Thor has defeated Smartripper, which reports the "Some files are still locked, try opening with a player" message even after the disk has been played with VLC, cyberlink, etc.
Thor has defeated DVD Decrypter, which reports a technical jibberish error message.
Thor has defeated DVDFab 9, which reports only one program chain clocking in at 6 seconds long.
Thor only very narrowly defeated DVDFab 8, which reports multiple program chains of close to but not quite exactly the movie's 1 hour, 54 minute, 44 second running time. My first attempt at ripping one of them yielded a solid 1 hour and 20 minutes of the movie, all with perfect A/V synchronization. However, I am in no mood to play Humpty Dumpty with all the random chapters and titles strewn around the disk, especially when not a single one of them even matches the first chapter's correct running time (10 minutes, 29 seconds).
RedFox AnyDVD did not help Smartripper or DVD Decrypter in their battles.
I don't want to try DVDfab 10 or 11 because that program just keeps getting more annoying, intrusive, and restrictive with every new version, and because I don't enjoy formatting my hard drive and reinstalling my 3 operating systems every 30 days.
What are my options?
Edit: I tried just opening up the disk in Explorer, arranging icons by type, and performing a dumb, blind copy-and-paste of the first half-dozen VOB files that were 1 GB in size, and the one following them. This worked well enough and I was able to produce a version of the movie that was only 7 seconds longer than it was supposed to be, with perfect A/V synchronization. The extra running time seemed to come from a teeny bit of "garbage" at the beginning and after the credits.
