Re: List of Potential Bootlegs

I got most of my bootlegs from:

Ebay
Amazon 3rd party
Walmart 3rd party

All 3 places listed above have gotten better at screening out knockoffs.

Surprisingly, GoodWillBooks.com were all clean except they had a tendency to over buff their DVD's so I would run into a lot of bad ones.

Re: Certain discs won't rip

Any chance these are knockoff DVD's?

Re: Can't detect a disk's second layer except in a real player

I don't know what O/S you are using but if you can download Nero Infotool, it's freeware and it gives you all the info about a disk. Copy protection (CSS), layers, OTP...etc...I use an ancient version (6) but it works fine on my old Windows XP system

Didn't know you can do a full disk backup. How do you do that?

Re: Spider-Man (2002) Backup Fails

Hi,
I decided to try and rip Spider-Man 2002, main disc not the bonus disk.
Windows XP 32 system
Makemkv 1.18.1 in auto mode
De-selected everything but the one big file and 5.1 audio.Went without a hitch. No problems.

Re: Issues with "LOST tv Series"

Hi,
I just ripped Lost Season 1 Disk 2 to check it for you using Makemkv 1.18.1 in auto mode.
I'm using a Windows XP 32 bit box.
Got all 4 episodes. I deselected all subtitles and audio except 5.1 on all 4 episodes. Went without a hitch.
Hope this helps.
