Auto GK wont open a VOB - "file being used by another process" + freezes

[Booser]

Here's my story.

I have my Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest (R2) DVD and want to put it on my Archos DVR. Ive done this conversion hundreds of times.

However when I use DVD Shrink to save the DVD, it wont - "cyclic redundancy error". So I use DVD Decrypter to save it to my hard drive (using ISO read, aggresive method and ignore read errors) and then put it through DVD Shrink. Now I have my VOB files I want in a folder called "pirates".

I open up AutoGK (2.40) and select the 1st VOB file as normal. However it wont open it. AutoGK freezes and doesnt respond. Sometimes an error message comes up saying "file in use by another process" but I cant find out what this is. DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter are both shut down. I checked this in Process Manager. I dont know what "process could be using the VOB files?

The problem occurs even when I restart the computer, and Ive had the same problem on 2 seperate computers with the same DVD and process that I described.

Im not the most tech savy guy so I apologise if my description isnt that detailed, but I really dont know whats going on.

Hi!

It sounds like you've already ripped this "RipGuard"-protected DVD to your harddrive using DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4.

So, now just load the rip into VOBBlanker and:

Set an output directory, select "Process all" - and then press the "Process" radiobutton.

The new DVD "package" created by VOBBlanker in your output directory should be processed properly by DVD Shrink or any other program....

If setarip_old's suggestion doesn't work, and it should, you can also re-rip using RipIt4Me.

Ok guys I appreciate the help. I'll let you know how I got on

Cheers

Thanks guys that worked. I now have the .avi file.

Problem is the audio is out of synch. Its about 2 seconds ahead of the picture. I'm gonna try RipIt4me and let you know how I got on.

For anyone interested this is my log file:

Thanks guys that worked. I now have the .avi file.Problem is the audio is out of synch. Its about 2 seconds ahead of the picture.Load the file into VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod, or NanDub.
Set BOTH "Video"(VirtualDub,
VirtualDubMod and NanDub) and "Audio"
(VirtualDub and NanDub - VirtualDubMOD>"Streams>"Stream
list") to "Direct Stream Copy".

A) If the difference between audio and video is constant
throughout the video:

From the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Interleaving" (For
VirtualDubMOD, rightclick on the listed audiostream and then
select "Interleaving")

Under "Audio skew correction", set an appropriate number of
milliseconds (positive or negative) in the box labelled "Delay
audio track by"

Save with a new filename

B) If the difference increases as the movie plays:

From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Framerate" -
and select "Change so video and audio durations match"

Save with a new filename

Let us know of your success ;>}

[CWR03]

It should take 1750 ms correction to fix it.

[Booser]

I ran it through RipIt4Me from start to finish. Then used AutoGK as normal

Perfect! the audio came out properly synched. It must have been the FixVTS?

Thanks for your help fellas

[setarip_old]

It must have been the FixVTS?Or "Step 3B".

Glad to hear you've resolved it all now ;>}

Hi!Does this original DivX video play properly?
@setarip_old, OT but as you have not enabled your PM,

Would you mind if I re-use the content of this post: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=956524#post956524
for a "MORE FAQ for AutoGK" to come?

That has nothing to do with this thread - but you certainly can feel free to provide links to anything anyone posts to the forums ;>}

Edit: to answer Setarip_old below post, I was giving apologies for the Off-Topic

There's no reason to apologize. I just didn't want to confuse this threadstarter...
