Rip of VOBs are all scrambled

[merlin9876]

Hi!
Sorry if this has already been asked, I tried searching but got no help. I'm trying to rip to DivX my recently purchased Lost Season 6 DVDs. Worked fine until disc 4. I still use DVD Decrypter (in IFO mode) and AnyDVDHD 6.6.0.9. That disk indicates about 65 "suspect" sectors with DVD decrypter.

The thing is that this DVD gives me VTS 1 to 25 and almost each has about 2 to 10 PGCs that all seem about the size of an episode. I tried finding one that had the right time but always get a rip with an episode out of sequence! Should I use another mode? Or maybe easier with vStrip? Thanks for any help!

Or maybe easier with vStrip?

Really funny :)

I suggest you to rip the DVD first with AnyDVD and load afterwards in DVDDecrypter if you wish. Some protections can't be eliminated on-the-fly.
BTW When it comes to ripping I would use the latest version (6.6.8.3 at the moment as I write).

I assume you have searched and found something, like this guide -> http://adubvideo.net/how-to/anydvd-dvd-decrypter

Great for the guide, I modified DVD Decrypter. Thanks!

I tried ripping the DVD to hard disk but AnyDVD gave me an IO error... So no go for that solution.

Then I retried ripping with DVD Decrypter but there's the same problem : I have about 50 PGCs of about 40-45 minutes which I can't make heads or tales from... Even though there are only four episodes on that DVD. They all seem to come out ripped with scrambled/out of order scenes for each episode, when I try and just play the ripped VOB in Media Player. Anything I could do with that? Thanks!

What you see there are fake entries caused by the copy protection. As I wrote before...try to rip with AnyDVD alone: right-click the fox icon and choose rip to HDD or similar (I don't use the English version). As an alternative try DVDFabDecrypter. Both apps should repair the TOC and give you the desired output.
BTW One reason for IO Error could be that AnyDVD can't detect the protection correctly cause it's outdated...

Will try updating and/or DVDFabDecrypter. Thanks!
