You know, Casino Royal needs some special decrypting?
Other files work well on your side?
A little more info on your workflow might help.

I get the same problem. It just stops, and literally, nothing else happens. I'm not completely sure what other information you need, but if you do need any more, i can give it. My problem log looks almost the same as above, except my data is stored on an external drive, and I'm ripping part of a movie into a 700MB file (not 100% quality). Thanks in advance for any help.

Casino Royal needs some special decrypting!

What special decrypting, if you wouldn't mind saying!

Thanks

It needs to be ripped with something that can both remove extra protection and the extra cells that interfere with playback and audio synch before encoding with AutoGK.

Use Doom9's search: Casino Royal.
There are many who have posted a workaround...

Well, I used the search but couldn't find anything useful regarding Casino Royal. I've used vStrip GUI to fix the audio delay but a subtitle delay remains. Next thing to try is PgcDemux and DVD Shrink.

Thx, thought it was called Royal instead Royale, that's why the search didn't find this thread.

It does not help with the real issues (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1154592#post1154592) though.

For type of copy protection used for the R1 version, you should be able to readily, properly and successfully, "rip" Casino Royale to your hard drive and compress with DVD Shrink from within RipIt4me - or compress with another program that you favor.

If not, I's suggest you return the DVD to the place of purchase in exchange for a new replacement DVD...

This is not a problem that is confined to casino royale. It's happened many times for me on different discs and I can't work out any similarities between cases.

My system: Core 2 Quad Q6600, 4GB RAM, nv 8800GT GPU, 500GB HDD, Windows Vista home premium 64bit.

Ripper: DVD Decrypter
Encoding: Xvid, MP3 VBR 128k, desired size: 700MB

Most of the time, AutoGK will work fine, and if it successfully completes once, it will usually continue for all subsequent encodes while the program is still running.

Sometimes, however the encoding stops during the demuxing and indexing stage as described above (a process that should only take 1-2 minutes on my system). CPU usage drops back down to idle, but system performance soon starts to degrade until the encode is aborted. Music running in the background will start skipping, web browsers become unresponsive, eventually the entire system is brought to it's knees unless you click autoGK's "abort" button in time.

The funny thing is, encodes that have failed in this way (sometimes) subsequently work after a re-ripping of the DVD, and sometimes even this is not required. While autoGK has failed many times for me, I have always got the files to encode properly in the end. However, this bug means I can't just leave the machine doing a batch job unsupervised.

Below is a screengrab showing a stalled Donnie Darko encode, if you look on the third core, you can see the indexing and demuxing start using the CPU, then quickly drop off.

I have the same problem with every disk I use. Help!

1.: DVDDecrypter is somewhat outdated on recent DVD Releases. As a combi use it with RipIt4me, like setarip_old told you.
Or use a newer ripper :p
2.: Make sure your DGIndex.exe and DGDecode.dll from the AutoGk\DGMPGDec Folder matches the DGDecode.dll from your Avisynth 2.5\plugins.
Disable (rename) the one from your Avisynth installation for testing.

[ash1234]

Or use a newer ripper :p

What do you recommend?

[Sharktooth]

DVDFab (HD) Decrypter or AnyDVD.

[King Dumpalot]

Heh, just coming here to post that I've been using DVD Fab HD and not getting the problem anymore. Cheers chaps :)
