Could not find Blu-ray source _ prob with backupBluray

[totau]

hi everyone and thx for the work in here...

my first post to ask some help.... (sorry about that)

i made backup of my blurays (almost 10) but i've got a prob with my last one;

"Could not find Blu-ray source g:" !!

but :
1- i never had that error with any bluray before
2- i can play this one with no trouble
3- i cant "explore" the structure of my g: (its empty!!)

could some one give me some help on that?

thx in advance :)

Looking at the BackupBluRay source code, I see the following in BackupBluRay.java:

System.out.println("Testing source");
File source = new File(sourceName+File.separator+"BDMV");
if (!source.exists()){
System.out.println("Could not find Blu-ray source "+sourceName);
System.exit(0);
}
File keyFile = new File(sourceName+File.separator+"AACS"+File.separator+"CPSUnit00001.cci");
if (!keyFile.exists()){
System.out.println("Could not find keyFile "+keyFile.getAbsolutePath());
System.exit(0);
}


Thus the error is consistent with the disk not having a folder called "BDMV", for which BackupBluRay checks. It is trivial to fix once we know what folder the disk stores files in.


try new version of anydvd it ripp bluray too..

I believe that comments like this are really dangerous.

In my mind, AnyDVD HD is a crutch. It's nice, it works, but it's not free, and source code is not available. Thus it is not possible to fix if it breaks, while the moment something happens to slysoft, we are SOL.

I don't own a BluRay drive, but having more information about disk structures, I could extend BackupBluRay's support for structure changes like this. Or, just do a quick hack to get BaclupBluRay to check and decrypt video from a different folder on the BD disk. Oleg_jdev mentioned that he doesn't own a HD-DVD drive, but that doesn't stop him from developing BackupHD-DVD-GUI. Thus providing source code for the tools is essential for continuation of our right of use.

Call me an idealist, but we as a community should strive to provide functionality similar to AnyDVD if we want to excercise our right to watch content we paid for (I bought 11 HD-DVD movies so far), how we want and where we want.

I've not looked at BluRay spec at all (Nor realistically can I, since I don't have a BluRay drive), however on the HD-DVD side, there have been a few titles ("Discovery Atlas Australia", "Discovery Atlas Italy", potentially "Chronicles of Riddick") that changed the disk structure a little bit, remaining valid, yet fouling hardcoded checks in BackupHDDVD. Thus is is possible that similar, still correct according to spec, changes started happening on BluRay side of things as well.

What title is this, totau? Could you post the output of "dir /S G:" (or whatever's the correct command to generate a recursive directory listing in Windows)?

i'm not so good in tech as you guys, if you could guide me on this (success to make the dir list) , and if its help, i ll do...

anydvd is not free and your perfectly right in your speech :

i found something, i dont know if its help:

i made the backup with anydvd on this title, and now i've got the BDMV structure; but the files in playlist are .mpls and not .m2ts like usually... (with backupbluray and in a BDMV original structure, its .m2ts)

ps: the backup works perfectly, so my original bluray is good; a new protection on this one ??

[totau]

but the files in playlist are .mpls and not .m2ts

oups wrong dir, sorry, ive got .m2ts in STREAM dir of course, sorry, i found nothing so ^^

Do you not know how? Does it give an error message or crash?

[totau]

Hi, totau.

Is G: the drive letter for the Blu-Ray drive that you have? Are you running Windows XP or Windows Vista? Do you have the UDF 2.5 driver installed?

Could if be that you are giving the wrong drive letter to BackupBluRay, and then it can't find the disk?

yes, g: is the drive letter, the good one...
i'm running XP with udf 2.5 installed ...

like i said, i never had this trouble for my other backup (always on g:)

thx for trying help me

I'll try one more thing.

If you click on "My Computer", and doubleclick on G: drive, do you see a listing of directories, or is the disk inaccessible? If you do get a listing of directories, is there a directory called BDMV there, and there a directory called AACS there? Is there a file called CPSUnit00001.cci (or similar) in AACS directory?

I don't believe you mentioned what Blu-Ray title you are trying to backup. Which disk is it, and is it a US, JP or European version?

The spec for Blu-Ray (and HD-DVD As far as I know) specifies that one can use UDF 2.5 or UDF 2.6, and Windows XP driver is UDF 2.5 only. It's possible that you are attempting to use a newer disk, for which AnyDVD provides a UDF driver.
