Ok, I use Smartripper to rip most of the DVDs I want to process, but I have problems with some of them. I have installed ForceASPI 1.7 (Adaptec's 4.70 didn't work well, I'm using Windows XP Pro).
The problem usually arises if after launching Smartripper it says something like "trying to access ASPI layer", "unable to unlock drive", "switching to WinIO". This only happens with some DVDs (about a third), the rest work with Smartripper/ASPI just fine and rip without problems..
If a DVD can't be read in ASPI, and Smartripper switches to WinIO, there's a good chance that it will rip some VOBs but will get stuck in the third or fourth VOB (I think this never happens in ASPI mode). When this happens I switch to DVD-Decrypter and it always works.
The only reason I don't use DVD-Decrypter with every DVD is just that I like that .ifo parsing that Smartripper provides (I wasted a full night once encoding Shrek after ripping it with DVD-Decrypter to find out later that it had 4-5 different starting credits in different languages (multiangle) :D ).
My question is, does anyone has the same problem/knows how to fix it? Or maybe, is DVD-Decrypter ever going to do .ifo parsing so I can dump Smart ripper for good? :D I know it has a multiangle processing checkbox, but that isn't nearly as good as true .ifo parsing.
