problem trying to do cinavia disc full copy

[vWvSTATICvWv]

Hi vWvSTATICvWv,

You cannot write protected disc from ImgBurn directly, it must be done from DVDFab, with DVDFab calling ImgBurn.

What you have done is not makeing a protected disc, it's just normal backup.

Best Regards,
Fengtao

I've tried twice already to get Fab to call for ImgBurn and twice it has failed. I followed the guide to set them up, so I don't know what's wrong? After the encode, ImgBurn starts up, then closes and I get an error from Fab

*EDIT* Could the problem be that I have DVDfab installed on my larger internal HDD and ImgBurn installed to my SSD? Would I have to change any file locations in ImgBurn? I do it this way cause I don't want to run out of space on my SSD.

Ok so this time I'm doing a full disc to 25gb and burning with Fab. I'll report back.

I have a question...If I decide to do lets say RE3 w/cinavia, can I use clone to my HDD then mount the .iso and do the encode at a later date and still be able to disable cinavia?? Or must it be full disc? I guess my question is, is the cinavia being disabled during the analyzing/ripping process or during the encode? Thanks

I tried to do SALT twice, whole disk to 25gb, with out sucess. I rember reading somewhere in the forum that you cannot compress a cinavia protected disk. If that is true then that would explain my sucess with main movie and failure with whole disk.

Compression is not available yet.

Compression is not available yet.

Where did you get this info?!?
Compression to BD25 is available and you can make (compressed) protected backup. If you have troubles, please post logs so you can get it to work.

Cinavia is the topic.

Added BD25 "Full Disc" and "Main Movie" output support to copy Cinavia protected Blu-ray disc.

This is from the latest beta version. I have not seen that it's yet possible to compress whole Cinavia protected discs.

I give up! DVDfab finishes, IMGburn opens, goes through the motions and then closes and fails in DVDfab. I'm not gonna sit through another 3hr encode only for it to fail when it's about to burn.

I wish someone knew whether you can do a clone first, then mount and do a full disc encode that way...? Atleast that way u can choose to do the encode at a later time.

Main movie could be more than 25gb so it would have to be compressed?

If you do BD25 on a movie that is bigger than that, DvdFab will compress it. Either in Full Disc or Main Movie mode. So compression is supported for Cinavia protected discs.

Please post the logs and give us some details about the failure. (error code/message etc). Thanks
(Btw: if you want not to read the disc each time, you can make an iso with ImgBurn or with DvdFab in CloneMode but leaving the protections on, in the Bluray/Protection settings page; use that iso to make protected backup; again, this is just so you don't stress the bd drive too much).

IMGburn opens, goes through the motions and then closes and fails in DVDfab.

The log for ImgBurn that DVDFab created could give you some clues to why it failed.

Ok so I did a main movie copy of the other guys! TDK BDRE did not play in the samsung 3600-4600! I out back into Fab and it played on the preview screen! I used the VSO burning engine! I am doing a re burn and I am gonna use the ImgBurn engine and see if that works! every time I have put the disc into the sammy I get to the same spot! I went and purchased a new BR Burner to rule out that option!! Will post results as time is getting shorter!

Ok so I can do a clone of RE3D w/cinavia, then mount the .iso in Fab and do full disc copy from there while still disabling cinavia? Is there a way to not burn right away after the encode is finished? Can I burn the .iso or folders Fab creates after the encode on my own, separately?

This thread is about Cinavia protected backup. Samsung players are not affected by Cinavia, so you should make regular backup, not protected one.

Protected backup is meant to be used on PS3, on firmwares that have Cinavia detector.

You can do a clone iso, but leaving protection on.
Then mount with DvdFab and do protected backup.
As stated in changelog, RE3D is not supported in 3D mode when creating protected backup (only 2D).
Protected backup cannot be created outside DvdFab, it's a special mode of writing not available anywhere else (afaik).
Regarding a way to not burn the protected backup right away after it is prepared, you'll have to ask Fengtao for that. But there is not much use for such a delayed writing... protected backup is the disc itself that was written in the special way, so when you want to make one, you also write it.
Please post logs with the error code/message.

I don't know where the log went...I burned something else after the fail. I went into logs and all that showed was my last successful burn. Where else can I check?
The reason I asked about burning @ a later time is because if I can't figure out why Fab & ImgBurn aren't communicating, I can just close Fab and burn the .iso or folders it created in ImgBurn myself. I've never had an issue burning anything with ImgBurn til now.

In Settings->General->Output Folder you will find the path to Log directory. It is dvdfab_internal.log that is the most interesting.
ImgBurn needs to be 2550 (or newer).
You can also try to make a protected backup with VSO engine for a change.

Hope this is what you were looking for.....
*EDIT*
I don't think I can do the clone option. Once I mount and Fab reads, the copy protected option is grayed out.
