ripped bluray ISO image not usable

[rubie]

Hi!

I tried dvdfab to make a bluray copy. Installation w/o problems. Selected bluray copy, cloning (German: Blu-Ray Copy, "Klonen"), writing to an ISO file on harddisk (NTFS). All seemed to work fine, 2 hours later 45 GB of ISO file were written (movie "the dark knight"). However, I cannot to anything with the ISO. I tried to mount it with DVDFAB virtual drive, it says "Einbindung fehlgeschlagen". I tried to mount it with Daemon tools. Mounting seemed to work, but the virtual drive seems to be empty, and my bluray player (Cyberlink PowerDVD BD OEM version bundled with my bluray device - PLEXTOR PX-B120U external USB drive) says "no disk". I tried to feed the ISO into DVDFAB decrypter Blu-Ray Copy again (select a bluray image as source) - the region code setting does appear, but after "ok" to the default, the source selection is not accepted.

Any chance to recover the movie from the ISO file?

Thanks for looking on my problem

Hi Rubie,

Please user Full disc to creat an iso and then load to DVDFab virtual drive to see the result.

Hi cici Jia,

Thanks fot the suggestion - but this is exactly what I did - "Einbindung fehlgeschlagen" is the German error message, see original posting.

I tried "full disc clone" on two other bluray disks, same result. What did work is extracting "main movie" to an iso image, but: doing this I have to select the "main movie" (there are about 3 "long" movies to select from) and I fear to select the wrong one.

What did also work is extracting not to an iso but a harddisk directory. However my player (Powerdvd 9 BD) does not recognize the movie in this case, I only can play it as a list of .m2ts files which causes annoying interruptions on every switch to the next m2ts file.

What cici jia meant was to use Full Disc not Clone also when CyberLink is open select the drive icon at the bottom left and use the Open movie file on hard disk drive to find the folder for Blu-ray. Cyberlink can play if it old version.

You can as well use ImgBurn to convert that folder you have to an iso using the Create image file from files/folders within ImgBurn

Thanks for answering.

So it looks like that I should redo all copying (either full disk or main movie) with target file system directory, not iso image file, and possibly convert to iso afterwards. What a pity that there is no realistic chance to use the already produced ISOs.

Actually Full Disc has the option to save as iso as well and if you are using the VSO burn engine that comes bundled with DVDFab I would still download and install ImgBurn and set it up to work with DVDFab. Since ImgBurn is built more for burning and creating iso images than the VSO burn engine is
