InstantCopy breaks VOBrator

[MrFaust]

Hey, can anyone confirm this for me?

Right after installing the InstantCopy trail, I noticed that VOBrator would just display black screens for all VOB ID's I tried to play. I messed around with some stuff, but I couldn't find anyway to fix it.

I then uninstalled InstantCopy Trail, and VOBrator instantly started working again. I reinstalled InstantCopy, and VOBrator went back to just displaying black.

Does anyone have any idea what causes this, or a possible fix? I know of no other program besides VOBrator that can be used to view seperate VOB ID's, DVD2AVI says what ID its currently playing, but each time I test it, it displays the wrong ID.

if you right click on the vobrator icon and set to run in 256 colour mode. That should sort you problem out

Unfortinately, I don't have WindowsXP to do that. Even so, I don't understand why WITHOUT InstantCopy it works fine, but WITH InstantCopy it fails?

I just did a test, I shifted my PC to 256 color mode, then 16bit color mode. In both modes, the VOB's show up at the proper height, but about 1/10th the proper width, and only in black and white.

I'd prefer to figure out how InstantCopy interfears with VOBrator and try to fix it.

I have the same problem, and I tracked it to vobmpg2.ax, the VOB Mpeg 2 decoder. By default it installs into C:\Program Files\InstantCD+DVD\SharedFiles

Unregistering this file fixes VOBrator, and the preview function of vobedit is also restored. I'm not sure if leaving it unregistered will break InstantCopy, so for now I'm re-registering it after I finish using VOBrator.

I'm having the same problem. After installing InstantCopy the preview mode in Vobrator no longer works. Even more annoying is the preview mode in IfoEdit no longer works either. Can you please tell me exactly how to register the file? Is there a permanent fix for this issue? Thanks

Thanks lusid this works I haven't tried to use IC with this unreg but Ifoedit is now working. :)

For the nOOb find the file regsvr32 in winnt system32 and copy it to the IC shared folder make 2 batch files one reg the other unreg.
For unreg regsvr /u *****.ax
For reg regsvr *****.ax

So all you have to do is double click on your batch file.

hi folks

having the same problem with vobrator/instant copy. read the posted solution but must apologise for being a newbie. I don't know what a Batch file is, does etc etc. installed instant copy to d:\dvd burning programs\instant copy. Tried pasting file regsvr32 from c:\windows\system 32 - ok but will not allow me to rename it (didn't think it would work but wanted to show willing. tried copying/renaming the vobmpg2.ax in instant copy/shared files no joy with the \ key. A step by step guide for a real newbie would be most appreciated. using latest demo version instant copy (.91).First attempt to do x-files series 2 disc 3 crashed at 97% during transcoding ) after ripping with dvd decrypter/ifoedit to strip out unwanted audio. Will attempt to sort that out by going through the forum ( yet again)

Cheers Darrell

I was able to cut and paste the batch file from another post - I'll include it in this post. You need to cut and paste this into I think an ASCI file (i'm not sure about that, but it can't be just a plain tect file or it won't work. If you have Word try ASCII when you save it). Then when you want to start IC7 just click on the batch file you created, it registers the .ax file, then when you close IC7 it de-registers the .ax so your other programs should work.


@echo off
@echo Register Filter (vobmpg2.ax)
%WINDIR%\system32\regsvr32.exe /S vobmpg2.ax
@echo .
@echo starting InstantCopy
@echo Please WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!
start /LOW /B /WAIT ../InstantCopy/MultiCopy.exe
@echo .
@echo De-Register Filter (vobmpg2.ax)
%WINDIR%\system32\regsvr32.exe /S /U vobmpg2.ax
exit

The best way to create a batch file is to use notepad. I don't know if the one above works but you can try it. Just create a new text doc in notepad and when you save it choose save as and select all files and name it with .bat to make it a batch file. I wouldn't use the S switch since you want to know if the file is register or unregister. The U switch is to unregister.

If you still can't get it let someone who understands dos read these post for you and make the batch files. You need a basic understanding of dos.

IC still works with the file unregister.

cheers folks for getting back to me, have not tried this yet as i am having problems getting my system going again,will try later when i re-install all my software. wanted to do a clean install and try instant copy using pristine win2000/xp as this seems to cured other peoples problems.
rather than take this post off topic (correct me if this is not the way to do this) i have done another post on my success so far (or if the truth be known COMPLETE lack of success) on this forum
"still no luck instant copy still crashes"
again thanks for the help

Does this work for IFOedit?

[rufusrex]

If you read the thread you'd see that it does

[Suade907]

Sorry , didn't see that one. Does it work for NVDVD?

BTW - This works for the ATI Player as well. I was having the same exact problem. Audio was heared, but no video. Used the batch file, now everything's cool.
