I've just purchased DVDFab v9.1.2.5 to copy a DVD... The copy protection is defeating DVDFab. When I click to open the DVD, I get: Failed to open D: Please check if it's playable. It is playable on my BluRay/DVD player, but not on the computer. This isn't a wide commercial release, so the title would give no help. It's a short run production I want to back up. Any help greatly appreciated! TIA Gcason

TIA Gcason[/QUOTE] we need more information such as dvdfab internal logs and the name of the movie title and is this a dvd or a bluray disc.

You can try turning Pathplayer off in Fab settings and try again.Make sure you turn it back to always enable when done.You should always include the internal log and(vso burn log or img burn log for dvd) if a burning to disk problem.Logs should be included with any problem on Fab so if this don't work then please do so as it's possible the copy protection is not supported yet.Learn how to post your logs in my link below.

Thanks for your help!

if disabling pathplayer does not work for this dvd, you might try clone mode and see if that works.

Did you try turning pathfinder off? If you did and it didn't work you could try version 8 of Fab.

"PathPlayer" don't go off on a wild goose chase looking for pathfinder.

[QUOTE=90312;157925]"PathPlayer" don't go off on a wild goose chase looking for pathfinder.[/QUOTE] Thanks. Trying that now. It certainly did something. It's taking forever (5+ hours now). Should I give up, or is there hope? Thanks, Gcason

Hi GcasonMake sure that you view the content before burning to disc with path player disabled, it my give undesirable results.If all else fails, try version 8 found here It's strange that your log shows that there is no copyright in the disc.:confused:CBR929

Other fun facts about this DVD: Plays in a DVD player, but not on the computer DVD drive. The intro plays, but the main menu doesn't work.Properties shows the DVD has 31.5 gigs of files on itThe disk looks funky. Usually, the burn area is all in one place. On this disk, it's all over the place. There are concentric rings of burned areas.

$325.00 for a training video...:eek::eek::eek:

maybe if someone ordered the dvd - http://www.moxietraining.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8242/.f?sc=2&category=306&sc=2&category=306 dvdfab could fix it.

It's a bit expensive for that. :D

I got lots of helpful suggestions from members and mods alike, so many thanks!. To recap:

Versions 4, 8, 9 couldn't do it
Imageburn couldn't copy it

My DVD player is very old and has no firmware updates available. I'll upgrade that and see what happens. I'll keep everyone posted.

there's a new beta version 9.1.2.7 you might try.

signals

If you have a DVD-ROM (play only) drive it might work. There is a protection on some discs that prevents them from playing on DVD recorders or DVDR (recordable) drives. I will pass this up the food chain.
Someone with the disc should also try Passkey.

glenns

If everything else fails you can make a copy or temporary copy using a hi def camera recording the tv image and will come out not to bad.

Gcason and others:

If this disc will not open automatically in DVDFab, please try clicking the Add Source ("+") button, then navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder to see the result.

I didn't mention that specifically, but I have the same problem using the + button. Thanks for the idea, though.

glenns

Did you try main movie only?

glenns

Gcason: your burner is using 8 year old firmware from 2006 you never updated it.You can update it here to 2008 firmware and try again.Their are no other updates for it as support stopped in 2008 for this drive.

Make sure you follow all directions and the power don't go out or you can burn out your drive when flashing new firmware.

Do you have a USB plug in drive to try it on or a lap top drive you can put Fab on and try as it could be your drive being so old?.
