Problem playing all DVD titles

[bryancpa]

My Survivor Season 11 DVD set seems to decrypt with no problem but I'm only able to play 2 of the 3 episodes (titles) on each disc in the set. The discs recognize and play all three titles in my stand alone DVD player (PS3) so it's not a problem with the discs. When playing disc 1 for example on my PS3, the first episode displays as title 2, the second episode as title 3, and the third episode as title 7. The AnyDVD log file seems to report deletion of titlesets 7 through 14 as bogus which seems to be why episode 3 (title 7) is not avaliable. The disc 1 AnyDVD Logfile from version 7.0.4.3 is attached. Any help is appreciated.

The powers that be will have to look at this one. Thanks for the logfile!

Try to disable "copy protection based on unreadable sectors" for this disc.

I tried that and it still won't play title 7. If it helps, I created a new Logfile attached with the "copy protection based on unreadable sectors" disabled if it helps. Thanks.

Are you using Clonedvd on Survivor season 11?

The reason I ask is that a couple of times over the years I had something similar happen when using clonedvd. Content was missing from my backup copy .

For the heck of it I did another backup from the original but I instead used Dvdshrink - the Dvdshrink backup had all the content!

I went back to using clonedvd and it happened again nearly a year later on a different dvd. I used Dvdshrink again and the backup had all the content!

As I solved my own problem I never bothered posting the minor issue ( it only happened twice out of a large number of backups )

So if you used clonedvd try dvdshrink instead and see if that solves the issue.

If you used dvdshrink try clonedvd instead as it may be due to a dvdshrink "bug"!

I don't own clonedvd. Dvdshrink does not see the third episode either. When I attempt to play the missing third episode on my PC via TMT or streaming to my Popcorn Hour, the disc either stops playing or crashes the system. The only way I have been able to play the third episode is via a stand alone DVD player.

You can download clonedvd for a free trial from above link and see if using clonedvd solves the problem.

Below is another dvd shrink option to try

When you used dvd shrink did you use it directly on the original dvd?

Another option to try would be using anydvd's "Rip Video DVD to Harddisc..." mode ( accessible via the anydvd system tray by right clicking fox icon ) on the dvd

When rip is finished use dvd shrink on the folder and see if that solves the problem

No luck with Clonedvd. I get an error message when I try to open the DVD like with Dvdshrink.

I tried using AnyDVD to rip the DVD to the hard drive but I get an error message and the creation of a dump file which I have attached here. If I enable "copy protection based on unreadable sectors", the rip works but it doesn't include title 7 (the missing third episode) since AnyDVD considers it bogus with this option enabled.

Someone from slysoft should be responding to this thread later on!

I installed beta 7.0.4.4 and still having the same problem. I have attached an updated log file and dump file from this new beta version if helpful.
