Physical Problem During the Ripping Process: any solution ?

[johner26]

Hi...

I have a dvd that I really want to rip to create a personal back up. But I got some problem during the ripping process.

When the process reach about 35% of ripping process, it stops and stay frozen at this rate. The Dvd Decrypter doesn't go more than this....

Retry, retry and retry again....

Maybe the problem is from the dvd media. A physical problem, I mean.

There is a way to " separate " these wrong sectors?

Sometimes, I have success using CloneCd to back up some normal cd's, besides they have some physical errors on their surface.

Can I do the same with dvd's?

Maybe using a Daemon-Tools or similar programs, it's is possible to "ignore" the wrong sectors and create an iso file ( for example ) and now, using this single file, I would try to ripping again from my HD, instead of my dvd drive?

Sorry my very, very poor English, ok?


Thanks for helping.

When you say 'retry retry retry', is that you clicking 'Retry' or just the 'Read Error' retries counter counting up?

The program will skip errors if your drive can. If the drive hangs, the program hangs - which is what you're getting here.

Thanks for help me, LIGHTNING UK! :)

Well, as I said, the dvd probably has a physical problem, because when I try to decrypt it with your program, does it works only at 35% of the dvd.

After this rate, the DVDDecrypter make this operation, as you question me : " Read Error retries counter counting up", many times.

I could count 15 times that the program try to read and the counter will going to continue, if I didn't stop the process.

Interesting fact is that the dvd doesn't have any visible lines on the surface... And I can watch this dvd normally using Power DVD or my dvd stand alone, with my television.

In this situation, I could watch the whole dvd without any imperfection of the images...

But, when I try to copy or decrypt the files to my HD, it happens what I told you before. I try using Vobsplit, Vstrip and others ripping tools without any success... The copying process ( or decrypting process ) stopped during the way, sadly.


It's funny, because I try to open the dvd using dvd2avi directly from my drive, and the videos were openned very well, showing all the movies, without any problem, too.

What should I do ?

I must try to copy these dvd using CloneCd to my HD, in a ISO format?

Sometimes, CloneCd can copy until very bad cd's... If does i work using dvd, I do not know...

I wanna try Winiso and Daemon-Tools too, but I decide to hear your opinion about that questions and get some explanations.

I know that I can encode these dvd direct from the drive ( in last case, because it will be harmfull to my HD runnn for more than 10 hours of encoding ), but I would wanna try to authoring a new dvd,in a new dvd media, if it is possible, because the original media is not very good, I think.

Again, I must to say thank you for you help and to all the people that could find an solution for these problem.

Best Reguards ! :)
