DVDImageRipper_14 Update

[junq]

DVDImageRipper was updated.

New version is 1.4, in which some GUI and MDS file creation were modified.

This tool decrypts DVD-VIDEO/DVD-AUDIO (CSS/CPPM-guarded) DVD discs and creates an ISO image file of the same size with the original commercial disc.

To burn the created image, another tool such as DVDDecrypter, ImgBurn, etc. is required.

Please enjoy, if you like this tool.

@junq

Hi!

Can this tool circumvent the many other forms of protection found on commercial DVDs, or is it limited to DVD-VIDEO/DVD-AUDIO (CSS/CPPM-gurded)

What happened to your previous thread?

[junq]

@setarip_old

As you mention, this tool is limited to DVD-VIDEO/DVD-AUDIO (CSS/CPPM) only; no other forms of protection are considered.

Regarding the previous thread, it was deleted by myself since I'm not familiar with thread communication, probably bluntly enough.
I'm afraid that it might have violated 'netiquette".

[setarip_old]

Thank you for the additional information ;>}

DVDImageRipper is updated as per attached DVDImageRipper_15E.zip.

Three other attached files:
- CDVDTray32E.zip (tray open/close, task tray tool, no installation required)
- GigaDump.zip (no installation required as well) window size may be nogood for the first time.
- DVDCommand.zip (tool to display DVD Commands - VMIS)

Detailed helps are not available for these tools, but I wish you try these.

Remarks:
For the past decade, I dropped in DOOM9 site many times to get information on disc media tools of AV contents.
Thanks to the files and sources of these tools, I've got a lot of information and enjoyed programming of my own tools
for the purpose of my entertainment.

These attachemnts are very very small return to the volunteer site of DOOM9, still incomplete tools though.

junq

[yup]

junq :thanks: for Your time for developing DVDImageRipper.
During last weekend I tested 1.4 version and rip 2 DVDs.
How I can increase speed for searching keys more power CPU or more faster DVD drive?
Also check attachment for last version.
yup.

[junq]

To: yup

Thank you for using this tool.
And very sorry for late reply and inconvenience.

Above all, this symptom is the one that I have to solve.
I haven't so far encountered such symptom, but found a DVD-VIDEO named "King Arthur", by chance, which revealed the same symptom, probably because RCE (Region Code Enhancement) protection is not cleared. To be more precise, Authentication Success Flag (ASF) is returned as zero.

When authentication access is not granted, key search takes quite long time because the search will continue until it reaches the end of contents files like searching non-protected contents, resulting in ripping failure.

I have three CDVD/BD disc drives. Two of these have no problem in ripping, but remaining one revealed the problem.
In a sense, this symptom depends on disc drive and the type of copy-guard, but it does not mean the problem is solved.

I need time to solve this.

Again, sorry for inconvenience.

@junq

I like your GigaDump tool, it seem like it could be very useful. BUT - my screen is only 1440 x 900 and your window is too tall. Could you possibly re-compile it and make it fit a 1440 x 900 screen? I can't afford to buy a new monitor to use it! Thanks for your work.

[junq]

TO: xenex

I'm very glad to know that you like it.

OK, give me time (within a few days or within a week).

I will recompile it to fit it 1440 x 900 screen resolution which will be provided as a new attachment.

junq

[junq]

To: xenex

As per attached, I recompiled GigaDump to fit it to any display resolution (higher resolution is preferable), as version 1.2.

Try to use it, and please advise the result of use.

junq

[junq]

New version 1.6.

Ripping process was modified.
Version 1.5 is, therefore, removed from this thread.

junq

[Eagle117]

Could you post a mirror until the attachment is approved?

Edit: Thank you.

[xenex]

@junq

Thank you!!

The GigaDump 1.2 now fits on my 1440x900 screen and it works very well. I find this tool very useful, I have never seen anything like it.

Thank you for making this free tool, it will help me a lot for the project I am working on. Your work is much appreciated.

[junq]

To: xenex

Probably your purpose of using tool is supposed to be just what I expected.
Please remember that this tool is still incomplete and many featurs are still pending in my plan.

I recommend to use CDVDTray and DVDCommand (attachments in this thread) together with GigaDump, especially for DVD authoring.

junq

[setarip_old]

@junq

Please be good enough to post a brief description of the function of "GigaDump"...

[junq]

To: setarip_old

This tool was developed for my disc-related sector dump operation, especially for patch work of DVD contents in ISO image files on HDD drive, as well as browsing of those on disc drives.

If you need "brief description of functions" for GigaDump, could you refer to GigaDump12.PDF contained in the GigaDump12.zip ?

junq

[setarip_old]

Thank you ;>}

[xtcy]

hi junq,
first of all thank you for dvdimageripper ! it worked where other decrypting tools failed !
however, last night i tried to backup a dvd i own: you can see the result in the attached screenshot.
this dvd is quite odd for me, it's about 5GB but if you explore the VIDEO_TS you can find fourteen 1GB VTS_XX_X.vob (probably fake) files.
the backed up iso has the same structure and dimension of the original, that is a good result i think (the last dvd-fab looped endlessly without finding any key).
vlc perfectly plays the original dvd but unfortunately crashes playing the mounted iso backed-up. instead vlc can play the single "vob" from the backed-up iso.
please could you give me some help?
thank you!

[junq]

TO: xtcy

Thanks for using this tool.
Will study what you encounter after the attached JPG file bocomes available for download.

junq

[junq]

To: xtcy

Now I can see the JPG image.

The percent indication shown on the upper-left corner of this tool must not exceed 100.0%, probably because of fake VTS_XX_X.VOB file(s); zero-size or false size or else.
I don't think this is simple becasue DVD protection is of great variety.

To try to solve this, I need the disc.
So, if you don't mind, could you give me the title or ID number of the DVD in question, in order to purchase the disc through Amazon or else ?

Sorry for inconvenience with this tool.

junq

[setarip_old]

@xtcy

Hi! vlc perfectly plays the original dvd but unfortunately crashes playing the mounted iso backed-up.VLC does NOT require (or like) MOUNTING the .ISOs. Just "drag & drop the .ISO on VLC's open window...

[junq]

To: setarip_old

Thanks.
I just get VLC, so I'll also try to Drag&Drop ISO image onto VLC.

junq

[junq]

To: xtcy

DVDImageRipper seems to have worked normally.

I also tried to use VLC media player, thanks to the advice from setarip_old. It does certainly not "LIKE" mounted ISO images.
Ripped ISO image (not mounted) must be placed on the VLC open window by drag&drop.

At leaset for the present, DVDImageRipper seems to function normally, except for extraordinary percent indication, which I have no way to solve without the same DVD disc as you own.

junq

[setarip_old]

I also try to use VLC media player, thanks to the advice from setarip_old.As always, my pleasure ;>}

[xtcy]

@junq
the dvd is the italian (reg.2) version of the "little einsteins" episode "arriva la primavera" ("oh yes, it's springtime" is the english title), a 2010 disney's release. the EAN code of the italian dvd is 8717418255596.
please find attached a screenshot where you can see the original dvd mounted on the phisical dvdrom drive E and the backed-up iso mounted on the virtual unit H : both are 5.01 GB. you can also see the iso file i mounted on the H unit: it's 17 GB so the fake files on the original dvd became real on the iso !
searching the forum i found an interesting thread where two members are trying to build a decrypting tool for linux:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157519&page=2
and didn't seem to be too much worried about corrupted file system, perhaps they found how to circumvent it ?

@setarip_old
thank you for the info; unfortunately in this case, either you mount the iso and play or you drag and drop, the result is the same: vlc crashes.

thanks to all

[swolf2010]

@junq
Thank you for the good DVDImageRipper.
it is a interesting program. i am current working on a similar project on winNT, will you please contact me ?
because you did not receive private message.
BTW: DVDImageRipper create a 45GB iso for One DL DVD PRINCESS_AND_THE_FROG , and the progress is 500% ,hehe


swolf

[junq]

To: xtcy

I bought an English version "Little Einstein, Oh, It's springtime", not the same DVD though.

It'll take a week or so until I receive and test the dvd.

Thanks for giving me a challenge.

To: swolf2010

I received a message to my private E-mail address from DOOM9 concerning your request, and move to "User CP" to accept "friend". That's all.

Sorry, I'm quite unfamiliar with thread communication.
Could you please advise (in detail) how to directly contact you ?

I know that you cannot publicly disclose your private contact information, but....I cannot put my E-mail address here.

[swolf2010]

@junq
ok i get your PM

[xtcy]

junq,
i really appreciate your commitment
thank you very much !

[junq]

i really appreciate your commitment


To: xtcy

My pleasure.

junq

[junq]

Please try to use the attached executable DVDImageRipper_17E.exe.

Protection scheme (false location) is concerned, the problem were, I think, solved.
DVDImageRipper_16 is, therefore, removed from this thread.

junq

[junq]

To: xcty.

As per attached in this thread, DVDImageRipper is updated to Ver.1.7.

This version probably solved the problem you pointed out, althogh I have not yet received a "Litttle Einstein, Oh It's springtime" DVD.

Thanks for using this tool.

junq

[xtcy]

i'm downloading and testing v1.7
thanks

[xtcy]

sorry, attachment still under approval, i'll try later

regards

[xtcy]

junq,
the v1.7 works!!
the percent indicator is ok, the iso has the right dimension and perfectly plays in vlc.
great work!!
thank you again for this excellent software!

[junq]

To: xtcy

I'm happy to know that.

junq

[setarip_old]

@junq

How large are the .ISOs you've created of any of the Disney D/L DVDs (Or any others that use the same type of protection schemes)? Are they all 7.95Gigs or less - or are they much larger because of the additional false titles?

[junq]

To: setarip_old

The image size created must be exactly the Volume Space Size (expressed in DWORD at offset 50h of LSN 10h, tachnically), which is less than the capacity limit of DVD9/DVD5 (about 3FB000h sectors [8.15GB] /about 231020h sectors [4.5GB], respectively).

I have encountered this protection scheme for the first time.

1.6 or earlier versions of DVDImageRipper cannot cope with this protection scheme.

junq

[setarip_old]

I asked about .ISO size because I wanted to determine whether you could burn any and all of them to D/L burnable media that can hold approximately 7.85 to 7.95Gb - and whether such a burned disc would, in fact, be playable...

[junq]

To: setarip_old

If entire size of a ripped image is burned on a DL medium, it is playable.

Some, but a few, commercial DVD-ROM media exceed the size of burnable DVD DL media. In this case, you cannot play the burned image on DVD player (not software), but can play on PCs, except that the software player limits the playable size.

Before burning, check if the size of a DL medium can contain the ENTIRE size of a ripped image. I know you can do it.

junq

[setarip_old]

@junqI know you can do it.What I can do is irrelevant ;>}

I'm just following YOUR progress to make sure we ALL understand the extent of your progress so far - and, based on your response, the product of your program (an .ISO image file of up to 8.15Gb) is not limited solely to playback on a PC. It can also be used, with rare exception, to create viable burned DVD5s and/or DVD9s.

On the other hand, while following your progress, I'm fairly certain that, as you encounter the various and sundry protection schemes currently employed, you'll discover that you'll continuously have to enhance your program to deal with them (just like the commercial programs must do)
- as I've posted in the past to others who believed they'd be capable of creating a "one size fits all" decrypting program.

However, you seem to be making excellent progress!

Do we know how large the .ISO is that was created by "xtcy" using v.1.7 of your program versus the indicated size of the original, commercial DVD?

[Mug Funky]

@ junq:

"Some, but a few, commercial DVD-ROM media exceed the size of burnable DVD DL media."

i'd say it's more likely that this would be a problem with PTP format discs rather than some new copyright protection (unless the stated image size is 20x the actual DVD). writable DVD-DLs aren't able to burn PTP for some reason - they can only manage OTP discs (which are generally better, but impose a size limit that depends on the layer break position, while a PTP disc can use the full theoretical layer size regardless of the layer break position, at the expense of having to physically move the laser back to the beginning of the disc at the layer break, leading to a much longer pause in playback)

[junq]

To: Mug Funky

Thank you for your message.
DVDImageRipper is (or I'm) not aiming at PTP (DVD-RAM) media.

I really would like to know that you are a member of DOOM9's administrator group.
If so, I appreciate your messages including those posted so far.

I have translated your message into my mother tongue, and tried to understand again and again.
But, sorry, I cannot understand what you mention, probably because of my poor language capability and insufficient knowledge.

If you mention that I have to be responsible for the size of product created by DVDImageRipper, this tool itself must not be disclosed in any place because there are possibilities of advent of other "various and sundry" protection schemes I have not ever known.

junq

[xenex]

@setarip_old

You know, in order for you to answer your own question, there is something that YOU could do. The programs by "junq" here and by "spotter" in another thread both use the same general method, which is to copy a physical DVD to a hard drive, whilst decrypting the CSS encypted VOB files, and "blanking" bad sectors. It results in an ISO that is playable via most PC-based players. I (personally) don't feel that "burning a disc" is really the goal of these approaches, but you seem to want to do that.

So, since as you have stated, you do not run Linux and are not a programmer, but do run Windows, you could run junq's program on the "most-protected" DVD you own, whatever that title might be, and then burn it to a DL disc and try it in a standalone player and see if it works. I happen to have a strong belief that it will work. I'd be interested to hear your results. If, of course, you are willing to do this test.

[setarip_old]

@junq I really would like to know that you are a member of DOOM9's administrator group. Nope, just a forum member with insatiable curiosity (and the proverbial "a little knowledge, which can be a dangerous thing" ;>} )

[setarip_old]

@junq

Apparently on your behalf, "xenex" is soliciting the testing of DVDs.

A good example for you to test was suggested by "swolf2010" - Disney's "The Princess and the Frog". If you do test it (or have already done so), please let us know wheher v.1.7 properly processes it, or if you had to modify your program to deal with it, or whether you cannot overcome the protection.

[xenex]

@setarip_old

Wow, muddy the waters much?

No sir, I was speaking directly to you, "setarip_old." I thought what I said was fairly clear.

If you, sir, "setarip_old" desire to see if the approach used by "junq" here and by "spotter" in another thread is capable of creating a decrypted ISO image which can be burned to a physical disc in order to test its playability in a standalone DVD player, I suggested that you - "setarip_old" do that test for yourself, instead of "passing the buck."

Why do you ("setarip_old") not just use the program by "junq" to decrypt to an ISO the "VERY-MOST-PROTECTED" DVD you own, burn it to a DL disc, and tell us ALL if it works or does not work. It would answer your own question, would it not?

In fact, if you could find a DVD that does NOT work, that would be even more informative.

[setarip_old]

@xenex

In my post #52 to this thread, I said:On the other hand, while following your progress, I'm fairly certain that, as you encounter the various and sundry protection schemes currently employed, you'll discover that you'll continuously have to enhance your program to deal with them (just like the commercial programs must do) - as I've posted in the past to others who believed they'd be capable of creating a "one size fits all" decrypting program.I make this statement based on more than a decade of both using and quietly helping in the development of many of the more successful decrypters/"rippers" - and what I and many, many users observed 10 years ago continues to be the case today, namely that there is no program that, without ongoing modification, will be forever capable of decrypting whatever type of DVD copy protection "comes down the pike". If I recall correctly, there have been two or three such Linux-based attempts (prior to those by "spotter" and "junq") in the last year or two - all ending with less than 100% success regarding full disc backup.

That said, at this stage, although I'm always willing and pleased to directly share any knowledge, questions, or suggestions I may have to O.P.s such as "junq", I'm only willing to be actively involved in testing actual discs if it coincides with my personal interest, which is currently limited to Blu-ray discs (and, of course, my grandchildren and business activities ;>}).

To those who use DVDImageRipper:

I have posted an attachment named DVDImageRipper V.2.0 (Console Version) in the thread posted by "dlanod" entitled "What did happen to DVDImageRipper ?".

Sooner or later it will be available for download after approved by DOOM9.

Reason of Console Version is that it is stable compared with WIN32 GUI version.

Try it if you would like to.
