DVDDecrypter gets error on new movies

[tominator]

Hi
I encode movies for an online VOD-service. I get the movies on DVD and demux them to ac3 and m2v using DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0. I then mux them into WMV-streams.

My problem is that newer movies don't seem to want to be decrypted. See screenshot.

Funny thing is the DVDs don't seem to have any other copy protection system other than CSS/CPPM (Thats what DVDDecrypter detects it as anyway).

Could someone please help me get this working? Ive tried DVDFabdecrypter but I cant get it to demux the DVDs to AC3 and M2V-files. Decrypting to vob-files works good with DVDFabdecrypter though.

Perhaps you can take the VOB output from DVDFab, run it through VOB2MPG, which will give you M2V and AC3 in an .MPG container, which can then be demuxed using any standard demuxer. This will probably work best with DVDs that don't have any multiangle features, as I haven't tried VOB2MPG with such material. VOB2MPG will also extract each title separately within the vobset you feed it, if this is helpful.

Multiangled? Please explain.

Basically, "multiangle" support allows part (or I guess all, technically) of a title to contain multiple video tracks, which can then be switched between during playback. On commercial discs, this is sometimes used to show different camera angles of the same scene, hence the name (but I'm pretty sure it's also been used for other stuff - didn't the first Matrix film use it for part/all of the "hunt the white rabbit" egg?).

Another possibility is, he could just use ImgBurn to build an ISO with the VOB's from DVDFab Decrypter then mount the ISO with Daemon tools and then use DVD Decrypter on it like he always has.

Thanks. I tried it but ran in to a problem.

I tried two different movies with the same result. Making the mpg from the vobs with VOB2MPG was okay but during encode I got errors for both movies on 45% and 46%.

I think what happened was that the file made my encoding kernel to crash (I use procoder 2).

Any thoughts?

I tried that and I got the same problem. DVDDecrypter gets a read error even from the iso and I can't see why.

Using PgcDemux I get an output mpg that tells me its ~55 minutes when it actually contains the whole movie (I think cos the end credits are at the end)

Trying to encode this m2v-file gives me an output with no video.

Any thoughts of where I can have gone wrong?

I am a stupid stupid man. Your solution works very well. I don't know how I can be this much of an idiot but when I said it was not working I was not trying to rip the mounted iso-file - I simply forgot to change the source for DVDDecrypter and was still trying to rip the actual DVD.

But now it's working very well. Thank you!

Your welcome, I'm glad your back in business.
