I've just recently come upon two new things that I have not seen before.
RCE protection??? I used smartripper and did a movie in backup mode. When trying to play it in PowerDVD I got a blue screen with one movie saying that the player could not play the dvd because it was set to the wrong region. Another movie gave me a picture of the world with the different regions saying there was nothing wrong with the DVD, but I had the wrong region player once again. I did a little searching and found a little about RCE Protection, but would like to understand it better. I think what I did was use IFOEdit on all the ifo's and did "region free" on each.
Question: Is this the correct way to work around RCE Protection?
Multi-Angle Films??? I was trying to do shrek 'full screen' and while I can't remember if I did a smartripper 'backup' or 'movie' mode, ended up with with a movie that plays just fine in PowerDVD, but attempts to use DVD2AVI on it resulted in an audio stream that would not work in DVDMaestro (error on import media asset), and when played in an audio player seemed to skip right where the funky multi-language title would be at the beginning. I'm assuming the re-encoded video would do the crazy multi-language thing to.
Question: Is there a straight forward way to handle these? I think I read that we should use smartripper in 'backup' mode and it will then handle the multiangle stuff right? Or use VSTRIP? I just want to make sure I get a good process especially since I won't know prior to ripping if the movie is multiangle. Any help here would be appreciated.
Sorry for the long post, but I think that others are probably struggling with the same issues, and this is such a great place to share information.
