Incubus

[MegaPyro6]

My friend asked me to try to backup his Incubus the morning after sessions dvd. Someone else scratched it up pretty bad and his player was having trouble reading it. My computer reads it fine. I tried making a straight backup using Prassi, but the video is blurred and the sound is garbled. Someone else told me a couple days later that it was one of the first with copy protection on it. When I try to rip the files they all work except vts_3_02. I've been using smart ripper. It has the garbled sound and blurred video. Is there some way to get around the protection? I was thinking about using a tv in card, but i wanted to see if i could do it here first.


Thanks

You can try dvdxcopy. It restores scratched and damaged dvds.

No Its not that its scrated, the fact is that it has copy protection on it. Why else would it play fine on my computer (the ripped files) but when i burnt them everything was corrupted. But I got around it anyway. I used DVDx 2.0 and just ripped the whole vts 3 section. It worked great. Now I just have to rencode to DVD format.

Try ther newest version that DVDxCopy has to offer. It is alot more stable than the other versions.

No matter what program I use there will be copy protection. You guys don't seem to realise this. It is built into the vts file of the main video. I wanted a way to rip the vts file, but have no copy protection. I have found that if I rip the whole vts_3 file at once, not just the individual files, it works. I would of tried dvdxcopy, but I currently have 3 blank dvds, so i can't really waste them.

It could also be the version of windows you are using. Any version under 2000 is not recomended for dvd movie backup.
