobBlanker, then DVDShrink. So, I'd prefer answers be PMed to me instead.

Still, I can totally see how posting this in the open would be bad, especially if people with ill intentions found this thread and used whatever help I might receive for their own inappropriate gain. This is only for making a copy for my own personal use. That is something I'm totally opposed to.

How to I take advantage of this option and beat the protection to make a copy of my movie?įirst, let me note I am absolutely not attempting to copy to sell illegally. There are a couple very small files early in the list, and I believe the rest is about 10 items all at exactly 3.81 GB each. On the disc I tried to copy, the top and bottom items are supposedly over 4000 GB each. It recommends I use the option 'rip and rebuild', but the title list doesn't make sense to me. I have MacTheRipper and it even says the disc is oversized when it tries to scan it. *** There are numerous good posts in this forum on this topic, search for 'DVD backup', 'DVD Copy', 'makemkv', etc.A lot of newer DVD releases, particularly Disney, have some very difficult copy protection on them, which makes the DVD appear way oversized.

And, creating a digital copy of your movie videos would allow you to use your own multimedia server to play multiple movie videos.įYI: A lot of newer movie DVD's and Blu-Ray discs already have a built-in feature when played in a computer to create a digital copy, computer movie video file, look in their menus. I do not see why backing up your videos that you purchased would be morally or ethically wrong, or illegal. You can select copy DVD and check 'to file only' in the options to create an iso image of the disc which can also be played using various multi-media player applications, like VLC, SMplayer, Kaffeine, etc.Īnd everyone knows that you should not make copies of commercial movie DVD's unless they are for yourself only (no sharing), and even then, apparently some countries are claiming that is illegal. I would also recommend going into the 'Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)', searching for 'K3b' and installing all recommended and suggested packages. +1 for 'K3b' DVD/CD application and member 'jimallyn' comments regarding it. If you have not installed 'ubuntu-restricted-extras', I would recommend doing that. I just read your post and the good replies to it.
