I am trying to understand DVD protection, and ways to back-up my movies. I have used DVD43 and Roxio Media Center 7 with great results until I ran into Macrovision. I have DVD Decrypter which did a fine job of extracting the VOB files to my hard drive. I was following your instructions in this thread as best I could. So, I used VobBlanker and did another extraction from the disk, but got the following error message at the end of the operation -= "error reading input VOB - unsynchronized ". I have saved the VobBlanker log if seeing it would help.

I changed the extension of the VOB output to MPG just to see if the movie was present, and what I have is a movie with really messed up sound. As you can tell, I havent a clue what I'm doing hehe, but I'm willing to learn. Also, I cant see the output from decrypter from any programs i have.

I need help.

Thanks,

Mike Boe

Pretty much all you need as of now, is the latest Anydvd or DVDDecrypter and CloneDVD2.






Tyler!

A big Thank You Tyler !!! Although I'm still pretty clueless about the capabilities of this software, and how to use the options, I was able to successfully back-up Resident Evil.

DVD Decrypter, as well as VobBlanker, are awesome. My hats off to the people who can develop such software. My new project is to learn about DVD recording, encoding, decoding and protection. I believe this will keep me busy a while.

Thanks,

Mike

For me DVDShrink 3.2 and DVD43 is the only real working solution. DVD Decryptor was a little confused with german (rc2) version of Slipstream (english description is here). Ok, I have not tried DVD43 with Slipstream but with XXX - The next Level and DVD Shrink had no problem without the use of AnyDVD or any other tool.
