RipIt4Me..Quick Reference Guide

@Ausgirl

Did you run the file through Shrink and create an iso for Decrypter to burn. Was that option selected on your backup screen?

 

arniebear....
I have no idea LOL
It went through shrink and that's all I know.
How can I tell if an ISo file was created?
I followed the instructions on page 1 of this thread, now I am getting C Windows error message and RI4M shuts down.
i dont know whats wrong, maybe my setting in shrink or decrypter are wrong?
Also my HDD memory is quite low.
If someone could walk me through step by step, maybe in an email or something?
I don't know?

 

I've been trying to copy my son's wedding DVD with Nero but haven't been able to. Since I couldn't just copy the DVD I thought it might be encrypted so I've tried using RipIt4Me and the other programs I've downloaded with it. It's giving me error messages so I click on try again over and over. I've tried to click on ignor and that didn't work either. I'm at a loss as to how to copy this DVD. I've already used these programs to make copies of a couple of movies so this isn't my first attempt at it although I do sometimes have trouble. I can't even get it to download the files. I had ordered 2 DVD's of the wedding and can't use either one. Do you have any idea if copying a photographers wedding DVD would be different from a movie? If so what can I do to make copies of it? I really want to have several copies of this because it's very precious to me. Any suggestions? One day I may not need to ask all of these crazy questions but for now I seem to run into one problem after another. I appreciate all of the help and instructions I've gotten.

 

What progams have you tried? Maybe DVD Decrypter in iso read and then iso write mode may work for this. Just open Decrypter and choose iso read in your mode tab, when done they use iso write to burn. Cannot believe this is an encrypted DVD. What is the file extension showing for the video on the DVD?

 

Forgive my stupidity but how do I find out what the file extension is on the wedding video?

 

We are all new Myreltr, don't fret upon not knowing, the only thing we ask here at AD is to pass along your learned knowledge to other newbies and junior members when they need help. Do as Arnie suggests, try DVDDecrypter,avail here, and see what happens.

another option, try cleaning your disk gently with windex, removng smudges and/or fingerprints. Keep on trying, try ripping on a friend's computer using a DVD-RW burner if at all possible. Often times the disks are hard to copy because the professionals use the cheap media, (Ack...CMC-MAG) and they burn them at maximum speed, ensuring lots of write errors. Trust me, we'll be able to figure out a way to copy this one for you, just give us as much info as possible.

 

I'm trying. I decided to try to other copy of the DVD since I had bought 2 of them. I'll see what happens with that one. My husband has a machine that cleans and repairs DVD's and CD's. He's never used it so we might have to try that. I'm getting ready to try this DVD to see if it might work better. I've been trying the DVD Decrypter in the iso read mode as suggested. It didn't work on the first DVD I tried but I'll see how it does with this one. I'm glad I bought 2 copies of the wedding. I actually bought 3 but I gave one of them to my son and his bride. I can't get that one because he's in the U S Airforce and is stationed in Japan. I'll have to make due with the ones I have. I'll let you know if I get it to work or not. Thanks.

 

Didn't work. After about only 5 minutes it started giving me the error messages again. How can I show you the error message that I saved by printing my screen? That might help.

 

For and Image

1. Hold down the alt and prn screen keys.

2. Open the Paint Program in the Accessories Folder in your Start Menu.

3. Hold down the Control and v keys and the screen image of the program should come up.

4. Save it as a png file.

5. You will then need to find a host site for your image. Free ones with limited monthly bandwidth are http://www.imageshack.com and http://www.photobucket.com You need to sign up.

6. Upload your image to the site.

7. Copy and paste the img file tag into your post. I use photobucket and it will list the img tag.

8. When you have the image tag in the post you need to change the uppercase Img to lowercase img e.g.

Wrong......

Right......

To find out what file extension this is, just go into My Computer and then use the Folders tab. Go down to the drive and highlight and see what kind of file is on it, whether it is VTS or what. This is a DVD and not a CD right.

 

Hi All..I am trying again with a different DVD. I re-downloaded and re-installed everything except FIXVTS, because it was failing at this part. I think the problem is with DVD Decypter. Does anyone have a snapshot of the setting that should be use for DVD Decypter?

Thanks!
LT

 

BTW, This is what I'm getting when I try to backup the DVD, the bolded line is the one I think is the problem...thoughts?

Thanks Again!!

Try to update it to the latests version.

 

As cynthia states update to the latest version and make sure your path is correct to DVD Decrypter.

 

I get to the 4th step and the program just shuts down. I am using a laptop withe a Lite On external DVD RW. Is there something I need to do with the PGCEdit? I am confused.

 

Make sure you have the latest RipIt4Me version and that you have all the paths correct for DVD Decrypter and Fix VTS. If it is shutting down on FixVTS then you do not have the path correct. Make sure the path is directed to the FixVTS program exe. Try using RipIt4Me in 1Click mode after you have made certain your settings are right.

 

I followed your directions which are awesome by the way, I am just too much of a NEWB to get it right. I guess some info on my system is this. Laptop, and old Compact Pesario with an external Lite On DVD burner. I am running XP. I also have DVD Xcopy Platnuim. I D/L all the programs you said to do. One thing is that I created the files to put the videos in under "my documents" and made a "dump file" and then made a sub folder called VIDEO_TS to put the movies in. I did put the FixVts in a new Temp folder because I didn't have one. and directed it to that. The only thing I saw that was differnt then what you had was the VTS had the "In place (no backup) box checked. Other then that I get to about the 4th step and it gives me a meassage.

 

Let's start with setup

Place your RipIt4Me and FixVTS dl in a folder, the zip files, extract the zips to that folder. Then got to your Documents and Settings and just delete the current RipIt4Me folder.



Go back and Double Click to install RI4M. Then open the program and check your settings, direct the path to the FixVTS program



You will notice a box in the settings that states Include Video_TS folders, check this and you will no longer have to create your own RI4M will now do it for you.

If your setup is correct use the 1Click mode and it should then do everything automatically for you.



Just decide if you[ want Full/Movie Only/Movie + Menu or Iso.

 

Am I running into a problem because I get to the burning stage and I am using an external writer?

 

Are you able to rip the movie, what problem are you having with your burner. I run two external burners and there should be no problems.

 

I don't seem to have a problem ripping the movie. I just get to the last part, I think it's step four and all the apps close. It did give me an error message with the FixVts. I am going home for lunch and getting my laptop. I will backup a copy here @ work and tell you the error message. I will alos redo the folders like you told me to and let you know.
