DumpHD and GUI

[setarip_old]

Knowing nothing about Java, After I unzipped the "DumpHD.rar" file, I looked in the folder and could not find an .EXE file - and presumed there was no GUI.

I have since realized that, in fact, the included ".JAR" file is the GUI.

Thanks again ;>}

By the way, I could never get the batch file to work. I just double-click on the jar.

The JAR file is not only the GUI but the whole program. On double click it gets launched without parameters thats why the GUI shows up ;).

At least on windows the JavaVM comes in two flavors, the ClientVM and the ServerVM. When using the ServerVM DumpHD runs almost twice as fast and needs less CPU resources. By default the ClientVM is used, the batch file uses the ServerVM. For some unknown reason even the latest JRE does not include the ServerVM, only the JDK includes it. But even the JDK does not install it for the default java interpreter that gets used by windows (when double clicking the file) so you have to manually copy it from the JDK installation. But well, all this is mentioned in the included Readme file...

:rolleyes:

Just to let you know that "DumpHD 0.61" appears to have worked delightfully well with my HD-DVD version of "The Mummy" ;>}

BTW - Have I read correctly that, in addition to "conventional" BluRay discs, it's also capaable of properly ripping "BD+ Protected" discs, by simply including the files of "BDVMDBG 0.1.5"?

BD+ removal only works correctly on a handful of discs.

When using the ServerVM DumpHD runs almost twice as fast and needs less CPU resources.

Wow you are not kidding! I went from 32-bit Client VM to 64-bit Server VM and it rips 3 or 4 times as fast!
