Smart Ripper Using WinIO, not Aspi to read files off DVD

[srmc00]

I have been trying for the last few days to rip a DVD onto my harddrive. I have had success in the past, using my friends computer/dvd drive, but since I have installed a pioneer dvd-116 onto windows xp, i have had some trouble. Everytime I try to rip a DVD with Smartripper, it keeps saying the following.

Aspi- Adapter Available
try to unlock drive
Read DVD Structure
Switch To WinIO

And then from then on, it reads all of the files on the DVD by WinIO and not Apsi, as I know it should. When I try to rip the DVD once it found them with WinIO, it always locks up. So I tried using DVD Decrypter and I get an error saying something about aspi. So I know its an aspi problem. I dled Forced Aspi 1.7 and cleared my aspi out of my harddrive, reloaded it and tried it again. SAME THING!!! I know that on my friends, when he uses Smart Ripper, it reads the files with WinIO & Apsi and he can rip everything fine. So that is my problem.

If you don't understand what I am trying to say, I have included a jpg file of smart ripper to show you what I am getting. Hopefully this can be fixed as I want to rip DVD's.

actually.. as long as it rips properly there's nothing to worry about. In fact.. WinIO should be faster most of the time ans ASPI is only needed for the imfamous 1.00GB VOBs (not many titles containing such VOBs around).

but now.. your problem.. I would assume that dvd decrypter gives you an error message which you must post. Furthermore.. the guides link to a page about ripping problem where you can find a tool to check your aspi layer. Run it.. and report back if you really have a working aspi layer installed.

Ok first off, I want to report I sort of got around to ripping my DVD's. Like I said before, I couldn't get Smartripper to work properly as it kept hanging when it was ripping, so I decided to move onto DVD Decrypter. Again I stated that I had an error, which is below, however I wanted to try something different. You see, when my friend got his smartripper working, it would have a check by the aspi box, and it would also report broken errors (I think thats right - I mean the red area that smartripper reports back to you). So I figured that I would manually tell DVD Decrypter to skip the errors it was reporting. It turns out, that after I hit ignore on the errors 5 times, it asked if I wanted to ignore the rest of the errors, in which I chose yes to. So then it kept ripping the vob file, and it would come out to around 40 errors FOR EACH vob file. But I did manage to get all the vob files onto my harddrive (which is what I wanted). However, I am still puzzled about the errors, I even tried DOD Speed Ripper, and that gave me an error which included something about aspi (If you want that error too, just ask). So here is my error to DVD Decrypter which you asked for. Hopefully something will stick out even though all I can see is its reporting back a string of hex codes.

There is the complete error. The only Thing that I can think of is that I have a DMA error, but I'm not sure. I did run aspichk.exe and it reported that I have a working aspi later (4.60). It showed 4 files, and it said that I have 2 decoders present. Is that what you wanted me to do?
