War will not decrypt - file 16

[jgATL]

I have not been able to decrypt all of the new DVD War. The movie gets to the 16th VOB file (VTS_16_1.vob)and cannot crack the decryption on the 16th file. See attached zip file per sticky in this forum.

1.You have not provided a full error message nor do we have any idea what program or method you used to rip.

1. State the full error message(s) you encountered (click "details"),
2. tell us what program(s) you were using when you received the error message(s), and
3. describe in detail what you were doing when you received the error message(s). What problem are you having exactly?

ASAPIW2k (System32\Drivers\ASAPIW2K.sys), Version: 6.0.0.1 (6.0.0.1)
Company: VOB Computersysteme GmbH
Product: asapi
Copyright: (c) 1997-2001 by VOB Computersysteme GmbH
Description: ASAPI
FileVersion: 6, 0, 0, 1
ProductVersion: 6, 0, 0, 1

Asapiw2k.sys - Used by Pinnacle Studio 9 by Pinnacle systems or VOB Computersysteme GMBH

That may cause conflicts with Anydvd

2.
i) Create a backup of your registry
ii) Download imgburn. It's a free program: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)
iii) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Select "ASAPIW2k". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Click "ok".
iv) Reboot

Whatever program installed that filter will no longer work properly.

First error is FILEIO 3 VTS_16_1.VOB 100890624 462848. There is no "more details" button on the error dialog.

I am using the latest version (6.4.1.2).

I have used IMGBURN to disable the filter that you specified.

Is this the disc? http://www.amazon.com/War-Widescreen.../dp/B000X1Z0C4
That was released January 1, 2008 according to Amazon.

Thank you. Can you please re-upload the .zip file now?

First, please do this: click the red fox icon on your toolbar. Click the "default" button. Click "ok".

Well, that FileIO 3 error typically indicates a bad original disc even if it plays fine. However, this is a Lions Gate movie, and it appears to contain structural protection, so I'm not 100% positive.

That said, I'm leaning towards the disc being faulty even if it plays fine.


This is what I would try (in order of likelyhood):

A. The original disc is bad even if it plays fine. Exchange it.

B. The disc is dirty. Clean it.

C. Your drive is slowly dying. Try a different drive.

D. The cable on the back of your drive is bad. Exchange it.

That is the correct title. I had thought this was a new flick but just missed the original release on DVD.

The disc is fairly clean. Since I can decrypt the main title files, I at least have a workaround for what I need. I just wanted you to know about the issue. I have two other PCs that I can test later this week to see if I can decrypt it on one of those (hence pointing to a bad drive, cable, etc.)

here's the new zip file.

Okay, the thing is that simply because a disc looks fine and plays fine doesn't mean that it is fine, unfortunately. That said, I can't be sure the original disc is the problem. I don't work for Slysoft, and I'm not an Anydvd developer, so I'm unable to tell just by looking at the log files whether Anydvd isn't handling the disc correctly. If this disc didn't contain structural protection, then I'd be 100% sure this is a bad original disc that likely needs to be replaced. But because this disc contains structural protection . . .

Errr, what happens if you disable the A.I. scanner in Anydvd?

Click the red fox icon on your toolbar--->Navigate to "Video dvd"--->settings-->change the A.I. scanner to "disabled"-->Click "ok".
I've got a feeling that's not going to help, but I thought I'd ask anyway.


Anyway, I'll forward this info on to someone at Slysoft.

That might be a good idea, just to eliminate the possibility of the drive.

I've had confirmation from someone that Anydvd 6.4.1.2 handles this disc perfectly fine.




Again, these are your options (in order of likelyhood):


A. The original disc is bad even if it plays fine. Exchange it.

B. The disc is dirty. Clean it.

C. Your drive is slowly dying. Try a different drive.

D. The cable on the back of your drive is bad. Exchange it.

"War will not decrypt" and then he says "cannot crack".

I'm amazed how many people come to this board with a totally unknown problem to be helped with, and just "assume" that AnyDVD must be having a problem with encryption.

War is an "old" title now and if it had any issues we'd: A) remember it ; and B) James would have fixed it 3 months ago. ie It's not a "decryption" issue. Pray it's only a bad disk, because the alternative is that hardware is going bad. And yes, 99% of the bad disks out there with read errors DO indeed "play just fine" - they just won't do a byte-for byte copy.

No need for insults, please. The original poster wasn't rude nor defiant.

In some cases when protection is broken on a newer disc, a bug may get introduced that breaks proper decryption on an older disc (remember that did happen once with Saw III; the protection was broken ages ago, and then suddenly a bug was introduced). This particular dvd isn't normal in terms of copy protection, so I couldn't be sure that Anydvd was handling this dvd properly.

Anyway, it turns out that Anydvd 6.4.1.2 does indeed handle this disc properly, and the OP probably has a bad original disc.

I would speculate that I remember SAW III and everything it caused as well as most anyone here.

Yes, it happens, but 99% of the time that a newbie runs in here screaming "AnyDVD won't work!" - it's because of a defective disk (or system) - not because the boys introduced a new bug for an old title.

then there's the follow up "how are you so sure it's not AnyDVD?" I'm never "sure" until the Cods at Slysoft say so (or I've done that disk) - but history tells me that when you bet on a bad disk every time - you'll win the pot.
