View Full Version : Can't extract ISO using DVD Decryptor but I can play it in PowerDVD 5

I have a DVD-R (DupEZ Leaddata01) disk that I burned the Hooters 20th anniversary special on VH1. Anyway the damn thing plays "ok" on my PC using PowerDVD, but when I try to do a speed test using DVD Info it fails, and if I try to extract the ISO with DVD DEcryptor it fails! I want to try to get the contents off so I can re-burn it with my NEC 1300A which actually can burn to these disks. I used a standalone DVD recorder to burn it, and obviously that's not a good idea :)

My question is, how come PowerDVD can play it, but DVD decryptor can't?? Is PowerDVD just skipping the errors? I turned on "fast error skip" in DVD Decryptor but that didn't work.

Doesnt file mode work either? What is the error you're getting?

If all else fails, just drag the files off in explorer.

I got it to work :)

Basically there's another section in dvd decryptor where you can tell it to ignore errors (instead of just fast error skip). so i put that on,and it went through ok. On the entire disk there were 33 errors...I played the ISO using mdaemon and powerDVD and it seems ok...

Turning fast error skip on would (could) actually lead to more errors!
As dvds shouldnt have them (errors that is), I dont EVER advise turning fast error skip on.
Let DVD Decrypter do its job with lots of retries and then just 'ignore' the error when the box pops up. After 5 ignores, you get the option to ignore them all if you so wish.
