DVD Decrypter: Failure Parsing IFO...

[aaron10]

Hello All -- Lighning (thanks for the great program)...

This is an odd problem that started occurring recently. I'm using DVD decrypter 3.5.1.0 on a Windows XP Pro box. This problem seems to occur with only the newest DVD's I purchase. By the way, my DVD drive is actually a DRX-500ULX (with lastest firmware). Since it uses the same firmware as the DRU-500A, DVD Decrypter sees it as that.

Anyway, when Decrypter starts parsing the DVD, it stalls while processing one or more IFO's. These are brand new out of the package DVDs. For example, I just went through this with Open Water, I'm not Scared and Employee of the Month (all Region 1). After the error, the drive will successfully copy all the VOBs without a hitch and writes a DVD Shrink Re-authored DVD without a problem. (I usually do movie only because I can't get the original IFOs off the DVD.) Now, mind you, I can put in 10 older DVDs after this error and nary a one will have any problem parsing the IFO's.

Any thoughts...

The log doesn't show the error. I press cancel when it gives the above mentioned error message on the problem IFO's and then it is on its merry way ripping the VOBs. Here is the log (I stopped during the processing of the first VOB so you could see the log. There was a parsing error with 2 of the IFOs during this operation...

The problem here is that your drive cant read the disc properly.

IFO Parsing is 'failing' because the drive is unable to read bits of the IFO files and 'IFO Parsing' is the function being performed by the program at that time.

Nothing I can do about it, sorry.

[aaron10]

Why, though, does it only occur with newer DVD's? I never had this happen for more than a year with fairly heavy copying. Now, it happens with quite a few newer DVDs -- but still not with the older ones. What's different about these Disks (IFO's) that creates the inability to parse? It just seems so odd. And it does everything else correctly, reading the VOB's and writing the DVD's...

Thanks...

Well the first thing I'd say is to try another drive. Borrow your mates or something, see if it does the same thing.

Nobody else has this problem - or at least reported it - I certainly dont have it myself, which leads me to believe its something in your PC.

The failure to parse them is not in the parsing itself, but in that they clearly have to be read off the disc before they CAN be parsed! It's the reading of the files that's failing.

If you hit retry, do these read errors go away (or at least change)?

Ripping will automatically retry 20 times before prompting the user, these early initialisation stages WILL NOT retry at all.

I've have the same error. It occured on two drives I own, in two
different computers, a recent NEC and an older Pioneer 104. The DVD is fairly new, Zombi 2 Sherk Show's release. The DVD plays fine but one VOB gives me an error 78% through.

Ignoring and retrying do nothing.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Ignore does do something, it moves onto the next sector.

If your drives cant read the files, the disc is probably scratched / dirty / faulty.

Nothing I can do about it, sorry.

[Backwoods]

I didn't mean it does nothing all around, I just meant in this case. The disc is very clean and scratch free...I guess faulty then. It plays through fine though.

[squinty]

Try the newest version of Dvddecrypter ;)

You're using 3.5.1.0

[Backwoods]

No I'm not.

[squinty]

I 08:40:55 DVD Decrypter Version 3.5.1.0 started!

Sorry, just assumed you haven't upgraded it, because the old version was listed in the log.

The optics may be going bad in your drive, like he said. I had similar errors with my old Toshiba drive, whether it was an incompatability to newer DVD's or the optics were just starting to wear out, I never new. I just replaced it.

[Backwoods]

Ah sorry about that, but yea the latest version was installed.

Also, the drive is brand new and the sane error happened on another older drive and now my friend's computer too. Has to be the disc...but it plays fine no hiccups. Smartripper hangs on the same spot also. Oh well.

I am having the same problems. I posted this in another part of the forum and was told Sony has started using a new copyguard. I was told to download a program called DVD43 which I have done but still no luck, maybe I am using it wrong. I will keep trying and if I can figure it out I will post.:confused: :confused:

[angbunso]

I have the same problem too, but my case may be a bit different. I'm actually trying to make a DivX backup of one of my DVD backups. The DVD-R is scratch free, and it plays completely without any problems. any suggestions?
