What's up with movie Hairspray?

bobcat293 · 25th November 2007, 19:45

Hi, I'm new and would like to ask a question. I have DVD Decrypter and when I put the movie Hairspray in to decrypt it, it won't even load. The message: Interface Thread Runtime Exception. Comes up? I have never seen this before.

Hi!

The Region 1 "Hairspray" DVD contains a copy protection scheme that cannot be processed by DVD Decrypter.

Instead, you can use (freeware) DVDFabHDDecrypter v.4.010 or newer...

Thanks a lot. I'll see if i can find the DVDFabHDDecrypter program.

I rented this movie. This morning I came home from work and decided to watch it. I popped it into my cheapo TV/DVD combo and this is what I got...

The files on the right are pics of a logo, which incidentally I can rotate using the arrow buttons on my remote. Ooo, Fun!

When I selected the red arrow at the bottom of the screen I got...

When I chose the Video_TS file on the right, it played the FBI Warning and another screen (which I couldn't read) really, really fast.

If I chose the first VTS I got jerky sound and nor picture.
The next VTS gave me a black screen and no sound.
The third played the main movie but didn't start from the beginning and the pic and sound were blocky and jerky.

The disk is a DVD-rom. My little TV/DVD combo is pretty finicky about what it plays, but it's played other DVD-roms just fine.

BTW, the disk plays just fine in my sister's Apex and the JVC in the living room.

Weird,no?

1) Not at all weird - since you state that your player is "finicky" and this is a heavily protected DVD

2) Apex players will play just about anything...

Apparently I don't understand how to get pics in my posts properly.

What I meant when I said my player was finicky is
A: It doesn't recognize there is a disc at all or
B: I get really jerky playback on a disc that plays just fine elsewhere.

This is the first time I've ever gotten a Video_TS menu showing up on screen (which is what the pic shows).

Its NOT the main movie menu. It looks like what you get when you put a DVD in your computer and open it to look at the files stored on it. This is what I meant by 'weird'.

Now that your screengrabs are viewable, it appears that your player (likely due to the nature of this particular type of copy protection) interpreted the disc as something other than a DVD - Perhaps a VCD or, if it has such capability, a disc with multiple DivX-compressed .AVIs.

Regardless of the specific interpretation, it's clear that your particular player can't cope with the excessive copy protection applied to "Hairspray" and likely, other newly released "New Line Home Entertainment"/"New Line Cinema" DVDs.

If I were you, I'd bring it back to the video rental shop and raise a little Hell about a DVD that won't play...

Hey! My pics finally showed up!

I knew this was weird. I will talk to the guys at the video rental place, they're pretty nice about this kind of thing.

Oh well, at least I can still watch it in the other room.
