Hi everyone, this is my first post and i guess it wont be easly sorted, ive already tried with all my dvd backup apps, which bytheway are the most used judging by the posts and tutorials on this forum, but i cant seem to make it, has anyone managed to make one copy yet?

what program exactly are you using, what happens exactly (does it erorr make a bad burn ect.), and what media are you using?

[taggiascoz]

ive tried with anydvd & clonedvd2, with dvdshrink, with alchol 120, dvd decrypter... the burner is a sony dru 510a the problem is always the same with each program, during the reading process it gets stuck saying that there's an error somethin like, cyclic radunancy, then it says the dvd might be dirty but its brand new, not even finger prints on it so i exclude that one, probably protected, woddya think?

Its the first time i cant backp a dvd

[snake2]

does it play all the way through in a dvd player? may have been a bad disc

[taggiascoz]

No, in the player its fine, im sure its protected in nasty way, you gotta try guyz, i could be a new important post!!! When everyone thought they cud backup anything, here it is! Passion of the Christ UNBACKUPABLE, unbelievable huh?

[TylerDurden]

Its not a problem. Some discs have little warps or errors on them that even though they look fine the disc is a bit messed up. I would try and take back the disc at least for an exchange for the same disc.

Just tell them it doesnt play on your PC.

Plus Im betting the new one you get will back up no problems.

A new copy protection may be in use afterall. I tried Blind Write 5, the newest version, and it has settings for Bad Sectors, and viola! It worked.

i'll let u guyz know how it goes, thanks alot for now

[taggiascoz]

Well, here i am, i made it but there's a problem...
The deadly combination was anyDVD runnin in background and Blindwrite 5 did its job which means now i have a blindwrite image file of the movie but i dunno how to write it on the dvd cuz this type of image, with the file extension B5T its not recognized by any of the software i usually use like dvd shrink and the only possible option is to use Blindwrite also to write but it hasnt got the compression option and my dvd its dvd5 so wot can i do now?

[TylerDurden]

Supposedly the newest version of ANYDVD (3921) has the ability to override this protection. You may want to update and try that instead of Blindwrite.

You can also try ISOBuster (I bellieve it works with Blindwrite images), and extract all the files to another directory, aft that, you should be able to use dvd shrink or any other transcoding software to browse for the dvd root, and direct it to where you extracted the files.

[generalplot]

I just verified it. IFOBuster version 1.6.0.19 does allow extraction from Blindwrite image files, so there you have it. Let me know if you try this and whether you are successful or not, thanks.

[taggiascoz]

well, i finally made it, blindwrite extract the image, it took it a while towards the end where i suppose these kind of protections were, a while i mean like couple of hours to finish reading the last 5% despite i have not a pretty bad cpu(amd 3200). After that i had this image in Bindwrite format which i afrerwards converted (like you suggested with ultraiso) in an normal iso format image; after that i thought i could simply use either clonedvd or shrink dvd writing the iso image on the dvd after letting them compress it to fit it on a dvd5 but here's wot happened: clonedvd, i choose "copy dvd" i select the iso file i go to the next step the compressing process starts and after about 1 min it fails, i dont remember exactly wot i said but something like i shoukd redo the operation from the hard drive, despite i was already doing it from the hard drive...
Then i tried with shrink dvd and when i chose to open an image from the file menu i wouldnt let me open it saying that the iso was damaged or something:
Well, when i thought everything was lost i run ultraiso again, opened the B5T image (which i had created before with blind write) so that i could see the video_ts and audio folder, selected them both and then right click and extract to specified folder. After that with shrink dvd i press "open files" browsed the folder where both video_ts and audio are and managed to burn it.

It was a real mess for me to make this backup maybe for someone else would have been a lot easier but i hope i can spare someof troubles with this post.

What profile did you run Blindwrite in to get it to rip? Did you manage to find a ring profile for it? Or just automatic?

[taggiascoz]

the profile was automatic but i had anyDVD running, sorry i forgot before, without anydvd running i coldnt do it, the "read" button was greyed out, but with anydvd started it was fine on automatic profile
