Tried another DVD-ROM a Toshiba (older model) and was able to copy all dvd files except for 01_3.vob, using no software at all. All apps give the CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check error. If anyone has any other ideas on how to copy a dvd protected with bad sectors in the middle of the disc like that, I'd sure like to hear it. Blindwrite wouldn't even begin to read with the older dvd rom and I tried the newest version of AnyDVD, and no dice.

Im willing to bet that its probably a problem with the disc and not a copy protection at all.

That's what I thought at first. As I stated before: on the stand alone dvd player it plays all the way through. Plus, as a test, I played it on that older dvd rom using Power DVD, and it plays all the way through without freezing. I would assume if the disc was damaged, that it would freeze at the presumably damaged part on the disc. But twice it played through with no problems. After playing it twice, I tried to rip it again, and the results are still the same with that. I'm gonna give DVDRemake a shot. If that doesn't work, then I think I'm all out of options for the present moment.

In all my time of backing up dvd movies, Ive come across a couple of discs that do this. Theyve even played all the way through in my standalone as well. But when I tried to back them up they just wont.

I now just sell these games on ebay and purchase another one. Every single time after that Ive been able to back the new dvd up.

Well, the thing that leads me to believe that mine has this new protection is that all apps report that there is no CSS protection anywhere on the disc at all. And since this is a commercial DVD, I would think that the company would use SOME form of protection to prevent copying. Maybe they went the route of using the bad sectors instead of the traditional CSS. I've talked to 3 other people so far that have this disc, and they all get stuck at exactly the same place that I do. I'll wait and see if Slysoft comes out with a new version that can work around this.

Its been known to happen that some dvd's dont have CSS. "Ghost in the Shell" for one doesnt have any protection.
