Hello everyone,

I've got a big problem (been trying to backup for 2 days) with "Head of State". My problem, I used Smartripper to backup the whole DVD. Then according to the guide I used the Imagetool to create an Image and to mount it.
Now here's the problem:
As soon as I mount the DVD-Image my DVD-Player opens and starts the movie RIGHT AWAY, so there is no menue, etc.
But the even bigger problem is, that the movie is totally out of sync (I'm talking at least a second) just by playing it in my software DVD-Player.
The Vob files from the backup directory are FINE and NOT out of sync, the mounted DVD-Image Vob files however are totally out of sync.
So then the problem is dragged along into DIF4U and of course all the other parts of backing up.

I think the problem is located at the Video_TS.Vob File itself, because it cannot be opened using MSI-DVD (or Win-DVD), or to be exact, it opens, but it doesn't play. It's stuck at 0 seconds. The original backed up file has the same problem. The Video_TS.Vob itself is also very large. It's size is 561 MB and total playing time is 23 seconds.

Any ideas, or will it be easier just taking any other Video_TS.vob and "replacing" the original one (I wouldn't know how to do that though, since it's not going to be as easy as just replacing the file(s))
Thanx in advance!

As HyperYagami said, using DVDDecrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.com) is a much better option. Also, following the guides you would make an ISO of the DVD and let DIF4U do its job from there. I know there are some options that do not work ideally in DIF4U's file mode which is why all the guides use the mounted ISO method instead. I backed up the DVD with no hassle what so ever.

Hope that helped.
