View Full Version : Damaged DVD-rip

I had quite a damaged dvd, that had about 10 mins of totaly garbled video, that crashed PowerDVD or even entire PC.

I decided to rip that DVD and then cut out defective part. I ripped entire dvd using DVDDecrypter option "ignore read errors". It took several hours, but it was completed with several thousands defective blocks.

Unfortunately DVD2AVI crashes when processing VOB that contains defective part. Any suggestion how i could remove that damaged fragment and encode film?

Try using Cuttermaran (http://www.cuttermaran.de/) to cut out the damaged parts directly from the VOB and then open the resulting files in DVD2AVI.

I don't know if Cuttermaran is more error resilient than DVD2AVI but it can't hurt to try it... :)

Thanks, but it didn't worked out. Cutterman can't open damaged vob with an error "Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "01.0.0001 0:09:31" Key being added "01.0.0001 0:09:31"

I guess that means that due to an errors there are keyframes with dublicate ID's in vob.

And btw Cutterman requires demuxing before cutting video stream, so i guess even if i managed to load and cut that vob there will be no sound in resulting file.

As a last resort, you could try VirtualDub-MPEG2 (http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/stable). I've had a few damaged files myself, so I tried to make its MPEG parser as robust as possible.

Normally I don't recommend VirtualDub-MPEG2 for ripping DVDs, because the result is often out of sync. But I suspect that in your case (because of the damage) you may have audio/video sync problems no matter what you do...
