Hello, everyone,
DVD Decrypter warning: pack header not found, what is it?
Did i do something wrong?

It means the program found an empty sector (or at least one that doesnt start with 00 00 01 BA - the 'pack header') within a VOB file.

Greetings,
I have gotten the same pack header not found message, and the exact same dvd was ripped perfectly on my other computer.
What exactly do you need to do to remove this error.

Q1: Is it a configuration problem ?

I have been having an incredibly hard time getting the movie ripped to hd to play, and then getting the movie to play.

Q2: What are the requirements?
Ex.
Windows 98/se/me/2000/xp
region free drive
dvd decrypter
aspi layer
(Can directx be causing any problems?)
region killer
power dvd 3
or power dvd 4



I am getting errors with cyberlinks power dvd 4, however, power dvd 3 works fine on my one computer.
On the other computer, neither 3 or 4 will play the movie.
And I did get the movie ripped once, and it started to play, so I tried it again, and it couldnt rip or play the movie.

Q3: Could nvidia nforce 2 chipset or nvidia fx5200 video card drivers be causing any trouble?

Keep in mind this is a new computer that I have not installed any garbage-ware(a.k.a. microsludge) on yet.....

Thank you in advance for any response to this thread...

hello, i guess it was the problem of the DVD-rom Driver, but i am not sure.
one dvd can be decrypted fine on my portable pc, and it will be reported pack head error on my desktop pc.

I have got the point.
I refresh the firmware of my Sony DDU1621 from S4.0 to S3.3, and the problem never come up again.

The only drive I've seen to always cause this problem is the Pioneer 120S.

Is the Sony based on that do you know?

Anyway, glad you've sorted it. My program can only go by the information the drive returns. If it's not reliable, there is little I can do about it! (Informing the user of potential problems is one of the main reasons I actually made the program output that pack header warning in the first place.)

I'm guessing this is an issue with the image making software. I have a couple of DVDs that there made by an unknown app, which always give the "Pack Header Not Found" error when choosing ISO Read mode. This is with Lite-On 166, Lite-On 165, Pioneer 116, Panasonic LF-D311, and Toshiba SD-R5112.

Changing to File Read Mode, results in 0 errors.
