I can only speak for AnyDVD: it has been reported that you need to wait quite a while until the disc is fully scanned.
~3 minutes, although some reports say up to 10 (maybe with very slow CPUs).
After that wait everything is fine.

1) (As always)Just to be certain - Are you referring to a DVD or a Blu-ray disc?

2) There hasn't been a new version of DVD Decrypter for several years. Do you mean "DVDFab", or soemthing else?

When I tried to rip using RipItforMe, it said it needed 40gb's. I've run across this before, but my little laptop couldn't handle it. I went to my desktop, and was able to rip it using DVDFab v5.2 just fine, however, when I went to DVDShrink, it said the file was 6+gb's. It wouldn't fit on a standard dvd even with automatic compression enabled and attempting to just do the movie without any of the extras.
I'm stumped, any ideas? This is the regular DVD, not a HD DVD or BD.
Thanks!

Can verify AnyDVD works and DVDFab Passkey didn't, but they are the only two apps I have access too ;)

RipIt4Me is no longer updated.

I'd try using the free version of DVDFab, but AnyDVD is always a good choice. It IS payware, but it hasn't let me down once, DVD or BluRay/HD-DVD! I even get a lot of pre-release BluRay discs at work, mainly from studios who don't want to send me a tape or a ProRes file. No issues :D

Setting this aside, the most comprehensive free DVD ripping tool I know of is DVDFab. Can't think of anything other than what's been discussed so far. Sorry :(

I am trying to rip this with the latest DVDFab and it shows 4 different angles. Which angle should I be ripping for the main movie? Should I always rip Angle 1 by default?

Hi!

I presume you're referring to a DVD.

If so, when you play the original DVD, the very first menu you see is one that asks you to select a "Language". the need for / purpose of making this selection is not so much for selecting audio (which you can do at any time, using your remote) - rather, it's for determining which language dependent portions of video will be displayed, such as the words appearing on packing cartons. This selection is actually choosing the "angle".

The choice of angle should be in the same sequence as the choice of "Language" from this first menu screen...

@ setarip:

are there seriously DVDs that do this?

multi-angling something a simple subtitle could fix would knacker the quality of the entire feature, even if only 1 second of the film is actually multiangled.

the IFO could be knackered too... maybe that's what happened, but who knows? maybe they thought messing up the quality was worth it for a second or two of not having to read a subtitle?

[RunningSkittle]

Yes, Some disney films do this.

Sometimes it's required, because subtitling isn't an alternative.
Famous example: the opening "floating text carpet" in Starwars. You really don't want to replace that with petty subtitles...

Hi! @ setarip:

Yes - virtually every Disney animated DVD released in the last few years, no matter how brief the alternate language required video may be (Carton labels in "Toy Story 3", newspaper headlines, storefront signs, etc., in others...

[spotter]

Up did it. I noticed it when I had the wrong language selected, the "My Adventure Book" didn't say that, but said the same thing in Spanish.

I'd also note that my approach to whole DVD decoding would probably work fine for this :)

There's only one way to find out ;>}

[spotter]

somebody with access to toy story 3 would need to try it, I can always try taking it of the library, but have other things on my list first. ;)

[setarip_old]

I was suggesting to you that declaring that a thusfar apparently unproven (unless I've missed something in postings) ripping concept should "probably" work will, rightfully, be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism...

[spotter]

well, it hasn't failed on any I've tried. Including ones that every other system failed on originally (including iron man 2, alice in wonderland....)

[setarip_old]

Then I guess we Windows users will continue to look forward to the possibility of a successful Windows conversion, so that we too can benefit ;>}

[spotter]

it was explained in that thread how to build it for windows. Also don't need ddrescue even, any software dvd player (for drive authentication) and imgburn (configured to ignore and not retry on errors) will work fine for unscratched disks. Primary reason no binary exists, is that none of us really wnat to get in trouble for distributing it. Source code is safe.

[setarip_old]

it was explained in that thread how to build it for windows.Understood - and those of us who know nothing about doing such "building" will just have to wait for someone to post that they (or you) have successfully created a Windows version - and make it available.

Primary reason no binary exists, is that none of us really wnat to get in trouble for distributing it.You might want to check with "Doom9" to find out if he perceives any problem in making a Windows executable version available here. If it proves to be as good as it sounds, it would be a shame not to share it with the masses ;>}

I can personally confirm that spotter's approach DOES work on Toy Story 3. I used (in Linux) ddrescue to create the ISO, which took around 17 minutes, and then used spotter's program to DeCSS the ISO, which took around 6 minutes.

I then mounted the ISO in Windows XP using Virtual Clone drive, and it worked and played perfectly in all respects.

I actually signed up here just to make some comments about this approach, which I will add in the appropriate thread.

[spotter]

thanks, I'm considering having my program read from the DVD drive as well (i.e. implement ddrescue type functionality as well, making a map of sectors it couldn't read), but for now, I'm just sticking with the unix approach of individual programs that do one job well.
