I have recently bought the Metallica S&M DVD, and i am trying to decrypt it.
DVD Fab removes all the copy protection and seems to decrypt it, but when i try and play it in WMP (with ffdshow tryouts) it says it cannot play the file and only one file is in the playlist. Other dvds automatically detect the playlist and work fine, this is the only one that does this.
Any idea how to get a proper rip?

Hi!
This DVD was released in June 2000. It shouldn't have any copy protection other than standard CSS and Macrovision, if that and, therefore, should be rippable by any ripping program, such as DVD Decrypter, SmartRipper, etc. If you've purchased a used DVD, it may be scratched or dirty and may have been improperly ripped by DVDFab Decrypter, which may have replaced unreadable sectors with "dummy sectors. Try cleaning the DVDV and re-rip with DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4.
On the other hand, I've seen a couple of other early DVDs that didn't have conventional DVD structure, or CSS and Macrovision, that could be copied by just using Windows Explorer copy function.
Would you post here a listing of the filenames on this DVD and their respective sizes?

Well i know that it has some rubbish it wants to install when you put the disc in, not sure what that is.
Its a PAL copy with Macrovision and "PC Friendly" (assuming thats the crap it wants to install)
I think its also multi angle, i'd prefer if i could get pretty much an exact copy?
It is second hand and a little scratched, file sizes are:
Disc 1:
Video_TS.BUP 14 KB
Video_TS.IFO 14 KB
Video_TS.VOB 10 KB
VTS_01_0.VOB 155,736 KB
VTS_01_1.VOB 1,048,574 KB
VTS_01_2.VOB 1,048,574 KB
VTS_01_3.VOB 1,048,574 KB
VTS_01_4.VOB 1,048,574 KB
VTS_01_5.VOB 1,048,574 KB
VTS_01_6.VOB 599,598 KB
VTS_02_1.VOB 286,488 KB
Im assuming thats all you need?
I also forgot to mention it plays fine in PowerDVD.
I would re rip it, but it seems it hasn't got the multi angle bit? Im using standard DVD decrypter settings, i see it says something about multi angle processing in there, can it not rip them all?

The list you've provided is lacking some critical files: VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_02_0.IFO, and VTS_02_0.BUP.
Is your source DVD an original, commercial DVD?

Sorry, didn't think those were necessary. I thought it was only the first ifo and the vobs.

Yes the source is an original commercial dvd, although slightly scratched. If you are doubtful, i could even take a photo :p

1) Have you tried cleaning the DVD yet?
2) Set DVD Decrypter to its default settings (Which will, among other things leave "Multiangle" UNchecked) - and then rip...
