[frnchy]

I was just wondering if anyone had a PSL2 file for Munich.

Hi!

The Region 1 version of "Munich" doesn't require a PSL2 file or anything special for ripping, as it doesn't contain either "ARccOS" or "RipGuard" copy protection.

I'm sorry but i seem to have some other problem with movie than. Because when i try to back it up it stops at 48% and says there is an error in VTS01_4. So is there anyone that can help me.

Could you post the logs or maybe be more descriptive of the error it gives you? You're information is a bit too vague to narrow down the problem.

an error in VTS01_4Try cleaning the DVD. If the problem persists, the DVD is likely physically damaged and should be returned to the place of purchase in exchange for a new replacement...

Another little trick you can try is ripping the disk with another DVD ROM if one's availible on your system. My machines each have two: the burner, and the regular 'ol bones ROM variety. Usually, I'll use the ROM to rip since it's faster... but I can usually manage to pick up stubborn disks by ripping with the burner if good old disk cleaning doesn't take care of it.

Over time, dust can settle on your drive's laser lens, too. Good idea to get one of those bottles of compressed air, and use the nozzle to shoot it out once in a while. I haven't had very good luck with those factory DVD drive cleaning kits... but the compressed air trick seems to help.

Good tips! :goodpost: Just where is the lens area in a typical DVD-ROM/burner? Any thing fragile inside that I should watch out for? :thanks:

Possibly the easiest is buy a lens cleaning kit.

Hi!

I've personally had great success over many years using a DVD/CD lens cleaning disc. Maxell makes one that sells for approximately $10US...

I haven't noticed anything that can be hurt by the compressed-air treatment. There is a gear that's visible on some drives' sliding tray -- this is the gear that allows the bay to open or close for feeding/ejecting disks -- and that's always had very decent anchorage in any of the drives I've noticed it in. But the air stream is usually so unfocused once it enters the playback chamber that all it can really do is blow the dust around and break up areas where it's settled and collected. If you were to physically tear the drive out of the machine and unscrew the housing, then... yeah, you might be able to do some damage by directing streams of air straight into something you shouldn't; of course if you wanted to do something like this, all you'd need to clean the lens would be a cotton swab and a bit of rubbing alcohol (then run the risk of knocking the lens off alignment by pushing too hard on the swab). That's all ovekill, however! :p

The lens itself in the newest burners rarely presents itself into view; all you see is the feeding tray that you load the disk on. This tray -- which has those hollowed-out areas in the bottom of it -- then loads your disk directly over the lens, which is situated within the drive itself and looking up at the playback surface of the disk. Opening the tray, however, allows there to be an opening big enough to blast the air into the playing chamber and stir things up in there. A little goes a heckuva long way here; if you've never done it, don't be amazed by the cloud of dust that comes billowing out of there when you first do it. While you're at it, popping open your computer case and hosing off your components is a good idea, too -- especially around the CPU heatsink and fan, which can clog with dust and allow the CPU to heat up more than it needs to. (Dust can clog up chipset fans and keep them from working right, too. Same thing with the cooling fans in your case and power supply.) Then all you have to do is dust your desk area and you've got yourself a well-cleaned machine for awhile!

I'm a firm believer that either having an air compressor handy or one of those bottled air containers is the single best computer maintenance object you can have. It'll solve just as many problems as it prevents down the line.

Thanks everyone for your advices, and writersblock29 for the detailed explanation of the compressed-air treatment. I've been using the Maxell lens cleaner, but there is this one DVD-ROM player that may need something extra :).

You're very welcome! Hope it all works out for you.
