I've been able to backup many blu-rays but I've come across two that are stubborn, Matrix: Reloaded and Transformers.
I have the newest version of DVDFab and I'm reading elsewhere people are able to backup these movies so I must be doing something wrong. Now as I read more on here it seems what most people are doing is simply backing up the movie only, not the rest. In general I like to get rid of a lot of the stuff but I like the extras and sometimes trailers. I understand by only backing up the movie the size is smaller and I don't have to compress as much and likely get better quality.
I have only tried to backup Transformers twice and it's giving a read error so it's possible it's a bad Blu-Ray but I don't see any scratches/smudges on it. The issue is I've tried Matrix Reloaded probably a dozen times.
It seems the problem comes with compression. I was able to do a backup of it to my hard drive using no compression and it worked fine but I don't have a dual layer blu-ray (and don't want to buy one with the prices) so couldn't burn in. The problem is when I try it with compression it fails and seems to be compression related. Now some places I'm reading people are suggesting to use imgburn which I have but the problem is it's the reading in and compression where the error is, not the burning.
After doing some reading last night I tried then just to backup the main movie. I was unsure of how to do this in DVDFab so I used another program,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The good news is it read it in fine and was only 17GB, much smaller than expected. I then used DVDFab to burn it to a BD-R. I was able to successfully watch it on my Samsung BD-P2500. The problem is the biggest HDTV is on my PS3 so that's my main player and when I tried to watch it there it would not load. I then tried burning a 2nd copy using imgburn but still it plays on my BD-P2500, not the PS3. It seems from reading online there are issues with the PS3 that cause some blu-rays not to work. I know for example if I read a Blu-Ray in on DVDFab and burn it on Nero it won't work. I am sure this is a settings issue.
My desire is to be able to backup the full movie but if not I'm willing to settle for just the main movie. I would mostly watch it on the PS3 though so does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to backup the entire movie? If not, what can I do differently to make the main movie work on the PS3?
I really would like to stick with DVDFab and have used it for years. The only reason I bought it is sometime back some DVD's would not backup but [the other software] worked.
Thanks.
