Green boxes and heavy noise

[Hareoic]

For some reason, the footage from some of my DVD rips is covered in green boxes after I decode the project file (MPEG2Source). It seems to go away in a few frames, but then any parts with movement in them have so much noise and blocking and whatnot that IVTC seems to screw up every time I try. Can somebody tell me what's going on and how to fix this?

Try re-ripping them

Did that several times. Doesn't seem to help, regardless of the program used.

what dvds are you trying to rip? is it geneon or bandai?

[Hareoic]

Geneon. Specifically the fourth, fifth, and sixth installments of When They Cry/Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

And yeah, I only managed to rip it in the first place by using AnyDVD, as not even DVDFab could make it work.

.. it shouldn't matter; it didn't remove the micro's!!

There are times when a copy-of-a-copy will not rip; usually when there are more than two interlacing
functions taking place. "Rizelmine" and "Hand Maid May" were victims of this problem a few years ago!

the only solution that might help, sounds rather strange, clean the "eye" of your DVD Player/Recorder.

Also ripped them with the newest version of DGIndex (newer than the one included in the AMVApp beta) and yeah, I put the new dgdecode.dll in the right folder.

...Actually, seems like ALL the DVD rips of that series have that problem for some reason. Maybe AnyDVD did something to it.

[Hareoic]

First problem resolved. It helps if you only index one chapter at a time instead of the whole DVD.

actually a lot of the geneon releases (the ones Funi are distributing) and some of the new bandai releases they have started some kind of new encryption that seems to be causing a lot of scrambling when ripping them with virtualdub...
