Nero Recode Error: Star Wars IV - A New Hope

[YoungJedi]

Star Wars IV - A New Hope

Nero Recode encountered an error and cannot continue.

Failed to read from the file VTS_02_6.VOB

Invalid access to memory location.

This is upon Recode's initial analyzing... I am using Nero Recode 2.3.0.8 and have decrypted my dvd to my hdd using various methods (DVD Decrypter/DVDFab Decrypter/AnyDVD Ripper/etc.) in order to make a personal backup which all leads to this same error... I have even gone so far as to borrow different friends dvd's of the same title which also all lead to this exact same error when analyzing... The movie plays absolutely fine when viewed directly from the hdd. None of my other five Star Wars films (or any other dvd for that matter) have ever given me this or any other error using the same method for backup. Any help in solving this problem would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

have you tried dvd region+css free if not goto www.dvdidle.com and download the trial software i backed up Star Wars IV - A New Hope using dvd region+css free and nero recode with no problems

[YoungJedi]

No, I hadn't as I thought the error was due to Recode as I have not received any errors in the ripping process and the movie plays/looks fine from the hdd - but I'll gladly try re-ripping it with that and see if this solves the problem!

P.S. If you're recoding a main movie at 1:1 (no compression -100%) there's no need for "High Quality Mode" or "Advanced Analysis", right?

[SMEG]

i dont think so it should be an exact copy if there is no compression

[YoungJedi]

That's what I figured, just verifying...

And nope, back to the main issue, just tried two different sources of the same dvd with dvd region+css free and nero still having issues, this time:

Nero Recode encountered an error and cannot continue.

Internal error.

It constantly is going back and forth between the two errors @80% depending on whether or not the "Enable video preview" is checked/unchecked during the initial analysis...

took a look on the net here is something someone else did to get round your problem the following is copied word for word

I did figure out a workaround. Hopefully it will work for you too. Launch Recode but select the option "Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital." Import the title, as you would normally do in the traditional "Remake a DVD" option. You might get an error here too. So, repeat the process. At some point (for me, it was the 3rd time), the entire file set was analyzed. Now, exit the program, then go back to your traditional "Remake a DVD" or "Recode an Entire DVD", go through the import title process. Since you've already analyzed your files it in the other option, it should skip this step.

Again, it's a goofy error, and my workaround is somewhat inconsistent, but I did try it on a bunch of different computers, moving a portable Hard Drive to each computer. Each computer eventually was able to analyze the files, all failed the first couple of times.

Keep at it, and it should work for you.

I guess it doesn't load in DVD Shrink?

That wacky trickery actually worked!!!

Big THANK YOU SMEG for that!!!

Hope the folks over at Nero fix that 'lil bug in the next update - odd as I had never encountered anything like it before...

P.S. blutach - I was always advised/read that using the latest AnyDVD->DVD Decrypter->Nero Recode was the very best combo for making my 1:1 (main movie/title 1) backups on my PX-716A with Verbatim media (DVD+R or DVD+R DL, whichever was needed to retain 100%, and with booktype always set to DVD-ROM) with the writer of Shrink continuing his work "legit" through Recode anyways? I would most definitely respect your take on that if you feel there is actually a better way?

Try running it through fixVTS or vobBlanker

I need advice, me got a lot of dvds that I copied badly before I joined forum, now I want to save the environment by erasing and using them.I tried erasing with nero 6 but I get a funny screen saying the option I choose....

Please tell me how I can erase the dvds I wrote using nero 6, or is it advisable to forget about the environment and send them to the bin?

[SMEG]

might be a daft question but are the dvds re writeables ie dvd+rw

[Phillip]

Ay Smeg me confused. Maybe you should tell me what to do if they are re-writables and what to do if the are dvd+rw. I think they are rewritable, you know the 4.7 gb type???? I hope I make sense..........I think they are written REWRITABLE DVD+R....or RW not sure havent got one with me.

I really wish I'd come to the level where I am as technical as you

[SMEG]

if they are dvd+rw it means you can copy another movie over the one that is already on the disc i dont know what software you have but normaly when you start to burn the software used to burn will deal with the format of the disk if the disc says dvd-r or dvd+r then they can only be written on once

[Phillip]

Thank you smeg, I got one with me now it says DVD+R.....that means I am stuffed....maybe I will start only buying DVD+RW if this is not too costly to the homeless.....
