Problem ripping "The Proposal"

[lakedude]

I've used Fair Use and DVD Shrink for years. When Sony came out with ARccOS I added RipItForMe and DVD Decrypter.

None of these programs seem to be able to handle "The Proposal". The disk reports a size of something like 63 GB and there are about 10 different versions of the movie that all look like "main" feature. Copying with RipItFor Me methods yields a disk that plays but is out of order and possibly incomplete. Ripping takes forever and it looks like the rip is really going to eat up 63 GB of HD space.

Could anyone tell my what kind of copy protection "The Proposal" uses (or where to find such info)?

And how to copy such a disk?

Thanks in Advance!:)

I did search BTW. I just don't know enough to even know what to search for...

Hi!

DVDFab HD (freeware) handled the "XProtect" copy protection and generated a perfect copy of the R1 version of "The Proposal"...

Okay here we go, this is stolen and updated from JISTAGUY (THANKS!!)

This DOES work with ver 6.0.7.0, but I (jistaguy) used the latest beta ver 6.1.1.8
Boot dvdfab and go into settings and then disable pathplayer.
Put the disc in and select main movie.
Find & select Title 38. MUST BE 38!
When you get errors, click "ignore all" and keep ignoring them.
Eventually, you'll get the "Next" button. Click it.
You may even get errors after it's finished & the disc ejects.

It works!

Again the above is a MAJOR THANKS to JISTAGUY

Hi!

If you re-read this thread, you'll see that, for this DVD, the circuitous method you've quoted is entirely unnecessary - as a simpler "standard" method was used more than a month ago...
