When A Stranger Calls - Illegal Video GOP size

[hallway]

I'm trying to run DVD-RB Pro on When A Stranger Calls, Region 1 and I get an error dialog stating this:

Error: Illegal video GOP size. Possible encrypted source. Aborting.

I wasn't able to decrypt this DVD with DVD Decrypter, even with AnyDVD running in the background. The latest version of DVD Fab Decrypter took care of it though. I created an ISO image from the folders, mounted that image with Virtual Daemon, and tried DVD-RB.

The last ver of AnyDVD 5.9.6.1 will go thru that with no pb's... and DVDFab Decrypter 2.9.7.7 will do the same.

Try not making an ISO and just point to the files with DVD-RB...should be no pb's

That means that the input MPEG stream is very definitely trashed. DVD standards say that a GOP can never contain more than 18 pictures -- that error only happens when DVD-RB has found more than 50 pictures in a GOP -- which implies it is reading garbage.

This is the junk in VTS_22 I woud guess. If you have used DVD Decrypter/plugin, before using DVD Rebuilder (http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/), delete the VTS. PgcEdit (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html) does this easily for you.

But, DVDFD does the disk and automatically takes care of this VTS.

This is the junk in VTS_22 I woud guess. Yes, I've read references to that VTS in other forums.

Try not making an ISO and just point to the files with DVD-RB...should be no pb's That worked. Odd that converting the folders that DVDFD creates into an ISO was a problem though, isn't it ??
