Hi all,
I've successfully made backups of several of the earlier discs in the Twilight Zone series, but Vol. 30 and several of the later titles have been giving me problems. My general method is to rip the entire disc using SmartRipper in Backup mode, then burn to DVD-R with RecordNow Max in Data Disc mode. This method has worked perfectly with the earlier Twilight Zone titles. But when I play my backup of Vol. 30 on my standalone, the picture freezes during the closing credits of the first episode.
I decided to re-rip the disc; but this time I would watch the ripping process very carefully (I usually just start it and then do something else). I noticed that when SmartRipper got to VTS_04_3.VOB (the final VOB file of the first episode, about 30 meg is size) it said that the file was not encrypted and then proceeded to copy the file to the harddrive. When the ripping was complete, I tried to play the files directly from the harddrive using both WinDVD and the IfoEdit player. They both froze during the closing credits just as my standalone had.
It appears that VTS_04_3.VOB corresponds to the closing credits of the first episode, and that SmartRipper is incorrectly determining that the file is not encrypted; it then copies the (still-encrypted) file to the harddrive, which causes all DVD players to choke.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm using SmartRipper 2.41 on XP, if that helps.
