DVDShrink - Programming error - exception occurred

[encore2097]

I keep getting this error "Programming error - exception occurred" during the Deep Analysis part of DVDShrink (latest version). I read this FAQ ( http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?threadid=48842 ) thought it might be ARccOS, or sme other copy protection scheme. So I tried using the following programs to rip the DVD's to hard drives and then load them up in DVD Shrink using "open files"

-DVD Decrypter ver 3.5.4.0
-RipIt4Me ver 1.2.0.0
-DVDFab Decrypter

They all resulted in the same error, "Programming error - exception occurred", duirng Deep Analysis at the same spot. The DVD is in great condition, no scratches or marks of any kind on it. And the DVD plays fine. This DVD is an old international film so its not on any of the lists of "uncopyable" DVDs. Can someone please help?

EDIT: I will try RipIt4Me again, I dont think it completed successfully since it stopped after ripping using DVD Decrypter

Hi!RipIt4Me ver 1.2.0.0You are using an outdated version. Go to ripit4me.org to obtain the latest version.

What is the Title and Region of the DVD?

[encore2097]

I got the new version, it completed successfully. Running it through DVDShrink now.

The DVD is MISSAMMA and it seems to be region free.

EDIT: Same error in DVD Shrink, same spot too, "Programming error - exception occurred", before it was at 99% now its at 100% so I guess its the same.

EDIT^2: Tried Nero Recode on the DVD and it gave me an error as well.

Have you tried playing it from the hard disk to see if chokes at any point during playback? It would be interesting to see if the probem is in the source or something that only shows up in the transcoding (Shrink and Recode being much the same in their handling of DVD structure).

If it plays okay, you might try the free version of DVD Rebuilder along with the included free transcoder, Rejig, to see if it is able to handle the material.

The DVD plays fine. I will try using DVD Rebuilder (freeware) version. I am attempting to use the OneClick method. hope it works =)

I just want to make sure you're tracking me. We want to make sure the ripped material on your hard drive is playing fine, not that the DVD itself plays fine on your PC.

Best of luck. Hope it works.

Gotcha. I will rip it again using DVD Decrypter and see if it plays. I decided not to use DVD Rebuilder, was taking way too long, and I have like 30 DVD I wish to copy from a friend and I dont have that kind of time. :sigh: Dont know what to do....

[aaron10]

If the DVD content plays from the hard drive, I would use DVD Rebuilder to do that one movie. You can use Shrink for the rest. If you use DVD RB with Rejig (the transcoder) for that one movie, it shouldn't take an inordinantly long time.

Do you know of a tutorial/guide, Im guessing I need to change some settings and such to use Jig rather than CCP or something thats on as default. Thanks for your suggestion I will try that..

[aaron10]

I'm not in front of DVD-RB right now, so I'm just guessing (and I use the Pro version so there are differences), but think you would select Rejig from a Mode drop down menu.

Doesn't a help file come with DVD-RB? If it does, Rockas and JDobbs would have laid out just about everything you need to know to get things up and runing efficiently.

Beyond selecting Rejig, I'd go with the default settings. They work. You can tinker with the other settings when you become more conversant with DVD-RB.

If you Google "DVD Rebuilder" and "tutorial", you're bound to come up with some links, but I think the help file should be all that you need.
