Very weird behavior with The Fury (1978)

[SecretSuperstar]

Trying to rip the 2001 region 1 DVD release of the 1978 film The Fury. DVDFab 8 thinks the disc is only 2 minutes long, with 2 chapters totalling about 108MB of data, where DVDFab 7.0.7.0 (on a different computer) sees everything (around 8GB of data).

I don't know whether the difference is in the drives or the DVDFab versions, but this is the first time I've ever seen where the same disc shows completely different contents on 2 different versions/systems.

Burn_vso and internal logs from the system that only saw 2 minutes of content:

Have you tried it with Pathplayer disabled?

Hi SecretSuperstar

To do as Gruñón suggested Open Fab Click the Green √ top right > Protection > Path Player click Disable Path Player click OK restart Fab and try again, just remember to set it back to Always Enabled to decrypt newer movies.

That seems to have done the trick! First time I've ever had to change that.

Thanks for the tip!

I have no idea why it is necessary to change Pathplayer for many of the older movies but doing so solves a lot of problems.

Be sure you enable Pathplayer for the newer movies.
