Ok, I'm having some issues with ripping my dvd. I am trying to rip Grave of the Fireflies to make an AMV. This is my first time really making an AMV. I made one before, but it was just for fun. Anyway...
I've tried several different programs trying to rip the dvd to AVI format. I've tried Saga DVD Ripper and 1Click DVD to AVI. It starts ripping, and then it hits about half way into the movie, and then it gives me some sort of sync error. It says the error is fixed, but it never finishes ripping. Also, when it hits this point in the movie, it starts ripping the same scenes over and over and over before it finally just quits and gives the sync error. At the very top of the error, it says the DVD may be damaged. But this makes no sense to me. I first used a borrowed dvd, and I tried cleaning it. Then I decided to just buy my own copy (I wanted to buy the dvd eventually anyway) and it gave me the same message with a brand new dvd.
The strange thing is, my friend (who lent me his dvd before I bought myself a copy) said he ripped it fine with 1Click, it just ripped as fullscreen instead of widescreen. So I don't understand if I used the same program to rip it, why is it giving me problems, but didn't give him problems?
So then I tried to use DVD Decrypter to get the VOB files. It made the VOB files with no problems. So then I was going to use WINAVI to convert the VOB files into AVI. Well, that caused another problem. For some reason, it was ripping the main movie file and the special story board bonus at the same time. So the scenes would switch back and forth to the completed movie to story board views in every scene. >_<
I really have no idea what to do at this point. I've posted in another forum, and no one seems to have any ideas besides using different programs or cleaning the dvd, which I did. And with every program I've used I get the same problem.
Can anyone please help me? Or have any ideas as to why it's doing this? I've ripped other dvds successfully with no problem, so I know it's not my computer. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I've been eager to make this AMV for so long now, and I plan to submit it to Otakon. But I really need to start working on it, and I just can't get this stupid dvd to rip!!! >_O
