View Full Version : Can't rip "Silent Light" NTSC-U DVD w/ AnyDVD

The disc is in perfect condition but AnyDVD throws a read or I/O error when it reaches ~15% complete in either Image or Video DVD (files) mode. I'm guessing that it's a special protection because the disc looks perfect and I had no problems watching it off the original disc. Any searches for this DVD fail to turn up corroborating info but I don't see any successes either (it looks like most rips are made from older versions of this disc released in other regions).

Dialog from Video DVD mode:
---------------------------
AnyDVD Ripper
---------------------------
FileIO 3 VTS_01_1.VOB 1067079680 604160
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


A little help?

The UK PAL version has some strange copy protection (or it was just badly authored?) which resulted in out of sync audio after ripping with DVD Decrypter. I ripped to .avi and just adjusted the audio sync, but maybe try DVDFab and see if it works for a full DVD backup.

Thanks. FWIW, the error dialog in Image/ISO mode is:

---------------------------
AnyDVD Ripper
---------------------------
Error reading from drive E:!
---------------------------
OK

Hey CZroe, have you tried the awesome MakeMKV (www.makemkv.com) yet? Probably not. Enjoy! :)

Hi!

Did you purchase the Tartan release or the Vivendi release?

Hi!

Did you purchase the Tartan release or the Vivendi release?

It's the Vivendi release but it looks like it wasn't a special copy protection after all. After DVD Fab Decrypter HD failed I finally looked up my registration info and installed AnyDVD on another PC so I could try a desktop drive and it worked fine. This laptop's drive has had issues mounting discs on the first try (like so many others, the media change sensor goes bad first), so I guess it's about time to look for a replacement.

Sorry guys. False alarm. *shrug* Hey, it worked with every other DVD I threw at it.

Glad to hyear you've resolved your problem - and that you purchased the "right" (quality) version ;>}
